So Ben Carson is taking a different tack.

While all candidates use the media as their B, as needed, most have already shmoozed their way into the sycophantic journalists' hearts. The media already wants the other candidates to like them. Their (the journalists) motivations are, therefore, mixed to some degree.

In Ben's case, that is not the case. They don't really like him so they don't really care about lost 'access'. They'll most likely focus significant amounts of energy directly towards destroying him.

So this is a different dynamic, and will be an interesting test case for the universe of benefits or dangers that can come via attacking "the media".
