Nevada, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul don't exist to the Media

Nevada voters gave Mitt Romney first place and Ron Paul second place. And true to form, FOX and CNN practically dismissed the whole vote in Nevada.

Whether you like Romney and Paul or not, you have to wonder which candidate will be next to be manipulated by the media. Or are Bobby and I both wrong on this?

I noticed that also. I might have missed MSM discussing their wins, but on the few times I tuned in, MSM was gushing over McCain - the most liberal and least mentally stable candidate and MSM’s favorite.

Umm I thought I saw CNN & FNC cover nevada a bunch in the early afternoon yesterday.

MSM: “We get high....we get high....we get high....McCain.”

Who would you think came in second in NV?

Maybe we will have to define the word “cover”? There was NO discussion of Nevada and its vote other than to call Mitt Romney early (1% vote in I think) as the winner..skip over 2nd and 3rd spots and go straight to McCain and South Carolina.

Hey..maybe some of us were halucinating. But if they can do that to Nevada and Mitt and Paul..they can do it to YOUR candidate and state too.

[rineaux]

Ignore the candidate ping.

Romney is a MSM worst nightmare. They know that he would win against either hillary or obama.

[Edward Watson]

I agree. It was perplexing why Romney’s (and Ron Paul’s!) win in Nevada got so little media play - everything was McCain, McCain, McCain on both Fox and CNN. Romney got 51% of the Nevada vote for crying out loud and 67% of the Wyoming vote - something McCain can only dream about. Ron Paul’s second place finish was also notable.

Romney walked away with an additional 18 delegates, giving him a total of 72 delegates (compared to McCain’s 38 and Huckabee’s 29 - wasn’t that newsworthy?

It has become obvious to me my favorite news station, Fox News, is pushing for McCain and is doing its best to marginalize Romney. Very disappointing.

I’ll give you my opinion on this crap. Ron Paul should sue them. That is blatant. The media has been getting away with this because it is Ron Paul. Last night..it was Mitt and Ron. Who will it be next?

The media affectively shut out the conservative message of Tancredo, Hunter and Thompson in this race to date. If they don’t get pulled back soon...they WILL be picking your candidate.

My primary in Oregon won’t matter much...

I will vote, but I doubt it will have much impact except at the local level.

These front loaded open primary states are bull-shiite... Why don’t the Republicans refuse to seat delegates from any open primary state???

[stillafreemind]

It might interest you to know that I am for Fred Thompson. If he drops out..I am at a loss.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

FOX is the open border channel for limousine liberals with fancy Madison Avenue designer labels...

[rineaux]

All of the MSM, including FOX has been a part of “ignore the conservative” unless there is something negative to say/write about them.

How does a consistent 6th place finisher (for most part) be news worthy as Rudyjudy has?

What will Sean Hannity do if (fingers crossed) Rudy loses FL?

Time to turn the MSM off if you haven’t already.

[bannie]

Neither does Thompson.

[ken21]

that’d steal hillary’s fire.

say, if anyone on this forum thinks the “dinosaur media” is

dying or dead, they’re nuts!

They push McLame and Huckabust because they're the weakest Rep candidates.

What will Sean Hannity do if (fingers crossed) Rudy loses FL? ( Hannity is pathetic. He is as elitess as Fred and Brit..that being said..at the rate conservatives are being eliminated..Hillary Clinton will end up looking more conservative than the last republican standing.

Time to turn the MSM off if you haven’t already ( Turning the MSM is fine..but it sure does not help the candidates or conservatives to be “ignorant” of what the media is trying to pull.)

I totally agree about the MSM (which includes Fox) and their one-sided coverage. You would think there's only a Democrat primary going on. I hate when they choose their annointed ones, which never include any conservative.

I've totally turned off the TV news lately and catch up via the internet where I can just get the info and not the bias. Fox is a big disappointment.
