It was released a little late this week, but the latest report on Presidential media coverage by the Project on Excellence(sic) in Journalism has been released:

Here's the front page graph:

Here's the lead graphic, in which Dr Paul has NEVER appeared:

Putting things into context, here's a look at the split between Republican and Democrat coverage:

Here's a look at the coverage over time of all the Presidential candidates that the Project on Excellence in Journalism WANTS to cover:

Where's the beef (http://www.ronpaul2008.com)?
And here's where we jump for joy at an actual MENTION by this self-named Project on Excellence(sic) in Journalism:

So, 0.7% coverage for the week, certainly much more than we've had in the last six weeks. Happy yet? Didn't think so, as:
Hillary Clinton (D) received EIGHTY-ONE TIMES Dr Paul's coverage for the week.
Barack Obama (D) received SEVENTY-NINE TIMES Dr Paul's coverage for the week.
John McCain (R) received FORTY-NINE TIMES Dr Paul's coverage for the week.
Mike Huckabee (R) received TWENTY-SIX TIMES Dr Paul's coverage for the week.
Mitt Romney (R) received EIGHT TIMES Dr Paul's coverage for the week. (Despite him having dropped out some time back)
Bill Clinton received MORE THAN DOUBLE Dr Paul's coverage for the week, despite not even running.
Three weeks after having dropped out, Rudy Giuliani still received more coverage in the last week than Dr Paul received in the run-up to Super Tuesday.
Coverage report on the coverage report:
The report's length was 1323 words, and NONE of them were about Dr Paul, giving Dr Paul a Critic of 'Media Critic's Report on Media Exposure by Candidate' report score of 0.00% of coverage of coverage. That amount of coverage of the coverage is 1.29% less than last week.
If you want to help in trying to get the Project on Excellence(sic) in Journalism to actually properly cover the fact that the media is shutting Dr Paul out of the race, the report's author is Mark Jurkowitz. You won't have much success with him, though. I believe he has an agenda. His boss is: Tom Rosenstiel. Give him a blast at:
