Fight for Who Controls Televised Debates

FIGHT FOR WHO CONTROLS TELEVISED DEBATES
[SOURCE: Associated Press, AUTHOR: David Bauder]
The legacy of Dennis Kucinich's longshot presidential campaign may be less his anti-war views than a futile fight that legally reinforced the rights of TV networks to organize their own debates. That may come at a cost, however, with some Americans are already worried about the media's influence on the campaign. Forcing a network to include one candidate is censorship, and the Federal Communications Commission said it won't do that. Still, the idea of keeping candidates out of debates offended some people's sense of fair play.
