(15,805 posts)I disagree with your opinion. I don't find it necessary to bash you personally just to advance my own POV. I disagree with you because today's journalism revolves around conflict and nothing plays better than a ripping verbal cage match. We actually have some democrats who like doing interviews such as Warren, King, Sanders, Schiff, Franken, or Klobuchar, and the reporters must like having them as they appear frequently. So, where are the rest of them?
I also disagree with you that the "media is ignoring them" because nearly every host on MSNBC has complained on air that Democrats (and Republicans, as expected) won't accept their calls or appear on their shows. I'd like to see a Dem appear every night on Maddow's and Lawrence's shows. Sure, Fox would meet your conjecture, but with a 24/7 news cycle to fill with fresh news, the cable news crews would welcome interviews with key Democrats. Do the Dems treat them all like they do MSNBC and just ignore the opportunity to do interviews, don't they call or invite the press to come talk with them, or take a couple of minutes to stop and just talk to reporters at large?
Anyway, while I disagree with your premise, best to you nonetheless.
