I posted several threads about this when it happened. Many DEMS have a hard time, but its not impossible- The top, star Democrats are on all the time. The "stars" have access, and have yet to claim that they are being denied access.

CNN President Jonathan Klein explained that Democrats have a hard time getting booked because they don't get "angry" enough to excite the viewers. He told Charlie Rose, " don't get too worked up about anything. And they're pretty morally relativistic. And so, you know, they allow for a lot of that stuff."

Is that fair? Absolutely not. But, unless the rules of the game are changed, that's the reality progressives are facing. They can't change the rules unless they gain power, and they won't gain power until they work their way into the media.

Instead of huffing and puffing about how unfair it was that the media didn't take the time to learn the nuances of John Kerry's convoluted thinking like, "voting for the $87 billion , before I voted against it," or that disingenuous conservatives like Ann Coulter get too much air time, Democrats need to reinvent themselves.
