Excluding Kucinich and Paul is illegal and you will be fined by the FCC. You are supposed to represent the news and the nation interests...but unfortunately you haven''t been doing that for a long time. Most have forgotten, but you were the first faux news network around. It is widely known that you worked with the CIA in the past, present, and will continue to do so in the future to shape Amerdika. I will be boycotting CBS and its sponsors.
This is blatantly manipulative and unfair. You should be tried for treason. You are missing out on the real story here. Its going to bite you and the american people in the ***. You are traitors. You are not doing your jobs.

hmm thats funny, I see my last comment was deleted, I''ll repost it for you cBS like i said the first time CBS = Censoring Biased Systems. Ron Paul has more support including the military than any other candidate. He leads the polls in EVERY poll i''ve seen. If you were looking for the top 5, why would you put a drag queen who spent tax payers money to finance his extramarrital affairs and has ties to terrorists such as Khalid Sheikh Muhammad on instead of Ron Paul? same goes for Kucinich. Kucinich & Paul are the only 2 I want to hear from. Why were they not included? I think Couric needs to ask her CEO "what is the biggest mistake he ever made" as CBS ratings plummit due to your censorship and biased views, i''m sure this will be one of mention. I for one will NOT be watching CBS. and I copied this, so if you delete it again I''ll just repost it. people have a right to know your Biased and you Censor content.

What is the matter? Are your journalists just your mouthpieces?
Why can''t you see that Ron Paul has been censored by every corporate media there is ?
Do a story on this !!!!!!!

Why no R0n Pau1 or Denn1s Kuc1n1ch? Those are the only two candidates that remotely interest me. Obviously there''s nothing for me on the rest of the television networks but the science channel or Battle Star Galactica. Pity, because I have disposable income to burn.

Thank you CBS for this excellent example of why no one takes old media seriously. Ron Paul is raising more money, has more grassroots support, larger rallies, wins every debate poll, and is the only non-robotic candidate in the race. By not including Dr. Paul, you have again lost your journalistic credibility. Dr. Paul and his movement are the ONLY news worthy stories of this election cycle, but you shamefully title your coverage the "Horserace". Horserace......??? This isnt a Horserace CBS, this my country that you are messing with!

I, too, find your deliberate omission of Kucinich and Paul to represent a failure to exercise that inclusion so critical to a functioning democracy. These men speak for the American people! As for the other candidates? They may need the American people right now (for obvious reasons) but do they truly represent our needs? Have they put forth arguments and agendas that will restore integrity and respect to a country whose Constitution has been all but shredded? If you plan to keep your audience, you would do well to give us what we want and vigorously resist that self-serving urge to coddle the corporate powers-that-be.

It appears you''re not interviewing Ron Paul.

Rasmussen is reporting Dr. Paul''s support at 8%, just three points behind others that you are interviewing. Does that strike you as balanced?

I am curious as to your intent in censoring Dr. Ron Paul and Congressman Kucinich. Will an explanation of your censorship be provided in the broadcast? Obviously it is not an issue of popularity or viability as Dr. Paul has more support than Richardson or Thompson, and is more viable to the voting public than any of the other candidates (except for maybe Kucinich). If you do fail to provide valid reasons for your censorship, you can be assured that I will do everything in my power to explain what CBS has done in this instance to as many people as I can reach.

To: evening@cbsnews.com

Hello,

Yesterday I sent an email inquiry into the segment "CBS News To Debut Series On The Candidates", asking why Dr. Ron Paul and Congressman Kucinich were not featured. I am patiently waiting for a response, as I''m sure there is a reasonable explanation.

However, if I do not receive one or there is none publicized within the next 24 hours I will have no choice but to end my relationship with CBS, it''s affiliates, subsidiaries, it''s parent companies, and all marketing/advertising partners as well.

Additionally, I will be speaking the truth about CBS to everyone I know, and letting them decide how to deal with this tragedy.

Please let the American public know the reasoning behind the exclusions.

Thank you,

The view from up here is not pretty. As a Canadian interested in American politics I find it slightly disturbing that you are not including the 2 most talked about candidates. Kucinich and Paul are like a breath of fresh air, if you do not include them then what is the point? All the rest of them just tow the party line and have nothing new to say. They all just pat each other on the back.

CBS is making a huge mistake by not including them and showing very clearly how corrupt your corporation...I mean country is! Let us hope the people of this country continue to raise concerns about this biased coverage!

I initially liked Mike Huckabee and I know support Ron Paul. However, it looks like you are not including him in your coverage. Am I missing something? He is the leading Republican candidate in fundraising and is increasing in the polls. Why is Ron Paul not a part of this series?

He is of interest to a great many people and I think CBS would be well served to give him the coverage he deserves.

It''s obvious what you are doing. You think that as long as you keep pointing and saying "Look over there!" that all of America will forget that there are two good candidates who have our best interests at heart.

You are wise to try this because if we ever did get a good, honest president you''d be out of business.

For now, you''ve got enough viewers who are not curious enough to look for the truth. But your reign is short. When the young and informed grow up, and realize how their future is being mishandled television "news" will be exposed for the joke it is.
