Ron Paul not mentioned on washington journal regarding 4th quarter fundraising

[amagilly]

washington journal left out ron paul's 4th quarter fundraising.
they also did not mention romney's 18 million loan to himself.
email [email protected] to let them know.

Ok, that's twice now the host on Washington Journal mentioned 4th quarter numbers for the candidates and left out Ron Paul. And again the host does not mention Romney loaning himself 18 million. Not a single call-in to the show caught this either.
And my emails to them apparantly did not get through.

the media has gone to hell.

With C-Span crapping the bed, there is an opportunity for a non-biased replacement for them. It makes me sad, because they've provided an important service for a long time, but this shit is unacceptable.

And they couldn't care less about emails any more. It's past the point where "letting them know about it" makes a difference. They've made decisions internally, just like the other media outlets before them, and I don't know how those decisions can be changed by outside influence.

It's a damn shame.

This is just stupid. How in the world can they justify leaving off the number one fundraiser?

I wonder if the news will just point their cameras at blades of grass when Ron gets elected. "Move along....nothing to see here...just another Preisdent, not a big deal." then "Britney Spears in the news again..........."

TAKE THE MATCHING FUNDS!

I don't care if it is against principles.
And I hate taking those funds.

But he should take them and spend 15 million on advertising in the next few days.

The media is deliberately ignoring him

Ron Paul was not mentioned on Wolf Blitzer's recap of donation totals for the Republican candidates.

I think the media see's Dr. Paul as they see Mike Gravel now.
