If Kucinich has been in the Las Vegas debate-3/5

Breaking the Sound Barrier: Democracy Now! Re-Hosts NBC Las Vegas Debate to Include Kucinich After NBC Wins Appeal to Exclude Him

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich was missing from the stage at last night's Democratic debate hosted by MSNBC in Las Vegas after he lost a last-minute legal fight with the network over his participation. Last week, NBC told Kucinich that he had met the criteria for the debate. Then, less than two days later, the network changed the criteria and declared that Kucinich was no longer qualified. On Monday, a Nevada judge ordered NBC to include Kucinich, but then NBC appealed the ruling and actively fought to keep him off the stage. On Tuesday night, less than an hour before the debate, the Nevada Supreme Court sided with NBC. Democracy Now! decided to break the sound barrier and give Kucinich a chance to take part. In an exclusive broadcast, we re-broadcast excerpts of the debate and give the Ohio Congressman a chance to answer the questions he might have faced if he hadn't been silenced.

Amy, Thank you so much! This is so cool.

Since when does mainstream media own our awares and can have government support to do so? This is fascism to withhold our ability to see our all sponsored candidates debate their views along with the other candidates. Why doesn't Dean support Dennis? Is he also in bed with the corporate controllers. And why doesn't the other candidates support Dennis' rights to be included? These are our role models.  What are they modeling for America?
