I think that Badnarik's last minute media buy the days before the election help to confirm this. He suddenly was covered by the FOX news and MSNBC. His mistake was to wait to the last minute to run TV ads. It is counterproductive for us to whine about media blackouts (or "Browne outs") when we refuse to recognize the power of bought media. Bought media begats free media every time. And, with the exception of obscure publications, media endorsements ONLY go to those that make media buys, though making a media buy is certainly no guarantee of an endorsement. A part of this is probably because news reporters and editors do read their own publications. I don't think they are consciously ignoring us and other minor candidates. But they become more aware of us when we are aware of them. That said, I do like the "spin" the Texas person said of the corruption of major candidates versus underfunded the Libertarian candidate.
