Rigged election: TV Network coverage of 3rd parties - 47 seconds in eight months including Gary Johnson's 11 seconds
Posted by freedomforall 8 years, 2 months ago to Politics
GOP nominee Donald Trump got 1,773 minutes of coverage, Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton got 1,020 minutes.
“That means Clinton has received more than 5,000 times more coverage than Johnson, while Donald Trump garnered nearly 10,000 times more evening news airtime than his Libertarian challenger.”
Polls show that 52 to 60% of voters want Johnson to appear in the debates. The networks obviously do not want any chance that their trough of loot could be overturned by the will of an informed people.
