CNN South Carolina Debate (1/19/12) -- Official Thread!

[MsDoodahs]

He Who Shall Not Be Named must have KILLED it tonight, because they haven't mentioned a word about him!

oh, exactly!

And don't fret over these presstitutes, they're so obviously terrified of RP it is hilarious!

 

[happyphilter]

It makes me giddy thinking about how happy Ron Paul must be when the crowd demanded that they hear Dr. Paul speak!

go to twitter and just search debate. read the results. then search ron paul and look at the difference. MSM members with twitter accts are just as bad as their channels

 

[Havax]

All 3 of the other candidates could have dropped out live and endorsed Paul live on the stage and all they would talk about after the debate would be how this effects the field in 2016.

 

[rprprs]

I was all for giving CNN and John King credit for a well run debate, but this sorry excuse for a post-debate show cancels that out. Guess they couldn't keep being relatively fair for too long. Par for the course.

That'll teach ya. Never, ever give them the benefit of the doubt. For how many years have they been doing this now? They're NEVER going to change.

 

[parocks]

Cant wait until Sanitorium drops out and then it will be three. Mitt in the middle of course, slightly higher than the others. It will be more and more obvious that they are ignoring Ron Paul. Then when gingrich drops out and its just Romney and Paul. Then what? hahahaha

no more debates

 

[Gary4Liberty]

they must be afraid of him is all i can think of as an explanation. If they thought he couldnt beat their beloved messiah obama then they would be trying to get ron paul nominated .

 

[Matthanuf06]

Someone needs to make a video of this CNN post debate show. Like make it sped up to cover all 45 mins of non Paul into a minute just to show how ridiculous it was

 

[Rudeman]

They finally mentioned Ron Paul, only to remind themselves how they hadn't mentioned Ron Paul.

John Stewart are you watching this?!?!

Thanks to Donna Brazile who brought up the caucuses favor Paul (when King? was trying to say the schedule after Florida favors Romney). Then King admits that Paul is in for the long haul and goes back to ignoring him. 1 mention in the entire post debate segment.

 

[PeteinLA]

Wow, haha, that has to be some sort of record. One little tiny mention of Ron Paul the entire post debate coverage.

I come from grandparents that were Italian immigrants but they did it the legal way!

at that time there was a legal way.

the designer of the Lincoln cent would not be let into the USA today (he had criminal record in Russia)

As soon as someone mentions Ron Paul, David Gergen immediately says "Romney" as if it is a reflex, and they don't talk about him.

We need a video with this script from some of the experts here like chainspell.

Open with Ron's answer on corporate media in the beginning, followed by King getting booed and Ron saying he was a doctor.
Then cut to the CNN post game show. Play the show in fast forward, and have each of the four candidates name on the screen with a running number next to how many times they have been mentioned.
Then cut to the Anderson Cooper video where he blasts Ron Paul for claiming that the media is biased towards him and becomes indignant.

That goes viral.

 

[Feelgood]

They just mentioned Ron Paul to mention they haven't mentioned Ron Paul. Wow.

Jon Stewart, did you get this?

Someone post the raw video, and I will make the most epic version of this video you have ever seen.

 

[georgiaboy]

How do these people sleep at night.

I ask myself this every time this happens. I really had hoped it was gonna be different this time around, especially with the huge growth in polling and support.

I don't understand how people can call this 'the free press'.

 

[nicname]

Its called THE FIX for a reason. LOL.

Definitely my most despised "journalist." Can't stand that dude.

 

[agorist ninja]

Relax.

Why do people continue to be surprised that Ron is ignored by the media, especially in post-debate shows? This has been happening for years and years now. It's not going to change. All we can do is keep building upon our grassroots efforts. Focus your energy there. Make some PfH calls, canvas your neighborhood, start up a conversation at your local diner or coffee shop, get an article published in your local paper. Anything that will help to reach more eyes and ears. Because you can bet your bottom dollar that the MSM isn't going to help Ron in any such way, no matter how loudly you protest.

 

[Celes]

CNN.com vote for Paul!

That's the only reason Ron's name came up. The others shut that down immediately. Borger was over there grinning when they shut Brazile down.
