If we had a party that was legitimately dedicated to environmental justice AND we had a political system that allowed minority parties to participate, then yeah, that would be a real threat and the media would be martialled against it.

But I just don't see how the media reaction to third parties matters. Non-ranked voting, non-proportional voting and the electoral college structurally forbid minor parties from being anything but a spoiler.
