There is no way to justify the media using its air time to steer an election. get out front , admit that you are against a candidate , show where you money to buy airtime is coming from and make sure actual money is paid to do it and so we know who is behind this money so we know what they gain by doing it. To have unlimited free airtime available to trash a candidate with no accountability by hiding behind "entertainment air time" is a gross abuse of the media's power. Do you want the election outcome to be steered by the TV execs?

One man one vote. A network gets to steer millions of votes without anyone knowing what people are behind it all. Its not just steering the primary vote. I believe the networks are trying to weaken all the republican candidates and the strongest in particular in an effort to manipulate the Presidential Election . They want a weak candidate to oppose Obama and if a strong one may emerge from the primaries , they want to be sure he's damaged goods before the presidential election.
I don't think ABC conducted the interview until just this week. According to ABC they've been courting her for some time, as well as the Gingrich campaign and family for their counterpoint.

The problem is if you take this off the table what's next?

The problem is they do go on the attack how they choose in an agenda like manner. He did it, he owns it. But the media has an agenda and it's most times to go after the non-liberal.
