MSNBC Video contest... Ron Paul videos now last place!?

[deedles]

I received an email from one of my meetup members, he said that the MSNBC video contest has been 'changed'. The two Ron Paul videos were @ #1 and 2... now are in last place.

:eek:

Time to start writing and calling these clowns, too!

Do they not know, or do they not care that tens of thousands of people are watching them do this blatant manipulation against Dr. Paul?

I wish I could say unbelieveable. Sadly, it's so very expected....

[bricklayer]

I just went on and looked. This is an outrage. I seriously hope this is a glitch. It looks like they just took the original votes for #1 and #2 (both Ron Paul vids), and switched them with the original votes for the Edwards vid and the Obama vid. I can't believe my eyes. This had better be a glitch.

sure enough they're right!

They reset the votes on the ron paul videos and inflated the obama and edwards video to a ridiculous amount of votes.

They didn't reset them, they just added a video or two and moved the videos over, but not the votes or moved the votes over, but not the videos. Either way they better fix it once we bring it to their attention.

[rp4prez]

anyone have email addresses to send to msnbc? this is a f'n joke!!! GRRR :mad:

[EvoPro]

They did reset the votes for the two Ron Paul videos. They are both around 100 now, they were at about 2,000 a week ago.

Here is the email. Be nice, hopefully when they realize the error, they will fix it. Mention that they added videos and the totals may have remained in the old slot.

[ctb619]

I just sent a polite email asking for a correction.

Yesterday I voted and Ron's video was in first place by a long margin. MSNBC reset the stats, kicking RP out of first place to not even near first place. This kind of crap happens all the time on Google Video. Terrorstorm, Freedom To Fascism, and Loose Change periodically make their way into the top 100 and sometimes to first place. Then miraculously, it disappears and is not even in the top 100. The truth is constantly beat back by the criminals covering up reality.

I AM SO SICK OF THE CRIMINAL LIARS IN THE MSM. THEY CONSTANTLY LIE, CHEAT, FEED EVERYONE PROPAGANDA, COVER UP THE TRUTH, DISTORT REALITY, SUPPORT CRIMINALITY, ETC.

I am sick of it. So sick of it.......

[deedles]

I just sent an email asking them to rectify the issue. I nicely said how very many of us are watching as we are so interested in the outcome.

We'll see.

[Wyurm]

geeze, ever since they put that thing up, they have really had a hard time not screwing it up somehow. Is it really that hard to manage something like that?

[inibo]

I just wrote them to point out that there appears to be an error on the page and that I was not the first person to notice it.

[aravoth]

I'm not suprised at all, honesty in the media is about as real as the tooth fairy. But at least the tooth fairy paid you to put up with a lie.

[inibo]

geeze, ever since they put that thing up, they have really had a hard time not screwing it up somehow. Is it really that hard to manage something like that?

I'd be willing to bet their "developers" have never written a single line of code.

You changed the votes on the Ron Paul video - what a bunch of phonies. You ask for a vote and then if it does not turn out as you wish you change it to what you want.. You will receive the blowback you deserve for this... Nothing but a bunch of crooks and thieves you are!


I also added my name and phone #

[BlCkDeAtH]

Lets spread the word and pound the msnbc site again. Can we out vote the 3299 votes they stole from us?

four thousand votes shouldn't be hard to manage

[hard@work]

Word gets out that they rigged it there will be 40,000 votes.

[Shink]

God Damn!!!:mad: IT JUST WENT BACK DOWN TO ZERO VOTES!!!

[ThePieSwindler]

God Damn!!!:mad: IT JUST WENT BACK DOWN TO ZERO VOTES!!!

You talking about Hamadeh's? Its in 3rd place with 340 votes or so.

[Phil M]

I would like to point out to everybody, as has been stated before, that the numbers were not reset, but moved over to the left. You can prove this by clicking on the new frontrunners, it says that you voted for them.

[Quantumystic]

I HAVE to believe we have at least ONE person working for Google that can get us an inside line on what's truly responsible for this.

When we KNOW "what"... we'll know WHO.
And we can take it from there.

Put out the "feelers" and FIND OUT.

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

all that work for nothing

It is "ranked" #3, but in the last position in the window. Weird. I voted for it. Is there another RP vid besides Hamadeh's? I don't want to watch them all.

[Shink]

If this is true, does it still disprove 'tuning' the votes? I don't think so, unless this gets corrected soon. They want to give that other video the 3230 votes.

[goldenequity]

more of the same ..... we need to rip the covers off this kind of stuff.....

This article about the Distortions by ABC of the Ron Paul campaign
should be shouted from the rooftops and their arrogant noses
pushed in it.

Please Digg this into the stratosphere.... a story that must not go away quietly.

Here's the phone # 425-703-6397 Redmond, Washington. Give them a call.

[SAVEamerica]

WTF!??!? This makes me sick. It says I voted for John Edwards! I certainly did not vote for John Edwards!! I remember specifically voting for a Ron Paul video.


:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

There are 2 RP video's. I think the other one is right above the last one.

It has the V for Vendatta mask in in near the end. Pretty good too, but not as good. The ending is a bit choppy, and rough....

The McCain one next to the very last RP one (or 2 away) is actually kinda good too.... as it is basically a neg ad against Romney.

Confirmed. Both Obama's video and Edward's video show me as voting for them. They screwed up. Now, whether or not it is on purpose remains to be seen. Further, the Ron Paul vids now have a chunk of votes. When they fix it will the votes just cast for the Ron Paul vids transpose onto the Edward's and Obama vids?

[Chris_in_Florida]

LOL...I tried to call but no one answered at the PR desk and the voicemail they sent me to is full, so I guess I am not the only one trying to get this point across.

p.s. It says I voted for the Obama vid, funny I dont even remember watching that vid. Apparently we need to start taking screenshots everytime we vote in a poll, so that there is always proof.

[tnvoter]

bump. send this out to every group, this is insane- they deleted our votes.

[remaxjon]

We are only about 20 votes from 2nd place right now. If you havn't voted go VOTE!

[bricklayer]

Just went back on, and it looks like they fixed it. Still, I hope they don't break it again before the results are "announced".

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah it looks like they fixed it.. I called back the same number to thank them (201) 583-5050 but instead of them picking the phone up immeidately it rang and rang and went to an answering machine.. so i left a message thanking them..


We win once again people.. We are truly lucky to have so many vigilant people supporting Dr. Paul... As James Madison said 'We are right to be alarmed at the first sign of the taking of our liberties...'

[Quantumystic]

The Hamadeh ad is listed at 3,722 votes. The Fitzgerald ad is at 1,570.

I don't think any other ads are even over 400.

[Buzz]

I love the first-place ad.

Does the winner get shown on Hardball or what? I couldn't find out.
