Why go on tv and meet hostility when you have the NYT and CNN on your side setting the agenda?
All the remaining newspapers in the country have been downsized to the point where they don't have national correspondents. The NYT pretty much has a monopoly on the media.
If you've ever read it (which most people won't on principle) you'll note that national television networks pick up their stories, send out a video crew and a reporter and do a tv news version of the same story one-two days later.
