Documentary detailing media bias

[Teflon Master]

I suggest that we make a video detailing the bias the media has against Ron Paul, such as spinning what he says, lack of airtime, and blatant falsehoods about Ron Paul. If it is made nicely enough it could possibly make some tremors across the internet, much like Loose Change (however, unlike Loose Change, we will rely on facts and not being idiots).

Yes, back everything up with facts. When you've got words on the screen saying "that's not what he said", have a clip of what he actually said. No way to argue with that! Show a page from the 9/11 commission backing up RP! Yada, yada, etc, and so on...

Unlike the competition, we don't have to lie about our candidate.

To expand on that, I'd suggest doing everything you can to make it obvious you aren't selectively editting Ron Paul. For example, very short clips that support the point you're trying to make are good for conciseness, but they can also come across as probably leaving out a lot before and after the clip that would alter the meaning of the short clip. Always give enough to prove the context of the clip, to show that Ron Paul did indeed make precisely the point you're trying to show that he made.

Or maybe I'm the only one who gets a little suspicious when I see short sound-bites in persuasion-oriented documentaries. I've seen too much devious misrepresentation over the last few years to immediately trust persuasive pieces.

A project for Aaron Russo?

Media Matters did a brief compilation, however they left out the video where FOX quotes Dr.Paul as saying "US had a hand in the 9/11 attacks"...

There could certainly be much more shown, like more of the cases of the spin against Dr. Paul.

I don't want to speak too soon, but I'm already trying to compose a video recapping the Ron/Rudy exchange in defense of the facts.

I should expand a little and thoroughly document and SHOW the proof for Ron Paul's position. Does anyone have suggestions or links to offer for things I can include in the video? Time is short and I can't do ALL the research by myself!
