Nashville Paper Omits RP from Voter Guide (with contact info)

[Matt Collins]

On Page 22a of Sunday Feb 3rd's Tennessean newspaper here in Nashville, a voters guide with every candidate and their positions are listed EXCEPT RON PAUL



THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!


Call AND e-mail the editor of the paper and let them know how you feel. And yes he does actually get the messages.

Mark Silverman, Editor in chief
615-259-8000 (extension: 8003)

I wrote a professional email lambasting the Editorial Board of the Tennessean over this. I maintained my professionalism, but damnit, now I'M PISSED!

They HAVE TO print correction. No excuses needed, just to get the info out - it's in the many interests except special ones; )

I think the next campaign advertisement needs to be a POWERFUL ad about the censorship of this campaign.

Bring in Steven Spielberg if you have to.

 

[Crickett]

It really is criminal, and please call the FCC about it on Monday. 1-888-Call Fcc

call between 8 and 10am because they are gettiing a LOT of calls. They will also ask if you wrote to them, or called them. So see if you can get a response.

My local paper had a similar spread. Ron Paul completely omitted. This censorship is ridiculous. It is going to backfire on the media...if not this election, than the next one. I know more people turned on to Ron Paul because they are mad at the media telling them how to vote, than I know people turned off of Ron Paul because of the media blackout.

 

[Agora]

Media blackout is evident, but they have no excuses and have to publish the correct information about candidates. Demand it. not after/before BT

 

[sheepledog]

I emailed him--but this stuff is really getting to me--I'm aggravated beyond words.

The campaign needs to speak out about this BLATANT CENSORSHIP! ASAP! Arrrrgggh!!!!

 

[Agora]

That was expected, but it's a bit easier with newspapers. There is more time/space to put pressure on them.

yeah, like...who elects the President, American people or Murdoch?

How exactly is the FCC responsible for regulating newspaper?!?!

Call Tenn Paper Night Editor NOW - Demand CORRECTION!

Call the Tennessean night editor RIGHT NOW and demand a correction to run in tomorrow's paper. We only have a couple of hours before their deadline.


The gentleman's name is Jerry Manly and he is in charge tonight at the Tennessean. He will tell you he doesn't have the authority to run a correction, however please demand that he get on the phone and obtain that authority. Remember to be polite and courteous as our actions represent Ron Paul.

615-259-8000 is the main number (go to the news department)


After you have spoken with him ask to be put through to John Gibson (extension 8025) who is the editor in charge of the editorial section. He will not be in his office until Monday but we can leave him voicemail.


IF WE DON'T ACT RIGHT NOW millions of Tennesseans may not ever get to read about Ron Paul. This is our last shot.

 

[Scott Wilson]

I spoke to Jerry and left a voice mail for John.

I think they need some email too!

Here is a list of E-Mails to paste into the BCC: field of your emails to them:

Be sure to use BCC so it will look like each mail is individual and not a form letter.
Be polite and DEMAND that Ron Paul be included and that equal space be devoted
in a reprint or whatever. Make sure to include ALL those emails! Let's let the whole
staff down there know what's going on and our minds on the topic!

We want our country back!

I agree! THIS is the sorta thing I gave my
money to the campaign for! I figured they
would need to fight for it and that takes
money - so I gave it.

Ron Paul, please use it for that. Thank you.

Tell them about the omission. They're talking about politics now.

Now they're talking about Ron Paul!

Stop hurting America

Include every candidate not just the "front runners" that the media picked out for everyone. What happened on page 22a this passed Sunday was flat out wrong. I am canceling my subscription.

(I live in California. I have no subscription.)
