There is. The Libertarian party is the largest third party in the nation but you'd never know based on the media attention they're given. They hold more public offices than any third party in the nation - including high-ranking positions in state government - but you'd never know based on the media attention they get. In my opinion this is because they are also the party with the most appealing platform (of the third parties) and therefore they pose a REAL danger if their message gets out. We can debate all day about whther the media is controlled by liberals or conservatives, but one thing is certain - it's controlled by one of the two (or both) and neither of them wants a REAL third party to start getting any attention.
