The media can go screw themselves
Oh, so they don't want to be contacted? Don't want to hear from their viewers? Don't want to know the opinions on the street?

They remind me of celebrities who spend years trying to become famous and then cry that the paparazzi are after them. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED. You wanted to be famous, you wanted people to be fascinated with you - you got your wish and this is part of the territory.

The media figures wanted to be a voice in American politics - they wanted to be opinion leaders - well, you are. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED. Being contacted is part of the territory.

These freakin people are getting on my nerves with their prima donna "don't contact me it's annoying" crapola.

Just had to get that off my chest.

1. They'll find that there are many more Democrats/progressives
in the country, and they've shown that "working the refs" is the only way to get balanced coverage.

ergo, quit whimping and whining about being worked. You are the refs, and you've shown that you are partial - stop being so partisan, and we'll quit working you.
