"The media" can also be pretty favorable in practically any set of loosely held beliefs you want to cobble together into a campaign. You'll find some platform willing to give you a mic to espouse the ideology with a nudge, nudge, wink, wink to working closer together once you accumulate power. I'm skeptical that tying politics and wealth in any form leads to a good outcome.

If you also have ordinary human desires, like not having a constant mob of haters saying horrible things to you and your family, then the media is not great. In other words, the media filters out most normal people from politics by the sheer horrribleness of the process.
