Not sure what you mean, Scott; I don't have a website.... I was offering to host yours. As in provide space for it to reside on a server, and bandwidth so it can be visited by the public.

 

[malkusm]

Bump. As events unfold, keep this thread in mind.

Great thread!!

I'm sure the media will give us plenty of material unfortunately

 

[LisaNY]

Politico has an article on 2012 candidates, talks about CPAC and mentions everybody but Ron Paul.

* Ron's name is now added. It was not there before.

 

[KramerDSP]

I found a few from 2007/2008:

- CNN Bias via pie chart ommisions
- Graphic example of Media blackout of Ron Paul (Fox News Omission)
- Was ABC News fair to Ron Paul Supporters? (Iowa 2008)

Ron Paul Blasts U.S. for "Propping up Puppet Dictator" in Egypt by Stephanie Condon of CBS News:

"WASHINGTON -- The Republican party's most serious potential presidential contenders at the Conservative Political Action Conference today gave little more than passing reference to the most serious news of the day - the resignation of Egyptian's authoritarian President Honsi Mubarak.

Yet Rep. Ron Paul -- who's arguably the most popular politician at the annual conservative conference, but not considered a viable presidential candidate -- seized the news to blast American foreign policy and promote his well-known preference for isolationism."

____________________________________________________

Fox News - Ron Paul Brings Down The House - by Jake Gibson":

"Paul hit on the idea of isolationism repeatedly."The Founding Fathers talked about staying out of foreign entanglements when it's none of our business."

Paul also revisited many of his favorite subjects, including ending the Federal Reserve Bank, protecting civil liberties and repealing the Patriot Act.

"The Patriot Act is literally the destruction of the fourth amendment."

Ron Paul supporters have been the loudest supporters over the course of CPAC, picking a fight with Donald Trump and trying to boo Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney off the stage Thursday.

Though it would surely enrage many Republicans if he wins the straw poll Saturday it should surprise no one."

Fox News Poll Potential 2012 Head-to-Head Matchups, RP not given as option - Ron Paul Forums thread

 

[Bruno]

This could be the first example of when a major news network completely ignores a potential candidate, includes a bunch of relative unknowns, and then says the person they omitted (who was also a speaker), is the crowd favorite.

So we have this, with no Ron Paul listed,

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/11/fox-news-poll-trump-president/

Don't know if this makes me madder or sadder? Why do they deliberately leave him out?

Website is good idea, but I think we need a whole sub forum on RPF to dump the info, then you can move it to a website taht can organize and disseminate the information the information. But it should start here, since you will get the most daily users.

So how about it? Ron Paul media bias Sub-Forum?

Isn't the media bias everytime they claim "Ron Paul Can't Win", they all love to say it! In reality, they are simply trying to manipulate the general public, if they say it enough times, it must be true!

 

[JamesButabi]

So how about it? Ron Paul media bias Sub-Forum?

That would help to gather and sort data immensely

I never realized how biased the mainstream media was until I actually had someone I wanted to vote for.
