Thread Name: BS: Dennis Kucinich and the olive pit
Subject: RE: BS: Dennis Kucinich and the olive pit
Dennis Kucinich's politics is not good for big corporations such as Time Warner(CNN), Viacom(CBS), GE(NBCs), Disney(ABC) or Newscorp(Fox "News") That is why he doesn't get fair coverage. That is why he had to sue to try to get included in the debates. But I agree with six here. I am disgusted by Coopers total disregard for journalistic ethics. A lot of good points have been raised here to explain Kucinich's law suit. I am not a reporter with a seven figure salary and a huge staff of producers and assistants to call on for help. I can't go down the hall and ask a man who turned down the job of surgeon General for a medical opinion. I don't have a pda address book full of lawyers who would be glad to come on my show and explain legal strategy. But I have broken a tooth and it hurts like hell and I could talk all during the months that the pain slowly and progressively got worse and I also am familiar enough with the US legal system and basic games theory to know that if you sue for more than you hope or expect to get there is more room for a satisfactory settlement. I never expected such a one sided hatchet job from Cooper. I guess he has given up on any pretense of being a journalist. Maybe he is hoping to get laid off with a big settlement like Olbermann's?
