Isn't there some sort of equal time regulation when something goes out over public airwaves? I guess it's these people's business but there's more to being president than skin color. It's pretty narrow minded to vote for president just based on race..Sounds like an example of reverse racism.Personally I'd like to see the country move on past races and etnicity but the left in this country just won't let it go.Dividing people into micro groups is how they try to win elections.What if Fox decided to only cover republicans?

Ok...given that logic, then only John McCains campaign should be allowed on military news channels...after all, it's just "an American success story by a man who just happens to be ex-military," to paraphrase Sheryl Underwood.

This is just another way that Blacks have never wanted intergration , rather their own culture plus "affirmative action to get what they want.

Is this some kind of Onion-like parody?

Reminds me of 1992. Nightline covered the Democrats' convention in Atlanta. I remember Ted Koppel interviewing Jesse Jackson and Jimmay Carter. Later, at the Republican convention in New Orleans, it was a shock when George H. W. Bush chose Dan Quayle for his VP. I turned to Nightline to see what the remarks would be. Guess what? Nightline wasn't even in New Orleans and wasn't covering the convention? How could a network, back then, cover one party but not the other? Things haven't changed much, have they?

Another example of racist blacks. These people will never be satisfied while living in a majority white/hispanic society. Racial unity is immpossible with these bigots.
