Having covered 5 debates in 2016, I know FOR A FACT there are outlets with smaller reach than
@StatusCoup being granted media credentials. So no "space constraints" for them---but there are for progressive independent media that, gasp!, will actually ask establishment candidatesShow this thread -
and their campaign officials tough questions---you know....a thing called journalism. This is a form of censorship by corporate media outlets essentially to protect candidates they favor (NBC/MSNBC's parent company Comcast held Biden's 1st fundraiser for his campaign)

@StatusCoup is not built on "access" 2 campaigns---we are built on access to THE PEOPLE. So we're going to Miami anyway to interview voters and cover events outside the building. The irony is---@NBCNews and@dnc think they are helping themselves by shutting out independent mediaShow this thread -
