Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul tells me it has canceled the candidate's upcoming appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" -- something the show's host and producer are currently sounding the alarm about on Twitter.

He’s playing offense with Obama and BP and rightly so.
The MSM will take the molehill of ‘he’s a racist’ and attempt to create a mountain. Anything to distract from the ineptitude of their Scarecrow In Chief.
Paul to NBC - Go play with yourself.
Indeed. There is no downside for our side dissing the state run media.
They pulled similar stunts and much worse with Palin.
Sigh.
What evil meida we have.
Good. He’s learning.
Good. Because they will try and destroy him between now and November. But they can do that on their own too, so he needs to be on the offensive.
The comments to the article are brutal. Tells me Rand did the right thing.
Just remember, if Paul is smart, he’s what he’ll say:
“well, it seems it’s ok for Obama to tell you guys and gals (MSM) to go screw yourselves, too”, and I’m not apparently as important as him...I’m just following what the leader does”
Hey Rand, welcome to the Palinville Horror!
Paul certainly can represent Kentucky without having to go on any of those shows. It’s not like he needs that type of exposure; this is a good decision.
“...he told them where to go. And frankly, it’s about damn time a Republican did.”
Should be SOP for any non-Rat politician.
F Y MSM!!!
Good for him.
Let's really make the MSM blow a fuse:
Set-up a Rand Paul fundraiser with Sarah Palin.
I predict no less than four known names in the MSM having a stroke and dieing.
He must scare the hell out of them and that’s a good thing.
Be cool if he showed up to MTP with a real WWII issue flame thrower.
The newsmedia is kept alive by people watching TV and paying for cable and sat TV.
People would rather be serfs than drop TV and yes TV does have that much power.
Sarah will be on Fox News Sunday this week.
Jesse Helms was known for refusing to speak with national media. He would grant interviews only to local N. Carolina press.
There is no reason that a candidate for office in KY should be hitting the national media unless they’re (a) media whore or (b) looking to run for president
