“Large sections of the population are just sitting out. … It’s not just because they’re not interested in what’s happening in this country. They just don’t see that their vote actually matters,” VP candidate Cheri Honkala (G) says. “But our campaign gives an opportunity for people to see themselves, because we represent the 99%.”
After spending the whole year exclusively covering only the two corporate party candidates, Democracy Now! breaks away to give a third party candidate some coverage. Unfortunately, this is the same timing chosen by the corporate media such as the New York Times because it is the Green Party Presidential convention. Please let Democracy Now! know that you expect them to live up to their name and give equal time to third party candidates throughout the remainder of the presidential race. Democracy Now! is supposed to be the War and Peace Report, they should give equal time to the peace candidates such as Jill Stein that they give to war candidates such as Obama and Romney.
