I'm starting this thread to track all blimp-related media. Please try to only post if you're including a link to a new article that hasn't been posted yet. I'm starting off with a few I saw posted in other threads (discovery attribution given). I hope the data here can eventually be migrated to the official blimp site, but the thread will always be useful as a place to share discovered news for the blimp guys to take.

Update: Decided to divide articles in two categories: a) about the blimp b) just mentions the blimp.
Update: Decided, for the sake of sanity, to organize all links in this first post, to make it easier to browse.
Update: Decided to go out looking for articles through Google News instead of waiting for someone to post them.
Update: Killed the 'mentions' section, we have more than enough dedicated stories.

Now the blimp is finally putting Ron Paul in public's attention. This is what is needed to help win the campaign. What is the latest Ron Paul media commercial that they are running?
 
*bump* The media is giving us the free advertisement we wanted from the blimp. Donate to the blimp- it's working and it's not even in the air yet!
 
Two days ago I started a thread about how a search for ron paul blimp on Google News turns up 35 results. It's at 64 right now. We should keep track of that number too.
 
Is this someone's blog or something? If not, they might want to consider using a proofreader.

Yes, for all intents and purposes USA Daily is a pro Ron Paul blog pretending to be a news source. Just like "Free Market News". People need to be aware of this and stop posting them on these forums as though they are news sources. They are not. They are Ron Paul water carriers who's info is rarely correct and their editing non-existent.

We can't rail against the "MSM" and then quote dubious fake news sources with track records demonstrating nothing except unreliability and clear bias in favor for our candidate. We can't have it both ways.
