Will have to read the article by Tall Horse.

Wow, a Thompson supporter giving encouragement to RP. A first. LOL.

Thanks.

[stillafreemind]

I agree with your rant. If republican voters let the media win this one..they will do it even more blatantly next time around.

You are right..if people are going to sit back and do nothing..the country is going to reap the consequences.

"Yes, I’m a Ron Paul supporter. I’ll write his name in at the General Election."

Here's another.

[stillafreemind]

Yeah, Tall Horse has written quite a bit about Ron Paul and sympathizes with how Ron Paul and his supporters have been wronged in this whole process.

Being a Thompson/Hunter supporter..I think Tall Horse feels their pain.

[restornu]

The headlines say McCain front runner (of what?)

[longtermmemmory]

The MSM (this includes Fox who are too busy orgasming over the democrat race) has a template the follow to the tee.

Replicans had “something” too, whatever.

[rineaux]

I’m a Paul, Hunter, Thompson supporter. Lets just make sure these guys have a voice at the RNC.

[incindiary]

It's worse than just ignoring him. I have heard numerous reports from people both in the US and overseas that the networks are outright lying about the Nevada results. They have been telling people that McCain came in second. One guy on another forum heard that on his local news, and he contacted them to correct them of their error, but the next time the results were mentioned they did the same thing and reported that McCain came in second.

Also, I've seen so many examples of news sites completely omitting Paul's name and picture from any results (while including Guiliani, who Paul keeps beating.)

I've known this for a while, but it has become increasingly obvious that the controlled press is doing everything they can to ensure that people don't know about Paul, and will not only ignore him but outright lie. They don't even seem to be hiding their bias anymore, it's so blatant. Unfortunately, unless people are on the internet a lot, they're not getting the truth and so they vote according to what the talking heads tell them.

[NYC Republican]

That’s what I keep saying to these childish posters... The MSM is more powerful and emboldened than ever. More biased too

[Mogollon]

And true to form, FOX and CNN practically dismissed the whole vote in Nevada.

I don't know what happened on CNN, but Fox News spent hours on Nevada and Mitt's win there.

I watch a lot of FNC. They are totally in the tank for McCain, at least their brass is. Their on-air reporters, some of them, do try to report fairly.

Overall the direction, the tone and tenor, the graphics, the enthusiasm of the political panel, etc. is pretty much all geared to pumping up McCain and dismissing other candidates by telling us what does and what does not matter: Which primaries matter and which don't, who has the momentum, selective hyping of polls, the face time and on-air questioning of guests....

It all shows that FNC's slogans have become BS lies - "Fair and Balanced" "We Report, You Decide" mean nothing when it comes to hyping McCain, Fox is relentless in beating the McCain drum.

I find myself watching the other channels more and more these days. Sorry, FNC I can and will make up my own mind.

[rineaux]

Agree.

I bet if you asked the average voter of the results yesterday in NV., they would tell you McCain came in second. Some may even say first. LOL.

It is better to keep us all divided as voters. If the Paul, Tancredo, Hunter and Thompson supporters, and to a degree Romney supportes united, I think millions of emails and phone calls, as Duchess47 writes in an earlier post, would be sent to ALL the MSM outlets calling them on this BS. IMHO.

[carenot]

until they return to the ideals of Ronald Reagan, Kirk, the young Goldwater and Buckley.

That would be Ron Paul.
But he can't win.

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

There are plenty of pictures of Paul smiling.

They had to choose that one???

[CJ Wolf]

rineaux: Thanks for the ping.

Let Freedom Ping!

BTW here is a decent job by the media: interviewing Ron Paul.

[takenoprisoner]

Outstanding interview. Thanks for sharing.

[gondramB]

>>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?<<

Its not so much dismissing Romney as it is that South Carolina happens on the same day and is considered much more important.

[Romneyfor President2008]

We are lucky the MSM isn’t claiming that Rudy is the frontrunner. LOL

[publiusF27]

It’s almost like that CNN screen shot you posted came from The Onion.
