...Greenfield's skewering of the press coverage of the 1980 presidential campaign comes in his new book, The Real Campaign.* Political reporting on television and in newspapers missed the point of the campaign, he says, and had little influence on the outcome: The victory of Ronald Reagan was a political victory, a party victory, a victory of more c o h e r e n t - - n o t necessarily correct, but more coherent--ideas, better e x p r e s s e d , more connected with t h e reality of their lives, as Americans saw it, than those of Reagan's principal opponents, a victory vastly aided by a b e t t e r - funded, better organized, more confident and united party . . . . The failure of the mainstream press, and especially telev i s i o n , to r e c o g n i z e t h e n a t u r e of t h i s campaign stemmed in l a r g e measure from the media's fascination with itself as a political force, and from its fundamental view t h a t p o l i t i c s is more image t h a n substance...
