Why does the news report mainly on two parties?

Question

When is the last time you read news on Cynthia McKinney or Bob Barr? etc... Why wasn't the Libertarian Convention reported on?

At least 30% of people are interested in alternate parties, and are sick of red vs. blue politics, but the news doesn't cover it?

Why not?

Answer 1

Because nobody cares about the alternate parties.  If people did it would be in the news.

30% are interested?  Yeah right.

Answer 2

the two main parties represent the rich and powerful. Most media is owned by the extremely rich and extremely powerful. Of course they're going to focus on nobody else! Barr and Nader would probably try to close the tax loopholes for our giant national news conglomerates.

Answer 3

They are not worth the ink. Peace

Answer 4

Sorry to bust ya bubble but it doesnt matter who gets in

Whoever is in power just does what there told .

The media is also controled by the same people ,

Answer 5
