ABC News has decided that a third of the Democratic candidates don't deserve reporters on their campaigns. Kucinich criticized Koppel during Tuesday's debate for beginning with a question about Al Gore's endorsement of Howard Dean. Later, he was angered when Koppel asked whether he, Braun or Sharpton are "in this as sort of a vanity candidacy." Kucinich replied that he "may be inconvenient for some of those in the media but, you know, I'm sorry about that." On Thursday, he noted ABC's coverage decision and his criticisms during the debate, saying "it appears ABC may have taken it personally."
