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.

I just got cutoff because my message was so long.

Be respectful people.

It's pervasive.

I spent two hours on hold to get on a radio talk show today out of Memphis, right before TN votes on Tuesday.

The host, Andrew Clarksenior, knows me because I've called in before and I have bested him on air in my support of Ron Paul.

Three separate times he would say, "we're getting to William next" then take another call.

The show ended and I didn't get on.

He knows I would have once more made a great argument for Ron Paul, one he couldn't counter, and so he wouldn't let me on air.

It's ironic how the talk radio people bash the mainstream media for not giving Conservatives enough respect, but when it comes to a true Conservative, they are no better.

I am so ANGRY and I can't even go out and do any canvassing to make me feel better because I'm stuck at home with a sick child all day.

RATS!

PLease everyone..make sure your calls and letters are also requesting a transcript or the letter to be placed in FCC public file. They are going to have to show them sooner or later if you do this.

 

[Matt Collins]

I dont think the newspaper has to report in a FCC public file

I have strong ties to Nashville & M'Boro.
The Tennessean just got a piece of my mind

Here's what I wrote in an email:

"Dear Mark Silverman,

1) Why did The Tennessean newspaper leave out Ron Paul and his positions in the voters guide?

2) Why would The Tennessean leave out the only anti-war, bring-the-troops-home-now, Republican candidate?

3) Do you realize this makes The Tennessean look very biased to 70% of the readership who want to see the Iraq War ended now?

I'll be looking forward to a reasonable response to my three questions.

Thanks!"

...don't JUST complain, demand correction tomorrow.

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.

you need to make sure you put something in there about "he finished second in NV, LA, and finished ahead of Huckabee in Maine..... don't let them pull the "he's only polling at -1% bs.


And take out a full page ad Tuesday if you have to.. threaten them with that.. that you'll put something in there calling them on their bias. You might also contact the local TV station, radio station, etc. make a stink.

The sick thing is that we already have been running ads in their paper for a week. AND we will be running an ad on Tuesday taking up the entire bottom of the front page! By the way, one of our meetup members spent $7k on it
