At this point in the Republican race for the presidency, Texas Congressman Dr. Ron Paul has run into more of the lack of love for what the mainstream media has shown him. When Congressman Paul won or came in a close first in several of the Straw Polls, the media would focus on anything other than Paul’s wins, diminishing them and focusing on the cookie cutter candidates such as Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.
The same was seen when Paul won the California Straw Poll. Had Romney or Perry won it would have been headlines. However, the media shies away and focuses on any tidbit of news from the mainstream Republicans and it is backfiring. The mainstream can’t find detrimental things to say about Dr. Paul so instead they hunt like rabid dogs for any bit of scandalous info of the top players which in effect is rapidly causing them to be less than admirable. The Republican rank and file doesn’t appear to be as stupid and sheepish as has been in the past and are looking toward alternative choices which is sending shockwaves of turmoil to the regular engines of the election process because the press isn’t use to candidates that challenge the press themselves. Reporters like George Stephanopolous of ABC is the worst. His lack of objectivity is so blatant one might not want to trust ABC anymore.
However, surprisingly CBS’ team has outdistanced it’s brethren in covering Ron Paul fairly. What the mainstream media doesn’t realize is that their coverage is being scrutinized by the public who are now more aware of the rules of journalism as more people are blogging and reporting. This will end up as probably one of the biggest sweeps in journalism and ethics in over 30 years since the days of Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward.

It is Robert Upshur Woodward, not George Woodward. How did you wind up with George?
In fact, the Main Stream Media has no love for American citizens either, since the way they report stories is as if everything is in a vacuum. As if no one is affected by the crap. As if there are no citizens effected by outsourcing, insourcing, illegal immigration, one million people allowed to enter LEGALLY!!!, and all the while they talk about JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How much respect is this for your average citizen?????????????? I don’t even listen to their crap any longer. Taking a nice relaxing break on the toilet is more beneficial then listening to CBS,NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX, etc.etc. The internet is where the truth is and that is why they want to continually censor it.
Here’s one thing I am doing…
I’ve been trying to get this word out directly to the stations & newspapers etc, at least those affiliated with NBC (owned now by Comcast) etc:
-* begin *-
You so-called “news” people need to do more research in the 2012 Presidential Candidates.
Please study this graph, it’s from your parent network NBC:
[http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/09/07/7658608-who-do-you-think-won-the-republican-debate-at-the-reagan-library]
Stop giving so-much time to the other candidates.
Start covering Dr Ron Paul with EQUAL TIME
in the VERY SAME PROGRAMS when you-all cover the other candidates.
Stop covering this up.
Obviously We The People like Dr Paul.
Stop covering this up.
The American people are tired of the puppet show.
Stop covering this up.
Immediately.
[I imagine if your severe mis-balanced coverage continues, this could be relevant for a complaint filed to the FCC about your station's actions etc. Yes I am very personally adamantly serious about this. Be sure to tell your parent network NBC about this, too.]
Thank you.

Yes I really sent that verbatimly to our local NBC affil; and I really am going to try pursuing the FCC complaint, too, if it comes to that… Time to get active is ‘now’ before it is too late.
I was amazed a few years back that so few fellow Aussies had heard of Ron Paul, and what little they had seen in Mainstream Media was that he appeared to be a bumbling fool and easily discarded. Having followed quite a few actual interviews and statements of Ron Paul thanks to the very informative rense.com news website, I’ve always found him extremely articulate, polite and intelligent, with fair-dinkum answers and practical solutions to complex problems. It seems no-one likes a messiah to mess with the boys club, but no-one can deny a bright light in a dark place like the politics of America.
the same people (i say that lightly) that make guns,bombs,ships,aircraft etc., own the media! paul would put these warmungers out of business. we the people, is just a joke, a phrase thats said some times. we the people don’t want war but we get it anyway. we the people want our boarders protected we don’t get that either! government is of the corporation not of the people. sold to highest bidder. anyone with half a brain can see it,read it live it!
I smell a rat. Ron Paul’s policies fly in the faces of the most powerful beings on this planet. Historically, these people play in one of two possible ways. The successful candidate sings the song the public wish to hear but behind the scenes is puppeteered to do the bidding of his masters. If the candidate looks like he will win the hearts and minds of the public and will not bow down to the elites he is considered a menace and has to be assassinated. Sooo, Dr Paul should have been targeted by a sniper’s rifle long ago but he hasn’t which begs the question of whether he is doing precisely what Obama did to get elected? The fact that MSM don’t want to cover him could all too easily be a part of the plot to manipulate our minds. Why do we even want ONE person to have all that power? That’s not a democracy, it’s a dictatorship! Let the people govern themselves as they did in Libya.
FACT : the Jew-controlled MSM is a gatekeeper for the Zionist Jews who control the US Government.
Ron Paul is the only person to get us out of this mess. he is the greatest man,smartest man,honest man that i have ever heard speak on the tv and internet,
. alll the other ass holes are dishonest,greedy.cut throt cutters.Just watch Mr. Ron Paul do his stuff pretty soon. it has been a long time since we the people voted in a great MAN. GO GO RON PAUL..
please excuse spelling.
