DO JOURNALISTS TRY TO DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS?

0

I have posted here and here about how the primary system has operated to disenfranchise voters who do not live in New Hampshire and Iowa because the winning candidate is chosen before people in other states get to vote. I see that Mickey Kaus (on January 17) and John Ellis (on January 17, Item 4) have argued that journalists have an incentive to eliminate candidates quickly because coverage of each candidate is so expensive and that this is what they have done in the past.
