Why does CPAC and the Value Voters Summit get so much MSM coverage

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

But the Liberal counterparts (if there are any) don’t?

1. For the same reason that flaming multicar accidents at rush hour do . . . .

When flames, fuel, speed and stupidity intersect with fatal results, it's always the lead story.

2. Cable news has always pushed the right wing narrative.

Even to the point of picking what words to use. The Bill that just passed the House last night is "The Rescue Bill." Cable news anchors all call it the Relief Bill.

3. The Liberal Media The Liberal Media The Liberal Media

4. It's like your local 6 o'clock news.. blood and fires and mayhem leads.... and sells...

Who wants to see newborn baby goats when you can look at dead people in a 12 car pile-up.

5. WTF does CPAC get so many posts on DU? nt

[marmar]

7. This.

6. Why doesn't "the Left" have a counterpart?

Good question. Is it only about the $$$$?

[Baked Potato]

8. They roll out golden statues. They spout bizarre nonsense.

And the MSM eats it up.

Democrats could do the same for effect, but it would be repulsive to voters.

We don’t have a crazy base that needs constant attention or else they will kill us.

9. liberal counterparts lolololol nt

10. If Biden would simply drop his trousers every time he made a speech he'd get more coverage.

11. Honestly, I would prefer to see more MSM coverage of ComicCon

Its has about the same amount of realism as CPAC

[nuxvomica]

12. same reason the sideshow was so popular in circuses

Why watch the trapeze artists, who have trained for years to defy death with grace and beauty, when you can see the freak show and wonder at nature's greatest mistakes?
