Ron just discussed on Fox News Bret's Special Report

[Hoax]

I imagine they got a tremendous backlash from saying that a Ron Paul win would discredit the Iowa caucus. That kind of blatant nonsense tends to wake people up. In Ron's victory speech he needs to rip the pundits apart on that one, people hate that kind of arrogance on the part of the media.

On the newsletters issue there really is no there, there. Its a non story that CNN has dredged up in the most blatant, stupid way possible. Furthermore, the very heart and soul of a 'liberal' argument is playing the race card. Conservatives don't like the race card, especially over a non issue. Given the crowds in Iowa, given the conduct on the part of the media, Fox is treading carefully. They don't want to lose their conservative influence by bashing Ron so close to the Iowa caucus. If he wins it would be devastating, so they're playing it safe.

Hoax you are spot on and I can tell from your typing that you're an intelligent person.

However, the "conservatives" like Limbaugh, Hannity, etc, will surely play the racism card if they can score any points against RP for doing so.

The dumbest thing about the newsletters is that THE STORY WAS OUT LAST TIME AND HASNT ADVANCED AT ALL, so how can it come up again?

I mean, when Newt surged, the top story on political news wasn't his marital history. But that would have been the equivalent of all this!

Very good point.

The line that they are only talking about it now because he is now relevant is what the 'redstate' piece of shit Erickson said last night as well as Blitzer today. Same memo?

They gave Ron Paul zero coverage and 89 second's in a debate and then attacked him when he does well anyway.

Even with candidates they come up with something negative to write about, they give them fair coverage beforehand on their platform. They haven't given Ron Paul normal coverage, and there isn't any excuse. It's censorship followed by smearing.

And Erickson works for CNN, and kicks off anyone from his site with Ron Paul's views, so there is no question as to the reason. Blog thuggery shouldn't be extended to national news networks however.

Correct!

Newt got bashed for how he voted and what he said with regards to policy (flip-flopping, caustic statements). There isn't an instance of flip-flopping with Paul, and they sure as shit don't want to let him talk more about a rational, sane, non-brown-people-hating foreign policy or ending the Fed.
If CNN really wanted to practice journalism and they cared enough about the authorship of the newsletters they would research it and figure out who wrote them and expose them.

I do like MN/L. If they withdrew taxpayer funding for PBS, I would do my part to make it up in donations.

please dont make the task for the MSMbots easier !!

"In a devastating blow to his dangerous foreign policy, unhinged economics, etc. Dr Ron Paul's campaign has suffered defeat in the Iowa caucuses."

Iowa results:

Romney 23%
Gingrich 18%
Paul 24%

"Mitt Romney enjoys a win in Iowa today... Crushing Ron Paul's rise in recent weeks and able to close the gap"

"Even though Ron Paul, technically, 'won'... it is clear his dangerous ideas are unpalatable"

I used to believe this program was the only legitimate source of news in the mainstream media. Now I know that there is no legitimate source.

WELL, YOU HAVE ME, BRO.
