I wouldn't be surprised if this has been posted already, but I didn't see it on the top page...

TIME magazine is at it again. Ron Paul wins their poll for GOP presidential candidates by a huge 21% margin. TIME distorts the truth by showing Mitt Romney's name at the top of the poll and color-coding his pie-segment basically one shade darker than Ron Paul's, and listing RP smack dab in the middle to virtually hide his name (a pathetic attempt to cover-up Ron's double-digit victory).

As if that isn't bad enough, then they almost entirely leave RP's name out of the accompanying article! His only mention is in the THIRD TO LAST PARAGRAPH (it's a 3 page article) in a question about whether he would "privatize the Grand Canyon" (WTF?!?!), but they of course mention Romney well over a dozen times. In fact, you could say the article is almost entirely about Romney, the second place loser.

Are you friggin kidding me? Scumbag POS shills.

WE HAVE TO PUBLICIZE THIS! Spread it far and wide.

Here is the PIE GRAPH

Here is the ARTICLE
 
It is good to see that a self professed socialist does not support Ron Paul. It is telling that he supports Romney.
 
Screenshot worthy. Watching the MSM in a presidential election is like getting a free lesson in propaganda.

Let's make a pie chart and have the two largest sections slightly different shades of the same color...

The Purchase of Public Opinion

In the following years, not only newsmen, but whole newspapers were bought, financed or founded with Rockefeller money. So Time Magazine, which Henry Luce started in 1923, had been taken over by J.P. Morgan when the magazine got into financial difficulties. When Morgan died and his financial empire crumbled, the Thorough FaceliftHouse of Rockefeller wasted no time in taking over this lush editorial plum also, together with its sisters Fortune and Life, and built for them an expensive 14-story home of their own in Rockefeller Center —. the Time & Life Building.

Rockefeller was also co-owner of Time's "rival" magazine, Newsweek, which had been established in the early days of the New Deal with money put up by Rockefeller, Vincent Astor, the Harrimann family and other members and allies of the House.

They can't hide the pie chart because people will see two people with LARGE %'s and investigate further. Either way, Ron Paul wins.

I haven't read the article yet.
 
It's definitely not a big surprise, but with the much more positive media attention RP has been getting this time around, it is kind of odd that TIME would be so blatant about their bias.

I really love the screed-shot idea that JoshLowry posted on this thread. I would also say, as a step further, an entire website dedicated to exposing media biases against Ron Paul in 2012 would be a good idea for someone to explore. This is something the official campaign could actually use to their benefit with all the money we're throwing at them.

Check the subforum you are in (moved your thread earlier today) threads in here may help catalog these articles a bit. I imagine the links will all wind up dead within a year.

Good to save what you can.

The Ron Paul people were ALL OVER that article in the comments section. I dont think theres one comment there that didnt mention Ron Paul.

Anyone reading that article will surely realize whats going on if they take a glance at the comment section.
 
Now's the moment for the makers of "For Liberty" to make another documentary, this time making the news the news, and showing how the MSM uses blackout and other techniques to subvert the Ron Paul message. There is a hell of a lot of video and pictoral material already out there, and it needs to be stitched together by a suitable narrator - maybe Tom Woods - whilst simultaneously highlighting all RP's major standpoints and the reasons why the establishment and media want to destroy him and his message so badly. Maybe RT would broadcast it and even fund its creation? But the sooner it is done, the better.

Love this! Great idea. We could definitely get Kokesh to talk about on his show at the very least.
 
The pie graph the OP links to is just the graph one sees after voting. The article appears at quick glance to mainly be an article about Romney. (I understand it's about the bracket poll, barely) Has anyone seen the hard copy of this issue?

That ^^^

Look for Time's web manager to shut down the comment section.
