When media outlets begin serving as pre-primary filters, they are inserting themselves between the people and the way in which candidates are chosen. They are establishing a role to which they are not entitled
At the same time, when any medium decides who will or will not be heard, it is doing a great disservice to its viewers, its readers and its listeners. They are serving to censor discussion in a manner that discourages political debate, breeds public distrust and contributes to growing cynicism.
