America cheated by TV's failure to cover third parties

As far as television news is concerned, Bob Barr and Ralph Nader aren't presidential candidates but faces on milk cartons. Nader, an independent, and Barr, a Libertarian, are both on the ballot in 45 states. What they aren't on: TV. The lefty media critics at Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting issued a study Tuesday that says the three broadcast-network news divisions -- ABC, NBC and CBS -- have mentioned Barr and Nader a total of 31 times all year along. (In poor Nader's case, two of the mentions came when he was the punchline in jokes by late-night comedians that were included in newscasts.)
