No, no, it isn't that they don't care . . .

As I more or less predicted, the Kucinich vs NBC decision was quickly overturned. That pissed a lot of good Americans off. I'm glad. I hope it pissed enough of them off to make a difference in this morbid joke of a presidential election.
It probably won't.
A lot of those pissed-off people are saying, "Oh well, same old same old . . . another boring choice of the lesser of two evils. The media should be fairer and not force these clowns upon us and suppress the people who would do us the most good -- but they don't care."
There's your big mistake, folks. They most definitely do care.
Think about it: non-profit health care works against the interests of big pharma and insurance parasites, the pursuit of diplomacy and peace robs arms makers and private armies, fiscal responsibility impoverishes the rich and other social leeches. These are the people who own the American media. Damn right, they care! It's a matter of life or death for them.
It is "us," apparently, who don't care. "We" are the ones who aren't doing anything about it.
Am I pissed off?
You bet!
Who cares?
