What concerns me about Nader's candidacy

[ewagner]

For the most part, I think Nader is a non-entity with the voters. But what concerns me most is the play the media is giving him today. If the media wishes to do so in the coming months, they could make Nader seem more relevant than he actually is and at the same time, continue to do a hatchet job on the Democratic nominee. If Nader becomes a media darling, then, I think we're in trouble. If he runs his campaign from campus to campus and library to library, he won't be much of a threat.

I don't trust the corporate whore media one bit.

1. The right wing media will give Nader almost as much coverage as Kerry

That's the whole point of him running.

The right wing has been dreaming of Nader running and there is little doubt they helped push him into it, one way or another.

2. I agree

He's already booked for good old Judy Woodruff's Inside Politics
tomorrow. The media will gladly give him all the talking time he
wants.

3. They can give him all the airtime they want

that will just make him more of a laughingstock. His "message" will have even less appeal than it did last time because now people know how bad Bush is. This is a very different political climate than in 2000.
