It could well be because they have already covered Bustamante's and McClintock's platforms. News is just that, its news. If McClintock hasnt said or done something new, why would they report it. The news media is not a propaganda forum for politicians. You actually have to generate NEWS to get news coverage. As the EXPERIENCED and COMPETENT politician, McClintock ought to know that.

I am not sure what your point is. Much of Arnold's recent positioning is an echo of positions he has taken in the past. McClintock doubled his support in the last week; that's not news?

McClintock's poll numbers have doubled within the last week? That's good news, and I expect they'll keep getting higher as Republicans of the state decide they prefer a principled conservative over a RINO Dick Riordan clone.

Gee last week you folks were saying that Arnold hadnt taken any positions. This week he did and that was NEWS. McClintock may have increased his support depending on what polls you compare but that has nothing to do with whether the press was lax in not reporting his positions when they already had. McClintock has been pushing the same stuff since before the recall was complete. Cant keep pushing the same stuff and expect it to be news.
