This is just bizarre. Ventura was absolutely blistering in his attack on the media for locking out the major third party candidates out of the debate--his press conference announcing a political appointee from his own party, Dean Barkley, is being COMPLETELY IGNORED by the national AND local media. His press conference was full of fireworks--and only ONE channel, local or national, covered it, despite the fact that the three media whore networks--CNN, Fox & MSNBC all carried the debate live.

It looks to me like a clear case of media censorship. SERIOUS media censorship. The Minnesota senate seat race has been THE major story in the media since Wellstone's death, and now they aren't doing anything but giving the story of Ventura's appointment more than a single line or two. They aren't covering the governor's scathing, half hour diatribe against the media AT ALL.

Ventura really nailed it, when he said that the two party system has the media in their back pockets, and is doing all it can to destroy the third party movement. Ventura is so bizarre. He can be so awfully, terribly wrong, but at other times, so very right.
