Is THIS unbiased, “Trusted” or “Fair and Balanced” Journalism?
Watch the above video of the amazing reception Ron Paul received at the Iowa Straw Poll, and then ask yourself the question,
Why is it that every traditional network completely left out Ron Paul’s name in their coverage of the Iowa Straw Poll? Why did the fact get MISSED, that in enthusiasm, at least, Paul’s supporters far surpassed even frontrunner Mitt Romney, who had thrown millions of dollars into an attempt to just get some followers there!? How could the Ron Paul spectacle get completely lost on the various reporters!?? NO STORY (that I am aware of)! Is that journalism???
Ask yourself, also, why candidates who came in BEHIND Ron Paul in the Poll, earned mention, while not ONE peep, or slightest MENTION of even Ron Paul’s NAME, came from most networks after he showed extremely well for a so-called “long shot”!? Some networks listed candidates in ranking order, including names of candidates who BEAT Paul, and ALSO names of candidates who came in BEHIND Paul, but there was mysteriously no name in the 5th place ranking! WIERD! NOBODY WON 5th PLACE! And this, even though this media-unfavored upstart garnered nearly 10% of the votes!
Then ask yourself why, when Ron Paul actually started WINNING some Straw Polls, the networks decided not to COVER the polls any longer!??
Did you know that Ron Paul has come in FIRST (that means HE WON) for all of the following Straw Polls:
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
DeKalb County, Georgia Straw Poll
Ronald Reagan Club (Washington)
West Alabama
Strafford County, NH
Gaston County, NC
FreedomWorks Straw Poll
New Hampshire Taxpayers
And Ron Paul, so far, has come in SECOND or THIRD place in at least EIGHT more!
And WHY isn’t there a news story about the PHENOMENAL fund raising success, and the UNREAL web presence for Ron Paul, like there was for a comparatively INFERIOR campaign leap-out by Howard Dean back in the 2004 election!? I remember that even the conservative FOX NEWS network was spreading the “Dean Machine” story for free, DAILY and HOURLY, for WEEKS and MONTHS on end!
Now you have Sean Hannity heard squelching one of the callers to his radio show, who simply pointed out to him that Ron Paul polls as the favored candidate among all military personnel. Sean cuts in with, “Ron Paul’s campaign isn’t going anywhere!” THAT’S RIGHT SEAN, ONLY IF YOU HAVE YOUR WAY (so much for being in touch with soldiers)! Is THAT why your “news” network has a policy against reporting on Ron Paul??? Is it because you are AFRAID to let the people actually decide for themselves (as your political slogan suggests is your goal)? Are you afraid that by actually informing your patrons that there even IS a Ron Paul alternative in the campaign, that his campaign MIGHT go somewhere (people have to KNOW about Paul to be in FAVOR of him)!? Is that what the fear is???
Say it ain’t so (and prove it), and I will retract!
