I just finished reading a great piece on the Media Elite’s attempts to keep Ron Paul hidden from Americans, and how ABC dismissed Ron Paul and censored comments about them, until the point they finally added Ron Paul to their list of candidates, but in a dismissive way. (Yahoo, after much time finally added Ron Paul to their list of candidates, earlier they had other less likely candidates listed.) Talking about ABC’s response to having to add Ron Paul, Jim Capo, author of the article points out:
There is one glaring fallacy of logic in the current ABC argument. There were almost 80,000 votes cast in the MSNBC poll just BEFORE the first televised debate. In that polling, the results came out just as the MSM media told us they should. McCain, Romney and Gulliani the leaders, Paul, Tancredo, Hunter and others just blips.
What ABC is trying to say now, however, is that those who cast these 80,000 votes suddenly evaporated and were mysteriously replaced by those coaxed on by a handful of Paul supporters and Internet savvy bloggers. (It is no shock that with this kind of reasoning a Digg post two days ago on the ABC news story already has 4,000 “diggs.”)
Let me offer a totally different made-up explanation for ABC that could have sold better. Most McCain, Romney and Giuliani supporters don’t pay attention to MSNBC and ABC. They are all over at Fox News being marketed information they already agree with. The MSNBC and ABC polls were driven by Democratic and unaffiliated voting types who simply discovered that Paul was the GOP candidate most like them. And, it certainly didn’t hurt that the questions and commentary in the MSNBC debate were moderated by a “liberal.”
Be sure to check out the full article for more details.
It’s not just those who want a constitutional government, but some on the left have also noticed the media blackout of Ron Paul. Need further proof, Ron Paul is a second-tier candidate, who if it wasn’t for the media blackout, would probably be a top tier candidate, yet the Associated Press ignores him in their article on second-tier candidates.
