Whenever I try to argue that politics these days is all about the media and that we basically live in a nation of sheep, I cant never prove this. I take the fact that Ron Paul had record breaking fundraising, has won almost every straw poll, wins almost every post-debate text votes, and yet the media portrays him as a joke. I want to beable to say a good reason behind this. I can't just say because the media has its corporate interests in the other candidates with no direct reasoning, its just not believable and I jsut sound like a sore loser. So my question is, why is it that the media does not want to see Ron Paul as the next president?

For just the reasons you said.

I have had some luck on other websites by using this approach. I looked in the margins of the website in one case and saw ads for a luxury suv and a major bank. I mentioned this in the blog, then asked why either of these sponsors would be interested in supporting a candidate who wants to end our costly war for oil.

You're not wrong. You just haven't found the lever that opens their eyes yet.
