candidates and politicians often cultivate and depend on the media to get their message to voters through photo opportunities and other media events. As officeholders, however, they must defend their actions and record against an investigative press that is dedicated to informing the people.

Candidates and politicians often cultivate and depend on the media to get their votes. Someone is going to tell you what you want to hear to get you to agree with them or believe in their cause.
