Controlling how the media covers the presidential process would be un-American. Also letting a relatively small percent of the voting population decide who the next president will be is also un-American. Which is exactly what happened in the past when the small states of Iowa and New Hampshire, whose population is not representative of all of America, held their primaries well before the rest of the states.
