42 percent of Democratic primary voters in Kentucky on Tuesday chose "uncommitted" over Barack Obama

Networks Censor News of Massive Democratic Protest Vote Against Obama

42 percent of Democratic primary voters in Kentucky on Tuesday chose "uncommitted" over Barack Obama.

In Arkansas, a Tennessee attorney finished with 41 percent of the vote. ABC's Good Morning America, NBC's Today and CBS This Morning all skipped the embarrassing story, despite the fact that CBS and NBC covered the far less interesting Republican primary.

During the month of May, Obama suffered through a series of humiliating protest votes in Democratic primaries. On May 8th, the incumbent President nearly lost the West Virginia primary to a convicted felon. Yet, except for a single mention at 4am on May 9th, the networks have buried Obama's bad news.

A sitting Democratic President suffering his third primary protest vote against non-serious candidates is interesting. Or it should be to journalists concerned with facts and trends.

Such a protest vote should at least warrant a mention. Democratic voters going out of their way to register displeasure, despite the fact that Obama obviously will be their nominee, indicates anger and problems ahead for the President.

On May 9th, GMA, Today and CBS This Morning all skipped convicted felon Keith Judd earning 43 percent of the vote in West Virgnia. The only network program to cover it was the CBS Morning News, a show that airs at 4am.
