You somehow managed to miss the point entirely.

Sending letters to librarians about books does in no way equate to mentions on drive-time news reports.

Neither does it quite measure up to the level of an observation or discussion of a candidate who has been one of the leaders of opposition to a policy during discussions of said policies on a popular NPR program.

Neither does it even begin to compare with the general articles about candidates.

I can't believe we're comparing 'regular news coverage' to 'letters to librarians about new books' in the context of disseminating pertinent information about the positions of would-be presidential candidates.

:wow:

Let me spell it out:

Chomsky is not well-known in the mass media. Liberals who read will know about him -- most average working class Joes and Janes won't.

It is the average working class Janes and Joes that Kucinich's message needs to reach.
