*I Want the Second Tier to be Heard Because National Media is Ruling this Election* (Iowa)

Interesting article from Iowa Independent, in which case Biden's supporters were *timed* out of having a voice in one of the precincts in Iowa by a hasty precinct chair. Have to say that I object even to the term *second tier*, because it implies that the people on it are less than the *first tier* candidates. And who decided that? Not the people who were voting, in this case the Iowa caucus, but the media punditry that continually wants to frame election events as being between two people. (Heck, I don't vote Republican, but the exclusion of Ron Paul is wrong-I saw a couple of days ago that the NH GOP backed out of the Fox News *debate* yesterday. “We believe that it is inconsistent with the first in the nation primary tradition to be excluding candidates in a pre-primary setting,”-NH GOP State Chair.)

Anyway, here's video from what happened in Iowa. Now, mind you, I wasn't myself going to vote for Biden-I think he's a gasbag, but I have not liked how the *news* media has marginalized him.
