The media is like the Berlin Wall it keeps what it believes is dangerous to its liberal bias out of sight of the public. The media has erected its wall between those seeking public office and the voters, i.e. Dan Rather's gatekeeper rationale. Except for the occasional televised townhall meeting, the media does all the questioning at press conferences and the debates. All avenues for the average voter to question candidates in a televised or widely publicized audience have been foreclosed by the media. Is it any wonder that big media was such a enormous supporter of campaign finance reform?
