And why do you think this is the case? If there is no coverage of the libertarian movement in mainstream media, I see this as being proof that the mainstream media does not feel that it can profit off of covering such issues because there is not enough demand for them. If it were true that Americans were largely demanding these things then the media corporations (assuming their goal is to maxamize profit, which it should be) would have large incentive to cover them. In a competitive market, they wouldn't let something that is highly demanded go ignored.
Also, I didn't mean to imply that Americans don't care about
anything. I think Americans do care about politics. However, I think they care more about the people than the issues in which they're supporting.
