What does the Media know??

[UtahApocalypse]

Ron Paul is literally EVERYWHERE! I cant keep up with the coverage and most seems very last minute like something happened. Is this a good sign or bad? Are they hedging their bets? They finally catching on? Seems kinda odd that the night before the first caucus that every channel is suddenly more Ron Paul then other candidates even.

Does anyone have a list of all of the media coverage today in one place?

I was surprised when earlier today he was interviewed on the Lou Shultz show.

They know he is top tier. They are trying to save face.

 

[stefans]

for those of you who really think there is a conspiracy(besides fox news) and not just lazyness on part of the MSM, it makes perfectly sense.
trying to ignore a candidate to keep him from getting his message out but once you failed, covering him at the last minute so you're not looking stupid if he does well the next day.

I mentioned this in another thread but I think the exec's have come back from the holidays to the barrage of e mails faxes and ringing phones. Keep it up

Thanks, but I was hoping for a bit more.

Sun Tzu says "give your enemy something". That something is the victory he already has but attach the string. The string is the idea that Ron Paul's success is only due to his anti-war stance. The string is the idea that there is nothing about Ron Paul which people support except his anti-war stance.

Then make the anti-war stance objectionable with a false flag and not only do you marginalize the untenable position of Ron Paul you marginalize the unrecognized undercurrent of freedom which truly propels his candidacy.

Edwards' success tomorrow will also be credited to his anti-war stance thereby re-enforcing the notion that 2008 political success is determined by Iraq and Iraq only.

I think this is more of the campaign's doing. They know that a lot of people who expect to go to the caucus and vote are going to be paying closer attention to the media to weigh their options, hear more about the candidates etc. etc. So it could be that the campaign has just been waiting to get the right media spots, which happens to be today... or maybe it's an entirely different reason. IDk, but to think of it as a campaign strategy makes the most sense to me.

The media also cover almost every other candidates today.

Does RP really get more air time than others?

Sounds like Kent Snyder and everyone at HQ have been working their butt's off to put this stuff together...

uh... no.

Yeah, I wish I can say it's the media's gift to Ron Paul and the grassroots but I don't see why that's the case. Or that it could be a conspiracy!

In my opinion, the coverage couldn't have come at a better time when caucus goers, as well as most people in the early primary states are watching the news more carefully now. So I think it's partly because the campaign has lobbied media in the right time, than it be a conspiracy, or a gift (which the media would hardly give to us or RP). Call me crazy...

But there is one setback to this... I remember before Ames some pundits were saying Ron can come in third or second, really surprise people. Ergo, supporters MUST NOT FEEL COMPLACENT ABOUT OUR CHANCES. We still have to prove them wrong and send a big F U to the media, the establishment and Frank. This is a crucial time. We must show them that Ron Paul can get votes or they're just going to ignore us again like they did after Ames. To me, anything below 3rd place would be unacceptable. Media is going to stop mentioning RP, everyone is going to think RP campaign is a joke, we'll be excluded from debates etc. We can't let them win.

Bingo..... and they they see what we are doing to faux. We all still need to be lawnmowers and all together in one megaomygodus group, trim the ass of the main stream fascist media.

Well, something did happen. Fox shot itself in the foot, then stuck its foot in its mouth!

I would imagine it has a very great deal more to do with the Sunday Forum exclusion, the NH Republican leadership threat to withdraw support, and the currently ongoing dumping of NWS stock around the world, and the potential loss of all those SPONSORS we have been emailing/contacting. And their servers are overwhelmed with email!!!

They are throwing a few crumbs Ron Paul's way. Do not be distracted by this Trojan horse.

 

[fuzzybekool]

I have seen this happen before in past election cycles. they know they are dead wrong with their fake polls, and need to cover themselves. They do not want to be red-faced tomorrow, and they now realize they could not defeat the Ron Paul support despite all their dirty tricks.

Damn I feel good !

 

[Pharoah]

It's funny how you guys who used to say that Fox being against RP was a conspiracy are now onboard with those of us who were saying so from the beginning, yet you still call any other strange behavior by the MSM a "conspiracy theory". Sheesh...
