How’s THIS For “UNBIASED” Journalism?
And watch the AMAZING packed house response Paul received on the Salt Lake stop:
The JBS News Feed had the following commentary based on the above ”news” coverage of Ron Paul:

Whether one supports Ron Paul or not there are many lessons to be learned in observing the Texas Congressman’s growing popularity. First, Americans who want to elect a candidate who is friendly to the Constitution and the principles of limited government — to any political office — would do well to pay attention to the potential of the Internet as a vehicle for getting the message out. Without the Internet, there would be no “Ron Paul Revolution.”
Second (and this is the flip side of the coin), don’t expect the major media or its local affiliates to give balanced and fair coverage. To wit, even though all of the local Salt Lake City outlets reported Paul’s support numbers as only being between 1% and 2%, that he is a “long shot,” or that he is “struggling in the polls,” they ignored his consistently high placing in straw poll events, as well as his strong results after nationally-televised debates.
Granted, media bias is par for the course in today’s ratings obsessed news industry with its politically-driven agenda disguised as news coverage. Nevertheless, it is worth analyzing what the media considers to be “extreme views.”
EXTREME VIEWS??? The article goes on to analyze the so-called “extreme” views of Ron Paul, and does a pretty good job of it. I am always amazed at what news anchors decide to label as extreme. Next time you hear that term used, insert “DIFFERENT THAN MY VIEWS” in its place, and you will better understand the real intent of the subtle, or NOT so subtle, diatribe you are listening to.
Is that NEWS? And if not, do we even HAVE real news reporters any longer???
