There are other parties our there besides Democrats and Republicans - and they usually get slighted in the media. Heck, they don't really even get covered at all. When I ask why, most people will say, "money." But news coverage doesn't (or shouldn't) have anything to do with money.

All candidates should be invited to debate each other. All candidates should be reported about in the news, regardless of how much money they have to spend on advertising.

As voters we have a responsibility to educate ourselves about all the candidates so we can make informed choices - but that's a little hard to do when you can't read about them in the paper.
