Why not commission a study of media bias toward Ron Paul?

[djinwa]

Every time I turn on the nightly news, I'm amazed at their ability to ignore Ron Paul. Tonight on NBC, they focused on Mitt Romney's challengers and showed Gingrich, Perry, Huntsman, and Santorum.

How can you leave out number two in the polls? It can't be because of electability.

It is obviously deliberate and at the least, unprofessional, and at the most, corrupt.

I realize the campaign doesn't want to be seen as complainers, but couldn't someone else do a study and expose the BS?

We raise tens of millions of dollars to get exposure, while guys like Santorum get it for free.

Supposedly Santorum can't succeed because of lack of funds, but he really doesn't need any.

Why do we put up with a rigged system?

Until we deal with this, all the great talk about the Fed, foreign policy, and the Constitution really doesn't matter.

Majority rules, and the majority are spoonfed by the nightly news.

We just need some billionaires like the one backed Newt. Media can be the tool of the highest bidder.

Let's assume somebody had the power, money and access to conclude with objective facts of media bias against Ron Paul, who would care or change their mind based on that?

Yeah, funny, if you go to google top stories on news, one of them is Ron's NL thingy...always pop up in and around voting days...

It would be like opening a can of worms. But it needs to happen.

So we think we need to take on the Federal Reserve, the military-industrial complex, the entitlement system, but we don't think we should touch the media?

It is the ultimate source of corruption, as it practices mind control.

Pew Research already did one.

I've seen the PEW thing, but it isn't enough, and it needs to be more current.

I think there ought to be an ongoing tabulation of time given to various candidates, and compare to the situation.

For example, tonight Ron Paul is second in NH, but they gave more time to Hunstman on NBC. And Andrea Mitchell mentioned Ron Paul is unelectable.

Santorum was second in Iowa, and look at the attention he got.

And on my way home, I heard our local radio show host saying Ron Paul is unelectable. Why do we tolerate this?

It might not look good for the campaign to be bringing it up, but others could.
