There is a legitimate liberal alternative to Andrew Cuomo who should be covered by WNYC on an equal footing with the other candidates on the ballot. He is Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate. Just because the Tea Party has Fox News, Murdoch, and Koch, doesn't make them any more important than any other candidate.
