WFTV-Channel 9 doesn't have any 'priviledges'...they got their interview with the next vice-president of the united states and they botched it by asking invalid questions about marxism and socialism (WTF?)...WFTV serves orlando which has a population of less than 190,000 (not including guests at disneyworld)...it's a backwater tv station in the middle of a town that wouldn't exist if walt disney hadn't bought 47 square miles of swamp for his resort theme park...most tv stations in real cities four times that size won't enjoy as much priviledge as WFTV had so there goes your theory about media suppression

BTW: helen thomas didn't pester george bush with idiotic questions about him being a socialist (before he became a REAL socialist and nationalized half of wall street)...at least i can thank george bush for one thing: he rendered useless the republican use of the word 'socialism' as it applies to normal government social programs that benefit people instead of corporations
