Behind the scenes media discuss how to shut Paul out (Ron Paul, vote)

[emilybh]

This is a great article that tells what orders the various reporters were given in Iowa and how they strategized to shut him out.


Knowing that the race was tight, Chris Wallace announced on Friday that regardless of what happened at the straw poll, his Sunday guest would be Michele Bachmann. It was apparent that Fox News had decided against the Ron Paul candidacy and was willing to risk the scorn of violating its own motto “fair and balanced” to achieve its ends.

Ron Paul supporters should not panic at this media snobbery. Ronald Reagan won in a landslide in 1980, in spite of unanimous and vitriolic attacks from the media. He was portrayed as racist, a warmonger and an extremist.

Ron Paul....yawn.

I think the mass media has always tried to shut out anyone whom is not a democrat.

There are a lot of things I like about Ron Paul, however, I feel he is a little too liberal to vote for. Just my feelings.

Thanks for the post,
Glad to see some are concerned about the antics of our irresponsible media and concerned about truth.
