It was business as usual for the ruling Duopoly-the Democrat/Republic Parties-on Oct. 14, 2006. Instead of have a three-way debate for governor of Maryland, Maryland Public Television, (MPT), excluded the Green Party’s Ed Boyd. Mr. Boyd said: “This sad situation is the best democracy that ‘money can buy.’ All the folks on the ballot aren’t being heard.” It makes me wonder: What does the word “public” in Maryland Public Television really stand for?
