GOP is the abbreviation for the Republican Party (it stands for Grand Old Party). Republicans are often newsworthy, because they have important senators and representatives who make news or say controversial things: among the recent examples of Republicans who have gotten extensive media coverage are former governor of Alaska and frequent pundit Sarah Palin, current Senator from Texas Ted Cruz, John Boehner (Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives), congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Sometimes, the president is a Republican (former President Bush, for example) and the media always cover what the president is saying and doing. Republicans dominate talk radio, they dominate Fox News, and they dominate the Tea Party, all of which guarantees the GOP receives a lot of media coverage.
