People need information on minor-party candidates

Why does the media not give equal time to the "other" candidates for president?

So many Americans are really not very happy with either the Democratic or Republican candidate yet the media doesn't give equal time/press to the other candidates. Understandably they cannot afford to buy airtime since they do not get the backing from wealthy contributors and, therefore, most people are not even aware of the others who will be on the ballot until they actually go to vote.

Is this really the American way?

Does the media condone this? It would certainly seem so since there is never any mention of the others who are running yet cannot afford to make the public aware of their agendas.

It certainly seems American elections are bought and not necessarily earned.
