A. The media can only cover those viewed as legitimate contenders because there are often dozens of candidates in the early stages of the election.

For example, early in the most recent US election there were so many Democratic, Republican, and Third Party candidates it would be really hard to cover each ones, so they usually cover the ones that are actual contenders for the nominee
