Media Blackout of Ron Paul

Ron Paul was snubbed during the last presidential campaign season by being shut out of debates and marginalized by the media. This is still going on, and in this clip Jon Stewart does a great job pointing it out.

I like Jon Stewart because he exposes the hypocrisy on both sides equally, using humor to inform and get across some good points.

I gotta give Stewart some credit for this.

 

your vid don't work

 

hey buddy

Those who control the televission programs and main newspapers exert a tremendous influence over society. They can subtly alter peoples opinions and values.

Most people know absolutely nothing about the world and politics outside of what they have been told by the media.

I sometimes wonder if there even is a real Democrat or Republican party. For all I know, the USA is not even really a free republic. Suppose someone discovered that votes were being discarded, how would they let everyone else know if the media was complicit in the fraud? Would large local papers be afraid to publish the truth for fear of being sued or blacklisted by the powerful corporations?

All I am saying is that is you are using, for example, FOX news and The Economist as your only source of political information, you are completely vulnerable to being manipulated by propaganda. (many conservatives regard FOX news as a desceptive economic liberal controlled program designed to trick conservatives)

 

Next Republican debate:

September 7th, 2011 8pm EST on MSNBC and CNBC
Location: Reagan Library in Simi Valley, CA
Sponsor: Reagan Library, NBC News and Politico
Participants: Perry, Paul, Huntsman, Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, Bachmann, Cain

 

SPAM.

There is no proof of a media Blackout against Ron Paul.

Thread after thread of the same Sheep POO...

When was the last time you saw ROMNEY on any Media ?

Stop Spamming and Crying FOUL every other day.

It demeans the process and implicates the character of the politician you back.

If he is worthy it will PASS.
UNTIL then LET IT GO..Champion his executive experience..his legislation..his budgets and his job creation legislation of 22 years.

THE ANTI establishment bawling is getting old..

 

You didn't watch the video did you?

 

I prefer to get my information from Louis Farrakhan and Rush Limbaugh. They are much more neutral than John Stewart.

 

He didn't do much other than narrate in his usual smartassed way and showed some videos. The video clips speak for themselves. There are plenty of other videos out there on the same topic.

I prefer to receive information from several sources..read and see intent..then form an intelligent opinion.
thread after thread about the media bashing Paul..or poor Paul this and that..always the same intent..deflect attention away from his liabilities..his weaknesses..his policies..
Make him the victim..

It didn't work the last time..or the time before..and now the same tactic..
no different than Obama using the poor race card..

 

I agree with the concept and applaud John Stewart for raising awareness.

 

I should have realized that

 

I've seen Ron Paul on several news networks , most of it on prime time , so to call it a media blackout is a bit too much. . .

Ron Paul has the same problem all Independents have , they just don't have the deep pockets for a national staff ...

Maybe someday we can get that changed . . . it needs to be changed , and right soon ...

thanks to the new campaign laws that Potus Lil Bush slipped in his last days in office , a corporation can contribute any amount of money to a presidential candidate and it's all legal , it's a done deal ..

 

Good post luna lady,

The daily show is one of the best references for real information. Jon Stewart asks questions the propaganda broadcast media is afraid to ask, and the spin on Daily Show is better also. Truthfull and funny at the same time.

 

Raising awareness ?
That would be like playing The Beatles on today's rock station..

Paul Isn't NEWS..and his message is not news..and his campaign plan is not news..so why should he be mentioned at all ?

Paul did NOTHING in his political career to create JOBS..lower unemployment..end wars..stop GETMO..stop immigration abuse..
He is anti establishment, always popular never the majority.

When he IS news worthy he will be NEWS,
and for the record I HATED "The long and windy Road " by the Beatles THEN..and now.
I dont need some talking head to raise my awareness.

Id rather watch GOLF.

 

I guess his pristine voting record, his voice/raising awareness on subjects, proposing bills to eliminate the problems, a Pro-Constitution Congressman and not a Busy body in the House when it comes to trying to interfere with peoples private life... I guess you expect him to somehow be granted Unconditional Power over the United States and create these mystical "jobs". Sorry maybe you forgot the job of the US Government is to promote a land for growth... not create the Growth itself.

The entire situation concerning the Media Blackout was concerning the Straw Poll in Iowa where he came within .9% of the vote and no one even bothered to have him on the Morning Shows. I know the Iowa Straw Poll doesn't matter to you because Romney lost by a shiiiiiit ton but, lets just leave out that small tidbit as to why you believe it doesn't matter.

Why aren't you busy licking your Status Quo Imperialist Romney's shoes right now? Go go go!

 

I don't know what your actual problem is with Ron Paul, but it's obvious that you don't know what you're talking about.

Do I need to do your research for you, or would you like to go get your facts straight first?

This is one of my problem I have with Ron Paul. That and his bring the troops home and protect the border. I think we need more immigrants, not less. We need a stream line path to citizenship to bring immigrants outa the black market and into the system.

 

It's not bring the troops home so they can protect the border. It's bring the troops home so we can stop wasting money and lives and getting ourselves mired in these international diplomatic messes.

As for the article, no candidate can do much abut those that support them. Ron Paul is not racist.

My problems with Paul are.

1. YOU know nothing of his executive policies other than..It's against the Constitution
Which didn't work for BUSH or Obama did it ?
2. His spending polices do NOT equal his constitutional BS, FACT..or do I need to teach you how to read ?
3. He had ABSOLUTELY ZERO power in congress after all these years..I wonder why,actually I know why. He was another windbag. NOTHING MORE.
4. He is FROM TEXAS..ran or switched partys just like another guy FROM TEXAS.
5. His stance on IRAN is just DANGEROUS but you clowns NEVER answer about that..only on his constitutional stands which are dangerous as well.

Just like Obama..congressmen who have NO executive or BUSINESS LEADERSHIP can only throw rocks at every body else...
who misleads the public on how he will lead. WE have NO time to train another idiotic 1 position ol fart ..we NEED proven experience right NOW..
Grand position speeches might work for you all down south..

Every where else we like results..Plain and simple..

and Paul cannot show those..
He can only talk..talk is cheap. Ask Obama.

 

Government doesn't create jobs, the private sector does. Do you expect him to wave a wand?

He's written six books on the topic of economics (guess who was talking about this economic mess before it even happened?), and is a foe of job killing regulations and practices. You think he's not capable of creating Jobs?

He's sponsored bills to prevent war without congressional approval, he's tried to rid of the selective service act and the possibility of the draft. And unless you are deaf and blind, you'd clearly see that he opposes our war policy. He's fought for the closure of Gitmo.

Ever heard of FAIR? Guess who has a %100 rating with them? RP is dead on with the immigration issue. He's voted yes to: reporting illegals receiving medical treatment, border fence and surveillance, supported the minutemen via voting in their favor, and sponsored a bill preventing student visas from terrorist nations. He fully opposes amnesty and the conditions which draw illegal immigrants here.

Anything else I can clear up for ya?

 

6 books on a subject he never went to college for..great you buy it..along with swamp land near New Orleans..I here that might be a good investment..
Show us his economic training..
His college transcripts..if they had any when the constitution was written...or when the dinosaurs roamed..

Did he stay at the holiday inn last week and become a genius ?

He has no money because he cant raise any.
Blame Bush..or the establishment..anybody but the man himself.

Pristine voting record?
Voting against the Ryan plan.. against many of the republican bills ?

he is NOT a Republican.

RUN somewhere else...maybe with..
McCain..or Perry..or Palin

the retread ..retard ticket.
and give the election away ...
