The media are mute and hostile - in the face of that it is difficult - it is not a 'cop-out'.

That's a desperately weak defence DD. We know that the media aren't interested, so why do UKIP keep on doing the same thing and then complaining about it? It's absurd.
Where are the imaginative campaigns, the defence news commentary, the interviews with military personnel, the polls, the 'shock' revelations of hidden numbers etc.?
In other words, UKIP has done NOTHING news worthy, not a jot, and then complains that the media haven't reported it. UKIP haven't even bothered to promote it on their own website to their own members and other interested political types. I thought that Farage was elected because of his supposed media skills, but he doesn't seem to be employing them yet.
Dismal and unimaginative.
