NEW YORK - Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich filed a complaint with the FCC on Friday after ABC News excluded him, fellow Democrat Mike Gravel and Republican Duncan Hunter from its prime-time debates on Saturday.


Kucinich argued that ABC is violating equal-time provisions by keeping him out of the debate and noted that ABC's parent Walt Disney Co. had contributed to campaigns involving the four Democrats who were invited.

"ABC should not be the first primary," the Ohio congressman said in papers filed at the Federal Communications Commission.

4. I know that not that Kucinich doesnt get that much attention around...

here, but I would think that there would be more democratic voters upset over this type of shit. What happens when its their candidate that is getting shafted, maybe then they will see the problem. I was looking forward to this debate because he would get more time with less candidates being in the running now. Oh well.
