Lame & Lamer: Media Excuses for Ignoring a Surging Ron Paul
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, an Iowa native, won the Republicans' Ames, Iowa Straw Poll on August 13. That fact was reported by most of the national media. However, in an incredible display of conformity bias, virtually all of the major media blacked out the fact that Rep. Ron Paul  of Texas came in a close second, in a virtual tie with Bachmann, with less than one percentage point difference between them. On many of the major media news shows and Sunday talk programs, the network "analysts" and guest "experts" mentioned every GOP presidential candidate (and some who are not candidates: Palin, Trump, Christie) — every candidate, that is, except Ron Paul, who had just accomplished a huge underdog victory.

The media simply report what's newsworthy.  Ron Paul does not fit into that category.

If Ron Paul wants more attention he needs to pay for some political ads.  There's no free lunch.

Of course, the media wants its Globalist puppets like Bachman, Romney, Perry, & Obama.

Any candidate that goes against the corporate **** media of course is going to be ignored.
