I listened with fascination to the Clinton Whitewater and Monicagate dramas. I despised W Coke Bush from the moment he was inaugurated. I was an avid listener to NPR for forever. But I never heard about Paul Wellstone until 2006 when my political activism was activated, and I started listening to Progressive Talk radio (Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Sam Seder, Cenk, Randi Rhodes). Everyone was gnashing their teeth about Paul Wellstone, and I was like, "Who's this Wellstone guy? NPR never mentioned him, never heard about him on PBS or the network news."
I've come to realize that the Corporate media did not appreciate Wellstone's populist message.
