From the Levelheadedness Blog...

"Enter Gloria Borger. She interviewed Paul yesterday and asked him about a publication with his name on it from 20 years ago. It was an unflattering publication but he’s answered to CNN before (in fact two days before) saying he didn’t write it or read it.

So why was Gloria Borger so insistent on not letting go of this question?

It turns out that Gloria Borger is married to Lance Morgan who is a Lobbyist for Powell Tate - one of the biggest lobbying firms for the Defense Industry."

Good blog and welcome!! This FACT really needs to be explored.

I heard there might be a Zionist angle to this as well, and given the one "quote" from the the letters she had to fit-in was about Israel, I don't doubt it.

..but that's a question of who performed the marriage (and where) and how far you want to go down that particular rabbit-hole..
 
Mainstream Media

Yes they all love the smell of blood.

They wouldn't cover him before but they are going out of their way to now.

However Gloria Borgor who is married to a Defense Industry Lobbyist would not let the question go and Paul walked out. CNN had asked the same question two days before and he answered it.

I wonder how much her family will lose if he is elected and her husbands lucrative lobbyist job is eliminated.
 
I think the Obama supporters don't want to face RP in the general. They'll have a very hard time campaigning against him.

The media is owned.

The connection you make above is possibly surprising if you don't already know how the powers that be roll.

Ron Paul is dangerous to both Obama and Romney. However he will likely pull more voters from the Republicans making it a Paul vs. Obama election. Right now the Republican machine wants him out. But he's indicated an Independent run if he doesn't get the nomination.

How would an Independent ticket being Paul//Hunstman sound? I think it will be unbeatable.
 
Wow. Look at Powell-Tate's "Defense" lobbying page. This is disgusting:

Powell Tate Stands to lose a ton of Paul gets elected

Paul's main position which I can agree with totally is bring home our troops from all of the countries where we have them. I don't recall how many but I think we have troops in over 50 places. Of course the public just knows about middle east but why do we have troops all over?

We need to stop policing the world. We can't afford it and it was never our job in the first place.

I always find it odd that Zionists hate RP so much-he is in favor of letting Israelis handle their problems as they wish. They should love him, in theory.
 
I personally think all of the mainstream media is against Ron Paul - but yes, I agree that CNN seems to be getting a little less fair and balanced (excuse the pun).
 
I don't think you can compare FOX news to any other news outlet. FOX is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican party. It's the channel that the mindless drones watch and believe everything they hear. Jon Stewart makes a living off of the nonsense they put out every day.

I should be more amazed that a large part of our country is stupid enough to watch and believe what FOX says but I'm not. The Republican agenda for getting people who would normally vote Democrat is the scare them into thinking that Democrats will take away their guns, have more abortions, and be the party of the religious right. The number of poor people in the south who vote Republican every year because of things like abortion have no clue. Abortion laws have not changed since Roe vs. Wade no matter which party has been in power.

People like Ron Paul and Huntsman are not part of the ultra religious right that FOX caters to. If Huntsman had a better campaign and more name recognition he could be a contender. The only reason Paul is a contender is the amazing organization people have built around him.

So if FOX hates Paul, and the Democratic networks hate him also then it shouldn't be any surprise he's getting bad press.
 
I never really considered CNN to be a credible source of information, at least since the age of 12.

Also, it's probably a waste of time worrying too much about this whole "controversy". As far as I'm concerned, a large percentage of the modern liberal movement is a total lost cause. Any strategy designed to win over a large portion of that voting group is probably flawed from the start. We constantly hear about the supposed anti-war liberals, yet they seem to have little problem when a Democrat promotes it.
In addition to this, they are extremely anti-market, and often anti-business. So sure, you can try to implement a strategy to win favor from them, but when it comes down to voting, do you really expect to capture their support?
I'm only referring to electoral voting politics in this instance, not ideology.
 
You are correct in that this "controversy" won't hurt Paul because the people who are for him are "outside" of the standard mainstream herd mentality. I doubt that many supporters of Paul will change their vote at all.

All this does is drive away the people who were on the fence.

And Paul really doesn't need them.

If he goes independent then the Republican's lose. It shows how poorly the Republican party is organized that they don't see that their only chance is Ron Paul. Running "Mittens Romney" against Obama and Paul means Romney loses. Paul holds the power for the first time and the Republican party refuses to see it.
 
None of the news networks are good. The only thing you have are decent individuals within them, sometimes behind the scenes, and sometimes well-known, like Napolitano, Rattigan, Cafferty, and Cavuto.

Try 900+ bases in 130+ countries.

On another note:
This all seemed far fetched to me, but those website excerpts convinced me otherwise.

Every Democrat I know is upset with Obama due to the wars. I don't know who you're talking to, but I live in Portland, OR (very liberal) and moved here from Philly/NYC and have family and friends in all across the East Coast. Nobody, and I mean nobody, defends these wars. In fact, Obama has been the biggest opportunity to wake people up to the false left/right paradigm I've ever seen. Which, from the sounds of it, you may need to come to terms with yourself - it most certainly sounds like you're assuming things about people you don't know.

Heck, the best article I've seen on this whole bs fake-scandal is on antiwar.com: http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2011/12/20/we-shall-overcome/

And if you read the comment section, you'll see tons of self-proclaimed 'hard left' people defending and supporting Ron Paul.
