I am so angry. The media has
Submitted on April 24th, 2008 by HitsumeiI am so angry. The media has to stop lying. They're such liars.
I've sent the following letter.
"Hello,
I am here to file a complaint because I can't stand seeing news outlets lie. Gravel is still running and he said that he is running until November. He went from Democrat to libertarian to stay in the race, and he may even end up becoming an independent candidate. The bottom line is, even if Gravel has to switch parties or become independent to stay in the race, Gravel will stay until November and his ideas will never change.
So please respect that and stop shoving the American Idol psychopathic lip-synching contestants (McCain, Hillary and Obama) down our throats.
I am doing whatever I can to make Gravel known, in spite of the corporate censorship. If Gravel dropped out, then why am I getting Gravel to come to the College Perk Coffee House on April 30th? Why am I still working for him as Montgomery County Md director of the campaign? Why are people in his campaign still working for him then?
News channels claim to care about people's problems, but they only support candidates who will promise them more depressing news reports at the expense of human beings. I do not want one or two more wars (Obama will guarantee two wars, and Hillary and McCain will ensure at least another war on top of our war burdens).
You don't care about the truth. You just want to satisfy the advertisers who finance your channels, whether it's big pharma companies or the military industrial complex.
Plus, McCain, Obama and Hillary all have lobby money from Time Warner. So the bias is very clear.
Please show ALL of the candidates (Gravel, McKinney, Jesse Johnson, Kelcey Wilson, Ralph Nader and there are probably other candidates that I haven't heard of yet).
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely yours,Heyfa K."

Mainstream Media at it's best/worst
Submitted on April 25th, 2008 by choosenowOf course, they mean that Gravel dropped out of the Democratic party to join the Libertarian party, but they kindly did not inform people that he joined the Libertarian party (except for a nice little interview with Sanchez).So, technically they're not lying.Is anyone here truly surprised at such a perversion of the truth from the media?I highly doubt we could force CNN to acknowledge his switch to the Libertarian Party on their candidates list. OUT is much more straightforward for ADD Americans than CHANGED PARTY.Also, we gotta think of new ways to tell people that Gravel is still in the race as a Libertarian. I found some old flyers that the ex-Wisconsin Director sent to me. None of them mention which political party he's in (though the booklet Man for America talks about him as when he was a Democrat). I plan on putting them up around where I live (legally, of course). Maybe seeing fresh copies of these flyers might remind people that he's still in the race.
The media is not allowed to
Submitted on April 24th, 2008 by HitsumeiThe media is not allowed to lie like this, especially since I am planning a Gravel event next week, and people in this campaign are still working hard to get Gravel's message across.
The pictures show a clear bias too.
So let's see...first Keith Olbermann lied then a few newspapers lied and now CNN is lying...the media is evil.

The Real Beauty of This...
Submitted on April 24th, 2008 by Jaywin***SARCASM ALERT***
The real beauty of this is that Rick Sanchez ***of CNN*** just interviewed Senator Gravel a couple of weeks ago about his switch to the Libertarian Party!
Ya gotta love it.

Notice the deliberate omission
Submitted on April 24th, 2008 by BamaGravelian"
-->Candidate status: Dropped out March 27, 2008"
which clearly corresponds to him announcing his Libertarian run and this is completely omitted from the record. I don't know how many people have told me that they heard he dropped out and they are not even aware he is running as a Libertarian. In fact, I got an e-mail along these lines today.
Of course, this is an honest mistake. CNN and MSNBC would never deliberately lie. I mean come on: running Libertarian is the same as dropping out. Anything else besides the two-party system could never win, because the people are so stupid and eat up anything we feed them. They should be grateful to us they don't have to spend a cent on the candidates or bother doing any research on the issues; we've got it all worked out already. Come and see the show!
Whoops, forgot my sarcasm alert.
