Don't worry, he is getting his chance. There is very little real possibility (short of his trying to do something very stupid) that he will lose the confidence of the house.
The problem with shunning the media is that the media really is our only source of information about what he is doing. If our only source for information is from carefully crafted missives from on high, that isn't going to wash for very long.
You starve the media beast from their usual sources (the scrum, the hallway outside caucus chambers, the ministers, the backbenchers, the bureaucrats, etc.) and they are going to have to dig deep and look elsewhere for their stories. Harper has to be prepared for the fact that when they find something it is more than likely going to be big (and even if it isn't they are going to play it up because they don't have much else to go on).
I think this approach is going to bite him in the ass in the long run.
