15 Things Neither Romney Nor Obama Is Brave Enough to Stand For:

1. Neither candidate is interested in stopping the use of the death penalty for federal or state crimes.

2. Neither candidate is interested in eliminating or reducing the 5,113 US nuclear warheads.

3. Neither candidate is campaigning to close Guantanamo prison.

4. Neither candidate has called for arresting and prosecuting high ranking people on Wall Street for the subprime mortgage catastrophe.

5. Neither candidate is interested in holding anyone in the Bush administration accountable for the torture committed by US personnel against prisoners in Guantanamo or in Iraq or Afghanistan.

6. Neither candidate is interested in stopping the use of drones to assassinate people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen or Somalia.

7. Neither candidate is against warrantless surveillance, indefinite detention, or racial profiling in fighting “terrorism.’

8. Neither candidate is interested in fighting for a living wage. In fact neither are really committed beyond lip service to raising the minimum wage of $7.25 an hour – which, if it kept pace with inflation since the 1960s should be about $10 an hour.

9. Neither candidate was interested in arresting Osama bin Laden and having him tried in court.

10. Neither candidate will declare they refuse to bomb Iran.

11. Neither candidate is refusing to take huge campaign contributions from people and organizations.

12. Neither candidate proposes any significant specific steps to reverse global warming.

13. Neither candidate is talking about the over 2 million people in jails and prisons in the US.

14. Neither candidate proposes to create public jobs so everyone who wants to work can.

15. Neither candidate opposes the nuclear power industry. In fact both support expansion.

If the demographics of the country are changing, does ANYONE in management put together the two concepts that viewership/readership is declining and authentic perspective by those other than WHITE is remaining the same? One might choose to consider.

Irene, This can only be news for white folks. Because any minority can casually see this lace of diversity on display everyday. Minorities do not need a study to know this.

Even with the election of our first African American President it is quite obvious who does the writing and interpreting of what is happening on capitol hill and beyond.

It is quite noticeable this year that there is a whole lot less african american so called pundits on this year than 4 years ago. Ownership at these media outlets must not be so liberal at all.

Look no further than the white house press corp to see a grossly inadequate minority representation. Obviously white owners feel that african american journalists would be biased towards the President not knowing that their white employees at the media hubs are definitely biased against President Obama and have always been that way. These stories are old hat and will change nothing.
