http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/ It's time the media started reporting instead of opining. Give voters the chance to make an informed decision Sat, 12 Jan 2008 21:0:14 CST en-us 3 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3837285 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Media needs to be impartial and not focus on 2 people fighting like highschoolers. They need to focus and report on what the candidates say they are going to do. that in the end is who the contry will elect. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3833191 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST With the majority of the electorate getting their information from television, we cannot afford to not be informed about all of the candidates. John beat Clinton in Iowa, so why is she getting more press coverage? John is truly capable of winning the Presidency if he is given equal opportunity like he should. Isn't that what we are all about in America? http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3830147 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Please begin tonight We will not be silent. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3830134 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I see the media can't count above 2. They completely shut John Edwards out and closed the barn doors on him. This is injustice to the American people and far from fair and balanced. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3830130 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Media coverage of Edwards is unforgivable. Give me substance! Stop saying Edwards is dead! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3830084 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I do not like being TOLD who to vote for! The exclusion of John Edwards are sad, sad days for the USA.This is a 3 way...not 2 way as the media would like us to beleive! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3830067 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3830046 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST stop being biased with your poilitcal coverage. You give NO air time at all to John Edwards and he is still a close contender. We don't need your opiniuons, just report the facts and fair coverage. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829983 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST There are more than 2 candidates, please cover more than 2.....where is the unbiased news???l http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829969 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Give equal coverage to all democratic candidates. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829956 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST There are those among us, in this country, who no longer rely on TV or radio or newspapers. I am one of those, having been a reporter told to spin to sell, Dumb Down to a 3rd grade level, dig dirt to unseat politicians [deemed a threat to the editor's agenda]... etc.Remembering that turns me off, as does skewed journalism. So I turn my TV/radio off, read zero newspapers including a local weekly. I see it as a principled boycott, in support of all humanity.I've made an exception, however, to see 2008's campaign. Candidates in debates, TV interviews, campaign ads give me a view of demeanor, body language, authenticity. Persona reveals more to me than what is said so I weigh all I see with all I hear from a candidate.When mainstream media ignores any candidate I ask why, assuming that media source may have an unspoken agenda or is leaning toward a bias. It seems unAmerican to call The Game before all clearly viable candidates are seen and heard in a fair way so voters might evaluate before voting.This lively campaign is far from over, is not a Done Deal and focusing on gliltz is stinky to poor journalism, at best. The favoritism being shown smacks of censorship. I, for one, find it appalling for mass media moguls to disenfranchise voters by impedes our rights to evaluate all candidates.Only with fair, unbiased reporting will we have a chance to review issues and make wise choices. When the media puts a higher priority on glitz than on substance that speaks to their agenda, it being $ell-$ell-$ell and let the chips fall as they may. Voters rely on the media and voters aren't pawns to be cast aside just to play The Game of Politics As Usual. We expect better and yes, we also deserve better. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829801 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST THIS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST jOHN eDWARDS HAS BEEN GOING ON FROM THE START OF THIS CAMPAIGN. AND i for one am sick of hearing about candidates way behind JOHN AND NOTHING ABOUT john. END THIS NOW1 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829786 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829772 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Freedom of the press does not mean, nor did it ever, that the media is free to manipulate the citizen's of the USA by limited their choices. Get back to reporting the new in full in an unbiased manner. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829763 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829759 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Your lack of coverage of John Edwards is a disgrace to the American public. It also shows your lack to exhibit journalistic integrity. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829750 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Cover all of the candidates, not just a select few! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829749 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST We are deeply disturbed by the lack of quality coverage of this primary, especially the lack of coverage of issues and all the candidates, and the apparent blackout of candidates, even when they are viable and do well, e.g. John Edwards. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829744 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST By controlling the information that is reported and not reporting it as fact but adding interpretation, the media is attempting to control what people think. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/InfromedElectorate/#sig3829742 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST You cheat your readers and viewers when you do not report all the options available to them in the Democratic primaries
