I have found the traditional

I have found the traditional media sources very unsatisfactory in terms of providing information about _all_ the candidates; it seems that the TV, radio, and print media outlets have chosen for us the "top 3" candidates, and have ignored the rest, even though some of the "second tier" candidates have a great deal of intelligence and experience in today's important issues. The debates have been almost worthless, in terms of candidates' ability to actually get their ideas and plans out there. I have essentially turned to the Internet almost exclusively for in-depth coverage and exploration of the candidates and their positions.
