Document Summary
They love it because it"s the only way for them to get exposure. Not just mainstream media; people on the left and people on the right hate media. E. g. sarah palin hated the media but now she works for the media. Media has to turn product every single day. Newspapers have to get news out every single day. Politicians feed the beast: they need reporters need news so they feed them news. Each year, the average american adult spends 1824 hours at work, 2737 hours sleeping, 3256 hours exposed to the media in a year. Most people"s knowledge of politics comes from the media. Back then, people read newspapers to get news; now, people read news online. Back then, us national media were: nbc, cbs, abc, new york times, washington. Now: daily beast, daily kos (some traditional don"t exist) E. g. media doesn"t actually go to city hall to watch proceedings; now it"s bloggers.
