http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Electi...straw-poll.-So-why-are-the-media-ignoring-him
I think this schizophrenic article needs some level-headed comments.
Title: Ron Paul wins yet another straw poll. So why are the media ignoring him?
Article: Supporters say the mainstream media are ignoring him, but such polls are not scientific and they can favor an enthusiastic following like Paul's.
Article: Paul supporters continue to claim media bias against their man.
“If the advocates of Ron Paul often seem like they're paranoid about the way he's overlooked in the mainstream media, there's good reason for it,” columnist Paul Mulshine writes in the Star Ledger in New Jersey.
As evidence, he points to a Sunday New York Times Magazine piece by political analyst Nate Silver headlined “What Are the Chances for Republicans?” Silver’s piece virtually ignores Ron Paul.
“The candidate who has been running third in many polls is conspicuously absent from the article,” writes Mulshine, who also notes that in the Real Clear Politics polling average only Romney does better than Paul in mock head-to-head elections against Barack Obama.
