Interest in the Dems

LiberalOasis has a piece today on the relatively light coverage that the Democratic Presidential contenders are currently getting, and a recent poll showing that only 27% of those surveyed were "very" or "fairly" interested in hearing more about it.

Now, it’s ridiculous to think there would be copious attention paid to the Dems at this point. Things have barely gotten started.

Unlike the Peterson case – the outcome of which will not dictate the course of globe – news coverage has been relatively light.

And no one would even show the last debate in prime time.

Without such coverage, how can the public become “very” or “fairly interested”?

Given how close the news media is with the conservative side of the political spectrum these days, maybe that's precisely the point.
