Ron Paul and How the Media Pick the Candidates--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whatever you think of Ron Paul, you have to admit that the media are notoriously biased against him. The Fox News Channel unfairly excluded him from its January 6 debate, while MSNBC and CNN tried to keep him from speaking for any significant length of time during their January 24 and January 30 debates. This is a candidate, we must recall, who placed second in the Republican Nevada caucuses on January 19, beating John McCain.

Interestingly, every time the media do something to undercut Ron Paul, his supporters react by sending more money to his campaign. The result is that the Los Angeles Times and other media are reporting that Ron Paul was the most successful fundraiser among the Republican presidential candidates in the last three months of 2007. Paul brought in $19.7 million—compared to $9.9 million for Mitt Romney, $6.8 million for John McCain, and $6.6 million for Mike Huckabee.

Anyone who watched the Republican debate on CNN could not have helped notice how the questions went down the line, from Mitt Romney to John McCain, and then skipped over Ron Paul. This happened on several occasions. Eventually, the other candidate on the stage, Mike Huckabee, got so disgusted that he spoke up in protest, wondering why the “spigotâ€

Do not think it was because fox news thought he was to ""liberal"alan keyes was denied in the past and he is anythig but liberal

The only ones Fox news has been "kind" to has been
McCain and Huck

I'd like to see massive investigations into tampering with the election process

There was a Presidential debate on MTV this evening.

Hillary,Obama,Ron Paul & Huckabee.

Romney & McCain were No Shows.

The debates can be viewed on Utube and the report is they let the audience ask the questions and the candidates were allowed to speak without time limits.

Ron Paul actually was permitted to speak at length.

Interesting that none of us had a heads up on this one

I watched it and I didn't even know what channel MTV was on.

Someone gave the link to the interactive Internet site also. So I had both on.

Questions keep changing while the candidate was speaking and you got to vote on what they were saying.

I have to tell you Ron Paul did the best. He won every one of the polls and was excellent speaking, with a huge smile on his face and very relaxed looking. Not at all like he looks on the alphabet channel debates.

I posted a write-up about it.

Hillery did the worst, in fact they hated her.

Where did you post your write-up about the debate Darlene ?

I ask because I would like to read it.

USPatriot,

Here you go.
