The party just needs to regroup and reach out to voters who have defected or just don't relate any more. The proposed town hall-type meetings are a start.

I agree. The news media is not there to provide a public service. The news media is commercial with the appropriate profit motive. They package their product for selling to specific audience demographics, as their advertising revenue is dependent on which audience(s) are being targeted. That comment has been made several times on this board regarding the Daily Sun, and it is a correct one. You cant blame the various media outlets for how they package and sell their product in ways they find makes the most money for their stockholders.
