@briansol,
They're scared of him, and they know the best way to hurt his campaign is to ignore any stories about him. Sad thing is, people vote for whoever they see the most on the news or whoever their political party tells them without researching ANY of the issues. It's one of the worst problems with America. Democracy degraded by dumbasses

@briansol,
Well I can tell you right now that here in Spokane, WA their is a whole lot of Ron Paul every where. You make it maybe 5 blocks without seeing a Ron Paul sign. Ron Paul supporters have been at the last two gun shows too Smile Plenty of people standing outside in the freezing ass cold holding his banners. So maybe the power of word of mouth will help a great deal.

That still would not explain CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, The NY and LA Times, etc. What are they afraid of..? I do not get it. Maybe, at this time, he's just not newsworthy enough....

Fear is not the issue with the mainstream media, it's agenda. Half of the networks are democrats pushing bigger government, socialism, and fear, the others are neocons, pushing bigger government, war, and fear. Ron Paul is pushing smaller government, freedom, understanding and diplomacy, this doesn't not make money for the people in control. Americans have been dumbed down by TV, and the babyboomer, turned me generation self indulgence. Individualism, and self responibility are shunned because we are told from birth that we have to compete with the Jonses to have a bigger car, smaller waist, fatter wallet, more inches of LCD NFL highlights, and a budwieser to wash it all down.

I agree totally - when I asked what they were afraid of, it was in response to a question posed by klyph in post #5.

The networks make their living stirring things up and serving themselves.

He's a fine guy, no doubt - just not newsworthy enough, at this time. I will say that because of reading this forum, I will pay more attention to what he says going forward and isn't that the point of being here..?
