Publicity is given to those worthy of publicity. 

Putting a bunch of publicity behind a bad product, inferior product or a product the people don't want only hurts your credibility.

Sure, but publicity is given dependant on ability to sell and who it can be sold to. Not quality in itself. Sometimes that publicity is aided by mainstream media smelling a story - again not dependant on "quality".

Actually the ability to make sure those things are mentioned certaintly are a sign of quality when it comes to mainstream writing.  Your writing has to be able to inspire those things.

I mean how do you think people decide what books get the big backing?  Picking names out of a hat?
