Huckabee Wants More Balanced Coverage of the 2008 Race

Former Arkansas Governor and 2008 GOP Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is tired of the media focusing only on Former Mayor Giuliani, Former Governor Mitt Romney, and Senator John McCain. "You'd think those three are the only people running," he said.

Governor Huckabee is right. As I posted yesterday the media has deemed itself the sifter of viable presidential candidates. Sadly however, many blogs are the same way, only commenting on the so-called "first tier". You'd think the bloggers would have more compassion for the little guy, but at the end of the day I guess they just want to work for the Washington Post. For those bloggers who do focus on so-called "second tier candidates," good for you. If blogging is a more democratic form of media, as many claim, then we can't just act like the mainstream media.
