Media Tenor’s Campaign Watch: Lack of Coverage, Lack of Votes
Media Tenor research clearly demonstrates that lack of press coverage for Guliani and Edwards led to lack of votes. Findings also indicate that Mike Huckabee’s declining TV coverage is putting him at risk as well.
Guliani lost media awareness – and lost
ABC, NBC and CBS candidate coverage, 7/2007 – 1/2008*: coverage of major Republican candidates
Already in December the network news lost interest in Rudy Giuliani and concentrated on Romney and Huckabee. The poll trend has followed in January: less and less Republicans supported him – no media awareness, no success.
No chance for Edwards to get TV attention
ABC, NBC and CBS candidate coverage, 7/2007 – 1/2008*: coverage of major Democratic candidates
Over the last months the network news the Democratic race presented as a duel between Clinton an Obama. That’s why John Edwards had no chance to receive awareness for his candidacy.
This means a clear risk for Huckabee

This finding indicates a clear risk for Mike Huckabee: similar to Giuliani he has lost gound in TV coverage in January as well. Poll results already show that Republican support for Huckabee already decreases.

This is exactly what happend to all the other really good Democratic candidates - Most notably Joe Biden, but also Richardson and Dodd. It’s clear to me that the media has chosen our candidates, and I really resent it.

The media also ignored Kucinich and Gravel. Sure they were long shot candidates, but they were qualified candidates and should have been given the same respect and air time as the others. I guess we have to change “We the people” to “We the media”.

Media coverage is dictated from above, the lords of the press,the suits that make the heads talk its about money and tonnes of it. The parties suck up everything they can from the faithful and give it to the media barons.
And the numbers now have to be honest so party that spends the most gets the most time. Add some money to the court system and you’ve picked the winner.
The Huckster, he’s chaff,Elmer Gantry meets Daddy Grace with a touch of Father Feiny. Watch the press ‘discover’ Paul when he starts using his lolly.
