IMO, if this was a Tea Party event, it would have cable news coverage. Not necessarily because of the politics involved, but the Tea Party has wealthy well-connected donors behind it. In this situation, media creates a perception bias wherein monied positions are legitimized long before unfunded ones are. The left might do well to create a crowd-sourced kickstarter-like fund that put money behind PR to publicize positions that benefit groups of people, as opposed to those that serve (and can be funded by) select interests.
