Fox is screwing Kucinich and Mosely Braun
21 minutes in, and they haven't been allowed to say a word, and other candidates get 2-3 oppotunities

typically Fox

2. Totally
However, at least they aren't as chaotic as CNN. No wonder FOX gets higher ratings. There is the fluffed up the propoganda - and the professionalism and marketing of it.

Good answer CMB

4. Same as last time. Kucinich got only 5 minutes.

<edit>

This is National Journal's breakdown of how much time each of the candidates was permitted to speak during Thursday's debate:

Howard Dean - 14 minutes, 7 seconds.

John Kerry - 12 minutes, 31 seconds.

Wesley Clark - 10 minutes, 36 seconds.

Richard Gephardt - 10 minutes, 2 seconds.

Joe Lieberman - 9 minutes, 26 seconds.

Carol Moseley Braun - 8 minutes, 39 seconds.

Al Sharpton - 8 minutes, 28 seconds.

John Edwards - 8 minutes, 0 seconds.

Kucinich - 5 minutes, 9 seconds.

As a result of the lopsided nature of the debate, it might have been easy to think that the range of debate within the Democratic Party with regard to the war runs the gamut from the "it was a bad idea, but we're stuck now" crowd (Dean, Clark, Kerry) to the "it was a good idea, but we're stuck now" crowd (Gephardt, Edwards, Lieberman).

5. I agree, I agree, I agree
They are giving more time to the candidates that are less liberal.

9. pretty pathetic when other candidates that are allowed to talk have to
stand up for Kucinich and Mosely Braun so that they can get to talk.

Corporate America at work.

Corporate America really does not want Kucinich (as well as Mosely Braue and Sharpton), and this just shows it when they won't give them any time.

6. Not entirely accurate...
They weren't attacked directly by Lieberman. Blame him, not the unfairness of the debate.
