The Media Game
Why isn't Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich on TV as often as Ariz. Senator John McCain or Conn. Senator Joe Lieberman?
1) If Kucinich is on a TV program, then people like Lieberman and McCain will refuse to participate, and will be shitty about it, I'm sure. "Strong-arm" tactics in use, here.
2) If Kucinich is on a TV program, then Corporate ad-buys will drop. "Hush-money" tactics in use, here.
3) If Kucinich is on a TV program, then other networks would be obliged to cover it. And that would give more face time to this "liberal", which would draw derision from FOX, ABC, CNBC. "Ganging-up" tactics in use, here.
