\"\"<\/a>Here we go again: Another TV station wants to exclude independent 3rd Congressional District candidate Carol Miller<\/a> from a debate. <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, KOAT-TV<\/a> in Albuquerque<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> caved to pressure<\/a> and allowed Miller to participate in its debate along with Democrat Ben Ray Luj\u00e1n<\/a> and Republican Dan East<\/a>. Now, according to Miller, KOB-TV<\/a> plans to exclude her from its debate scheduled for Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The situation is the same, so I\u2019m going to simply quote from the article I wrote earlier this month<\/a> calling on KOAT-TV and the co-sponsoring Albuquerque Journal<\/a> to let Miller debate:<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\u201cMedia organizations should know better. By excluding independent Carol Miller<\/a>, they\u2019re helping prop up the corrupt and morally bankrupt two-party system that dragged us into the current economic crisis and other problems.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 But the media isn\u2019t supposed to be part of that system. It\u2019s supposed to be independent of the powers-that-be. Especially at a time when America<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> is in crisis and the public is fed up with the powers-that-be, you might think the media would take seriously its responsibility to be independent of that system.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Miller has received newspaper endorsements from the Los Alamos Monitor<\/a> and Las Vegas Optic<\/a>. She\u2019s a credible candidate. Not letting her debate would be a disservice to the public that would discredit KOB-TV.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Contact KOB-TV and urge the station to let Miller participate in the debate. You can e-mail the station at news@kob.com<\/a> and jioos@kob.com<\/a> or call the station at (505) 764-2453 or (505) 243-4411.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
