Apparently they've decided to start treating Dr. Ron Paul as though he doesn't exist a bit earlier in the election cycle than they did 4 years ago. Why? Well, my guess is because if he won, his policies and ideas might slow down or stop the 'gravy train' they're riding on. Four years ago most news stories about Ron Paul began by stating that he 'has no chance of winning'. So of course, people who watch the t.v. news or read news stories begin to get that message (subliminal?), and when you talk to them about Dr. Paul they say things like 'I like him and I'd vote for him, but he has no chance of winning...'
In other words, they're basically saying 'I'm going to let the mainstream news organizations decide who can win and who I should vote for...' It's pathetic is what it is. My advise is: Vote for the best candidate! The lesser of 2 evils is still evil. And it wouldn't be the first time the 'experts' got it wrong.
I'll finish that rant for now, I wanted to share a link to a good story, as well as embed a video by Jon Stewart on this very topic. This sums up my feeling as well, from the article where I found this video: Jon Stewart continues to be my favorite liberal. Not because I like liberals—but because I respect honesty and integrity.
I learned a couple of things from this article by Doug Wead titled Ron Paul's Iowa success and the media cover up. Here's a paragraph, but do check out the whole article. It's not terribly long.
To give you an idea of how staggering Paul’s victory was, and why the national media risks a total disconnect with its readers and viewers in their effort to ignore it, he won twice as many votes as Tim Pawlenty and almost as many votes as Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, New Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman combined.I would think that would be quite news-worthy, but it was apparently ignored by the national media.
The Daily Show video below is just over 4 minutes.
