A Lot Like Sports, Only More Dirty

You ever wonder why the newspaper endorsements that presidential candidates get only seem to happen to a handful of candidates? Here's why!

Apparently newspapers want to interview all presidential candidates for a possible endorsement: only qualified candidates need apply, of course. They don't even invite the guys who don't matter because they want to help control your perception of this election. Not to be unfair: those longshots are sure welcome to stop by if they're in the area, though. Fair? Who said anything about fair? This is about informing the populous. If you include equal time for ALL the candidates, it just gets confusing. Too much for the average joe to sort through. We somehow got him reading a paper! Do we really need him to be reading about Mike Gravel too?
