The corporate media bias at CNN's June 5th debate in New Hampshire was clear. Ron Paul was marginalized not only physically - by being pushed to the far end of the stage - but, also in terms of his limited speaking time. He was given less time than CNN's anointed "big three," who dominated the stage and the debate, and was not given the opportunity to answer all questions.

We the undersigned believe there is no place for such bias in a presidential debate. As a result, we urge ABC news to give equal time to all candidates, and allow each candidate to answer all questions at the Iowa Republican Presidential Forum on August 5, 2007.

    • The behaviour of CNN in their treatment of Dr. Ron Paul in their debate was unconscionable! I strongly urge ABC to give equal time to ALL the candidates in your upcoming debate. It is far, FAR too early in the Presidential election cycle to limit the publics acces to knowledge of ALL the potential candidates. We might just surprise you and the rest of Main Stream Media if we actually have an opportunity to make up our OWN minds regarding who the "Front Runners" are!

    • Ron Paul has more money than John McCain and an ever expanding base of support. We should begin to consider him a first tier candidate. He should be given equal time as the other first tier candidates.
