Bill says it is important that all candidates for prez in Kazahkstan have media access
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 03:19 AM by ursi
what about John Edwards in America? What about the reporters that had been murdered in Kazahkstan in the preceding months for trying to tell the other side of the story there about human rights abuses?

2005
snip...

Citing the press service of For a Just Kazakhstan, the news agency reported that Clinton emphasized that all candidates in Kazakhstan's upcoming presidential election should have equal access to the media.

Bill is going to take Hillary down with him again because of where that hand of his has been.

5. I don't think the media ignored Edwards on the same scale
Although the parallels to some undemocratic countries are really bothersome.

I remember learning about "economic rents" and bribery being a major cause of destabilizing third world economies. Then I was like "wait a minute, that goes on here all of the time". Of course in the third world it's on a much larger scale and we are a rich enough nation that we can compensate for it.
