Ok, I emailed these guys before about this, and nothing has happened, time to turn up the heat. They plan to cover the top 6 candidates, and again neglected Ron Paul. Since Rudy has dropped out, seems to me one of their anchors will have nothing to do on super Tuesday. Let's see if we can convince them to have this guy follow Ron Paul? What do you say?

I emailed them and asked if they would move the guy that was covering Giuliani to cover Ron Paul.

Hello Sir,

I am writing because I noticed on your Super Tuesday coverage page (http://www.abcnewsradio.com/programpack/february08/supertuesday.html) it shows that Steven Portnoy was assigned to cover Rudolph Giuliani. Since Mr. Giuliani has dropped out of the presidential race, I was wondering if he would now be assigned to cover the only other GOP candidate not in your line-up, Dr. Ron Paul? Millions of Ron Paul supporters are anxiously awaiting confirmation. Any help or information you can provide in this manner is greatly appreciated, and with your permission I will share your response with other Ron Paul supporters.

Here is the email I just sent to ABC:

Dear Mr. Salinger,

I have a suggestion regarding ABC's coverage of the Super Tuesday Presidential Primaries. You've assigned a reporter to every candidate with the exception of Congressman Ron Paul. My request is that you give Mr. Paul the same coverage you intend to give to the other six candidates. After all, news outlet are supposed to be objective in their reporting so that viewers get the information they need to make an informed decision regarding their choice for president.

As you know, Rudy Giuliani has dropped out of the race, and left an opening for coverage. You've had this night planned now since before Mr. Giuliani dropped out of the race, therefore it would seem logical to assume that the journalist you had assigned to Mr. Giuliani is now available to cover Mr. Paul.

I am an undecided voter, and I would like to learn more about Ron Paul's run for president. I don't use my computer often, I'm not very familiar with how the Internet works, nor do I have the time to use it as often as some. I've been told Mr. Paul is very popular on the Internet. Over the past couple of weeks, I've heard some radio ads, and received some literature on my car about Mr. Paul. Strangely, I've heard very little about the man on your network, or any other for that matter. I rely on ABC News for my news in the evenings, and would appreciate it if you could give equal coverage to all of the candidates.

Thank you for your time.

I believe that ABC is a broadcast station and not cable. Thus they are regulated by the FCC. If they fail to give equal time I will be filing a complint with the FCC and having it placed in the licensee file.
 
lmao this is laughable. How the hell does Ghoul, who was behind us and has dropped out right now, get the coverage in the first place?
