Digg Caught Red-Handed Censoring Ron Paul Stories

[scooter]

I think it's possible that Digg's algorithms are smart enough to see that the Ron Paul stories are posted by and dugg by the same few hundred people every time.

Seriously, posting a digg story about every little thing Ron Paul says or does has started to annoy to the rest of the Digg population and I think fuels other people's theories that the RP supporters are just a bunch of crazies.

I understand the frustration. Internet sites like Digg are really the only place that Ron Paul can get some covereage, but the reality is that too many things have been posted there and many of them were about useless stuff.

Give it a rest with the conspiracies and just stick to telling people about Ron Paul... directly.

How is it so hard to believe that digg is censoring Ron Paul stuff with all that is going on and all that has happened???
If anyone has watched the repubs' debates since May 3, you would understand how much censoring has taken place.
RON PAUL IS THE BIGGEST STORY ON THIS PLANET atm, yet my local news stations(in city of 1m population) never even mention his name.
Ron Paul won the first debate back on May 3rd,2007 with 80-90% of the votes.
ABC then removed his name from the poll and erased the huge number of positive comments for Dr. Paul.
This censorship and slandering has been going on since then.
If you have not been paying attention since the first debate, it would be more difficult to understand how corrupt the news medias and many internet sites have become.
Like I said, Ron Paul is the biggest story on the planet right now.
The elite are doing EVERYTHING they can to squash this movement and they're failing.

RON PAUL IS THE BIGGEST STORY ON THIS PLANET

LMAO.... maybe to a Ron Paul supporter. In the real world, outside the Ron Paul campaign many people still have no clue who, or even what a Ron Paul is.

Yeah, ok. Is that why his name has been the #1 term searched on the entire internet? You don't sound like a supporter to me. Either that or you might be a serious lemming.



BTW, I agree alot of ppl don't know about him. This is mainly because ppl have rejected politics because they are sick of being lied to.

Ron Paul is not the biggest story on the planet. He is to you, I know... and to me.

He's a man running who has 6-10% of the vote in his party.

He deserves a lot more, and he could have been doing better already with better coverage...

However, the media expected him to get few votes and he's gotten a few more than they expected.

They still don't see how 6% will turn into 40%.

If we can show them, they'll cover him.

Digg certainly isn't evil. It's a website for geeks. It's just spread past that a little, but still stop bugging them. How would we feel if 100 people a day posted about computers?

Again I laugh at you. The internet is not the whole world. You sound like a person who will not work to win because you live online and don't want to face the realites that we have to do a lot more work to even get close to winning.

And _THAT_ is why Ron Paul is losing.

Ooooh. #1 amongst the internets.

225 million people in the US have internet access.


What I mean by Ron Paul being the biggest story on the planet is ...

He has won every post debate poll except for 1(he came in second in that one)

He has won more straw polls than any other candidate by far(where ppl have to actually pay to vote)

He has raised more money in the last quarter than any other candidate on the rep side, and possibly the dems(very close)

He set an all-time fundraising record in a 24 hour period(and half of J Kerry's 5.7m was from special interest)

He has around 100k meetup members(staggering compared to all other candidates)

He has meetup groups all over the world(worldwide support)

I could go on and on but the point is....

If the media was being even close to honest, this would have been the headlines everyday since the first debate.

 

[Libertyiswinning]

All of this and my local media in a city of 1,000,000 people never even mention his name. He came to visit two times and they refused to even mention it.

Can anyone tell me another candidate who has supporters all over the world?


And for those who say its just an internet thing .... do you know many people who don't have access to the internet??????

All that and eggs and you could have ham and eggs, if you had ham.

go canvas.

My grandmother even has internet, and she is close to 80 years old.

ok.. just because someone searched for Ron Paul doesn't mean they'll vote for him.

Also, I search for him about 10 times a day! I know that's true for tens of thousands of people.

You have no idea what I have done so far, why the hell are you tellling ME to go canvas when you are here on this site.

I have had a HUGE Ron Paul sign in my front yard(a very nice area) since the first debate on May 3rd. (The sign in my front yard is also my icon)

I have donated 6 times as much as I could afford.

I went and listened to Dr. Paul speak when he came to my area. I was lucky enough to shake his hand and tell him thank you.

I work in a new household everyday laying vinyl floors for a living and educate every customer I have.

I have told all of my family, friends, ppl I work with and neighbors about him.


When Bush came to my town recently, I went down with my HUGE Ron Paul sign in the freezing cold temperatures and Ron Pauled his ass(and his entire motorcade) with my homemade sign. There were only 8 ppl there protesting his visit in a town of 1m ppl and I was the only one with a Ron Paul sign(and it was the biggest most visible sign there)



Oh, and everywhere I drive in this town, I'm Ron Pauling ppl because my work van is a moving Ron Paul billboard...

And as for me being here, I am here to learn of any new information that may help me inform ppl. I continue to learn as much as I can because if you have not noticed, a war has been waged on the supporters of Ron Paul by the elite and the MSM. If you don't believe this than explain to me why they are constantly slandering him with racist BS and "no chance to win" comments, etc.

That's all great, but protesting Bush and having yard signs doesn't win. I'm here telling you this because I live in Michigan, where we got 6%of the voting. Until a week before I didn't know to canvas... you apparently don't know to either.

Waving signs and telling people about Ron Paul is cool, but it obviously doesn't get us enough votes to win.

Listening to him speak doesn't get votes.

Going to Bush speeches doesn't get him votes.

Shaking his hand doesn't get him votes.

As someone who's state just voted, here's what gets him votes:

canvasing your precinct.

How can people complain about Digg? Seriously, Ron Paul stories are consistently on the top 10. As the abover post mentioned, people do not understand the algorithms. Ron Paul stories do legitimately get buried by users...I've even buried a few myself because I did not think they were digg-worthy. Digg, itself, is censoring nothing - please move on.

I bury RP stories all the time because some people just think it is cool to digg anything mentioning Ron Paul even if it is worthless.

You bastard...

We're going for name recognition here, a lot of people still don't even know who he is..

Go back and read the rest of my post. If you are seriously saying that what i'm doing isn't helping then you're an idiot. And by the way, I can't canvas my precinct right now because THERE ISN'T ONE. I live in Nebraska and our primary is not even close to happening yet.


And also, when I RPed the presidents motorcade, all of the tv stations were there. I was attempting to get the sign on THE NEWS.
