The Press: Enemy of the People

Seems like many of the wire services and major newspapers are continuing to ignore Ron Paul. If they were really in the business of informing people, wouldn't the newspapers be continually printing articles about all of the contenders and their positions, and seeking clarification from them when necessary? (Especially with the changes in the primaries schedule, isn't this the kind of public service we need?) Shouldn't they be trying to foster the "electoral process" rather than impeding it? Wouldn't they be doing the American people a service by getting experts and intellectuals to pose questions for the various candidates, and to foster some kind of discussionof the issues? Then again, maybe they are in the pocket of the oligarchy...
