Why are the democratic party candidates getting more national coverage than the republican candidates?
Question: I am not on the side of either, so I feel like I'm pretty objective. Is a democratic candidate more likely to win following a republican, thus more reason for democratic candidates to spend money campaigning.. ??? Thanks!
Answers: There are a lot of reasons.
First of all, there's a theory that this election started very early because people are so disgusted with how things are going that they're looking forward to the next administration and the next Congress. If so, the media sees an advantage in covering challengers over incumbents, in both presidential and congressional races, especially when the incumbent is a 'lame duck'.
Secondly, with de-regulation or media have become very profit-oriented and they twist the news to their own economic advantage. They rate candidates by money and whoever comes into the race with the most money they declare the presumptive candidate and they treat the rest as 'also-rans' from the beginning. They do this, of course, because all that money eventually goes into their own pockets, being spent on ads in media! This time around it's the Democrats who have more money!
Finally, legit or not, the Democrats are more able to promise real change. All the Republican candidates except Paul have all the same opinions on all the same issues, the official party positions. The media recognize (and I think people are beginning to recognize too) that the GOP is not about one man, it's about an agenda. Whichever GOP candidate you pick, you get not -his- ideas and agenda but the standard party ideas and agenda.
The Democrats are more interesting to cover because they actually have different positions, they actually disagree on lots of things. (This should get Ron Paul more coverage, but the media know he doesn't have a chance of getting the Republicans' nomination!)
Fox is the only network which isn't fairly liberal. They save they're nuetral but are probably somewhat conservative.
The other networks seem to believe that the Dems are the only party.
(Fox is taking market share away from the other networks, interestingly enough)
I'm neither Democrat or Republican. Bill Clinton convinced me to never again vote Democratic and George W is working on convincing me to never vote Republican.
I'm not watching the liberal CNN, MSNBC channels so I get both sides covered with Fox.
Because the agenda of the media is BIG GOVERNMENT, and they, like anyone else are going to push their agenda.
My agenda, is an end to big government, so I am going to push Ron Paul.
Please go and read his position on the issues, you will be glad that you did.
Probably has something to do with $ and illegal campaign financing like hillaryous.
I think it's just Hillary getting more coverage, which is a shame. I'd like to hear more from the other canidates.

Well, that's actually the problem. He's only a viable candidate because of his image --- like a plain spoken, down home guy and his name recognition thanks to his acting roles.

They are complete idiots. You have to have to be a fool to enjoy having these freaks in power. Hopefully the Repubs will put forth a strong candidate in Nevada and we can get rid of Reid like we did D
