Ron Paul gets the Media Shaft
I’m not by any means a Ron Paul supporter. However, I do have a certain interest in him as a man of his ideals who is outisde the corrupting mainstream of American politics.
Yes, I do realize that he gets the shaft from the media, who make or break candidates regardless of the popular will, as far as inclusion in the debates and campaign coverage. Hopefully, eventually, more people will be able to break away from the “conventional” media and have access to multiple viewpoints from which they will actually be able to extract the truth.
I never, however, expected the media to completely exclude him from thier poll results! Dr. Paul came in second in the Nevade caucus, yet was not mentioned in at least two random samples of coverage. Shocking, absolutely shocking.
In short, The Media fails in its purpose of informing the American people.
