We may long for the days when folks would ponder and seriously debate the issues in the public square, but this is not the America we live in today.我们可能会长期为天，当人们将思考和认真的辩论的问题，在市民广场，但是这是不是美国我们生活在今天。 Today's American is influenced by media coverage.今天的美国是影响媒体的报道。 And the reason why the media does not cover our candidates is simple: because we don't provide the media with the two things they care about most: dynamic energy and entertainment.和原因，媒体并不包括我们的候选人很简单：因为我们不提供媒体与两件事，他们最关心的：动态能源和娱乐。 It's simple economics.它的特点是简便经济。 Boring television means fewer eyeballs watching the screen; and fewer eyeballs watching the screen hurts the media's bottom line.沉闷的电视手段少，眼球观看屏幕;少，眼球观看屏幕伤害了媒体的底线。 If we are boring, we don't get coverage.如果我们沉闷的，我们并没有得到报道。
