It seems like ALL the media is engaged in a conspiracy to keep Ron Paul from being elected. Just the latest in a series of efforts. 'Based on what is known today, the Republican nominee for President is almost certainly one of the following, in alphabetical order: Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) or former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.). These three individuals solely constitute the first tier." http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/08/15/clarity-comes-to-2012-campaign/
That has gone on forever. Even in 2007 they ignored him and laughed at him. Now look at the USA 3.5 years later. The country is further in debt, unemployment is higher, the government is bigger, three separate stimulus/job type bills did not help turn the economy around, and the wars are still going with obomba trying to start more. Oh, and he never really created any private sector jobs, but we did lose more jobs to outsourcing. Not that this is strictly an obummer/democrat thing because the outsourcing and closing of our manufacturing plants has been going on for decades, even when repubs were president. More middle class and lower class citizens are screwed, government employees are doing just fine though, defense contractors are raking in the dough, banks got bail outs from their personal printing machines thanks to bernanke and geithner, and the mainstream media are all still leading the sheep over the cliff to keep the status quo/ponzi scheme going. Really, look at any person that works in the mainstream media. They make a lot of money. From low level local stations to the high level national stations. As long as they keep the sheep fighting back and forth about republican this, democrat that, the USA will never solve it's problems. My girlfriend worked for fox about ten-twelve years ago, in her twenties she made about 175k/year. She realized that she couldn't do it anymore when she had heard enough dirt on Rupert Murdoch and realized how dirty and back stabbing people in the company were. She made a few good friends but she eventually quit. Her boss and the rest of the higher ups all made at least, LEAST, 350k/year. Most of the people she worked with live in houses that cost at least a million dollars. Their trophy wives all have a giant rock on their finger, have the most expensive brand name clothes, drive the top of the line, Benz, BMW, or Audi, travel whenever they want to wherever they want and stay in the nicest resorts, eat at the finest restaurants, etc. Look at the suits the media people wear, men and women, most of their wardrobes cost more than the average Americans financed car. The sheep in this nation have been played all thanks to an invention called the television. They stare into it and believe whatever they see. Oh yeah we killed Osama bin laden. No proof shown though. JFK has been shot, and here's the man who did it * pan to Oswald*, and then lock up the files for 50 years. Put Paris Hilton front and center as a distraction, she got a new pair of shoes and just had a bowel movement. Pathetic. There are very few people in mainstream media who go against what they are told, and eventually they are fired, or they resign. Look at all the dooshbags on fox that completely ignored Ron Pauls success in the straw poll last weekend. Those (*)(*)(*)(*)wads deserve Iran to develop a nuke and drop it on them. The only guy in the mainstream media to call out those losers was Jon Stewart. See the video here. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf80sWs9WdE&sns=em"]JON STEWART CALLS OUT MSM DISCONNECT FROM RON PAUL! - YouTube[/ame] There is a reason why they ignore him. Because they are told to ignore him. They ignore him because Rupert Murdoch is friends with all the bankers and globalists who finance and support the wars. If Ron Paul ends the wars, the bankers, the military industrial complex, and their defense contractor butt buddies stand to lose a lot of money. They will put up a fight. Even if Paul legitimately won the election next year, they would devise some kind of scheme and the media would help cover it up and publish/broadcast lies and omissions just like they did in 2007 and last weekend. That or the bankers will finally kill the dollar and blame Paul, then introduce the amero or the next fiat currency and it will be check mate for the USA. This country is (*)(*)(*)(*)ed, we will end up like the Romans and every other fallen empire because of greed, arrogance, and the people's lack of ability to turn the tv off and think for themselves.
I completely agree with your assessment. There is no difference in the media, just as there is no difference in the parties in power. It's more akin to pro wrestling than anything. It's all designed to get people worked up, while the 'adversaries' go out for a beer together, laughing at us along the way. I would disagree only with your saying that Jon Stewart is mainstream. Popular for sure, but not mainstream. Another popular, but not mainstream guy that supports Ron Paul is Bill Maher. The one 'mainstream' guy I've seen exposing this fraud is Anderson Cooper at CNN. Now, he's far from a conservative, but he exposed his own co-workers fraud in reporting the New Hampshire debate results. Here's the video of that...

Woogs, great videos, thanks for posting them. That woman who made the ridicules has obviously only got to where she is in life because of how she looks and her lack of a moral compass. I bet she really "worked" her way there. Americans need to realize who their real enemies are. The real enemies to liberty are, the bankers, congressmen, and the mainstream media. I commend bill maher also on calling out the sell out media goons.
Foxsnews & Bill O'Liely (Middle of the Road Media Mogul) only truely marginalize (Blacklist) Michael Savage for the most part ...
@ Stupidsheep...here's a link to the same video you posted with better audio. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2011/08/jon-stewart-ron-paul/41311/
Ron Paul has as much a chance of wining the election as you do the lottery. Bachmann the same. IOWA IS A NATIONAL JOKE. Straw votes for straw people. Enjoy the 15 minutes of 2nd place victory.
All political opinions aside you guys have to admit the media bias against this guy is ridicules.

I always like Ron Pual but now I'm convinced that voting for him is the ONLY asnwer to sticking it to the establishment.
well yeah,the american people wont take their country back and paul is not a member of the CFR which you have to be to get elected so of course he does not have a prayer.
Instead of posting on this thread here since it is the same topic,thought I would bring this thread over here so we can discuss what they talked about on that thread here on THIS thread. http://www.politicalforum.com/elections-campaigns/202847-media-bias-against-ron-paul.html
Yeah if th republican candidate isn't Ron I will be writing him in. Sick of the media bias and the leaders of the republican party's refusal to support him much at all.
we already have a thread on this. http://www.politicalforum.com/elections-campaigns/202655-fox-news-marginalizes-ron-paul.html
Here's a video link from Fox on Ron Paul being ignored. It seems like the commentators like Ron Paul, but the station as a whole (through its newscasters) tries to negate that by ignoring him. Guess that's their idea of 'fair and balanced'. http://www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/f...01/whos-ignoring-ron-paul/?playlist_id=158146
Fox only likes Neo-Cons, Corporatists, and the Christian Right. They dislike capitalists and Libertarians more than they do liberals and even socialists. It's no surprise that they dislike Ron Paul.
I'm getting sick and tired of Ron Paul fanatics spaming the forum with this bull(*)(*)(*)(*). Nobody gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) about Ron Paul. The media talks about stuff we care about because that gets ratings. They talk Ron Paul we change the channel.
It's a big forum. Feel free to drink from the MSM well all you want and ignore any Ron Paul threads. Simple solution.
Ah yes, we shouldn't talk about Ron Paul, rather we should talk about the Republican alternatives, like Michelle Bachmann, a nutjob on the Christian Right with no intelligence at all, Mitt Romney, who's basically President Obama's slightly more conservative clone, or Rick Perry, a guy who's claim to fame is a bunch of minimum wage jobs, and talk of secession. All of them bought by corporate America and special interests. On second thought, let's talk about Ron Paul some more.
