View Full Version : Building a website documenting RP Media Bias




JamesButabi
02-14-2011, 10:28 AM
Spawning off the thread in 2012 by malkusm, im creating a website dedicated to documenting bias against Ron Paul

Im laying it out to be a newsreel style and easily updated, but then having the newsreels cached into specific categories. At the head of each category page (exclusions, isolationist, slandering, can't win, not republican, etc) will be an easy and concise retort as to why the bias should not occur.

If you don't think the idea is worthwhile, I kindly ask you don't clutter the thread with nonsense arguing. Im only looking for suggestions on categories and votes as to the domain.

Domains:
unfaircoverage.com
RonPaulvsTheMachine.com

Volunteers: ihsv - Graphics

RonPaulBias sounds like a site that just has favorable Paul articles instead of exposing the propagandists in the media. IMHO MediavsRonPaul sounds more appropriate.

There is also a good contingent of voters that get pissed off at unfair coverage. If we can show instances in which the media misreports facts, we will get some new allies. For instance, remember when CBS reported that Ron only got 2% of the primary vote, when he actually got around 5%?

Of course, we shouldn't spend too much time on this. Making calls, going door to door, raising funds, etc. should be our top priority.

And since a good chunk of the bias comes from Fox, it's an easy sell to the progressives. They'd love to take down Fox.

Imagine what some of the fair-minded liberal blogs will start talking about: "Hey guys, check out this website. Ron Paul supporters totally destroy Fox's credibility."

I'm very glad to see this. IMO, there are some important things that can be done to make a project like this most successful like really highlighting the issues. In the 2008 campaign we had a similar Bad Media Reporting sub-forum of which I added some threads that cataloged, summarized and proved the spin. In cases, I was able to list the spin of each article based on different criteria, such as:

"Uses of derogatory labels for Ron Paul supporters"
"Uses of derogatory labels for Ron Paul"
"Degrades opportunity for success"
"Misrepresentation of Ron Paul's positions"
"Unsupported accusations"
"Use of "guilt by associate" tactic"

When you point it out, and add it up, it really sets off.

Here are some examples:

Capitol Hill Blue misrepresents and degrades Ron Paul and supporters

hahaha. what a compelling argument! i'm sure people will be convinced.

this is what will happen: people are going to try different things. some projects will fail, some won't. people will keep doing the things that work. those who make mistakes will learn from them.

i personally think it's a good idea to document it. it doesn't use a huge amount of energy, because it's just 2 or 3 people that do a lot of work, and many people who do little contributions every now and then.

from my point of view, it isn't worthless. look at what documenting the shenanigans of Fox did. they're being humiliated all over the globe. they'll be more careful in the future. it's good to have a collection of abuses by the media to throw on their faces at the appropriate time.

The part I will need help with is solidly and quickly refuting bias for each category. So far just from the blog roll these tags have already been cached. A short and concise refute or description (preferably with sources) to each will be needed. Anyone willing to help is welcomed.

Well, you are indeed correct, but we can either force them to tone it down or (hopefully they'll be stubborn enough) so discredit their crap that they must go out and either create or buy new, respectable outlets to replace the names they so soiled as to make them useless laughing stocks. Names like CBS, NBC, ABC...

Did anyone see Meet the Echo Chamber--er, I'm sorry, I mean Meet the Press Sunday? Well, for those who missed it, the Democrats have a plan to reduce the debt (or maybe that's just a plan to reduce the projected defecit, the Democratic Senator wasn't too clear and the host didn't bother to ask), a former governor of Michigan is ignorant that Harding and Coolidge created jobs by cutting the government budget, and some guy from cnbc created the Tea Party Movement. I guess next they'll spend their time telling us that GE, not Edison, perfected the light bulb.

As for names, I'm not sure we're there yet. How about:?

The main purpose is to document, categorize, and archive it.
The secondary purpose is for people involved in supporting RP to follow along and call out people en masse who did it (like we did against fox and made them apologize)

Sure. What do you think about the other idea?


What about incorporating the slingshot idea with http://www.unfaircoverage.com? (http://www.unfaircoverage.com/?) donate when smear pieces come out and go to the site to enter in the amount you donated and what article/video you donated it in response to... ???

then reports would show how much each media outlet has earned for ron paul :)

I think it is a very good idea, however I currently do not want to become that involved with other peoples money. Maybe I will change my mind as time progresses since its still very early in launch.

For now im encouraging people to follow on twitter or like posts. Then when blatant occurrences occur (ie the FOX CPAC swap) we can encourage people to bombard phones or emails letting them know we are watching and do not approve.

This is a quick search - some of these will be better examples than others, and there are better ones out there too I'm sure, but it's a start.

What I had in mind is that folks would come to your site to report how much they donated and what smear it was in response to - but not that they would donate to you. All it would take is a contact form - folks just include the link to the page on your site which has the smear piece that upset them, then type in how much. This data could update automatically. I actually know a guy who will program this - and I'll pay for it (doubt he'll charge though) if it turns out to be the idea. I'm sympathetic to the take it a step at a time approach for now though, just let me know.

That shows up in my mentions category. Im new to twitter myself, but usually you use @unfaircoverage in place of my name in response to something I post. I don't think the way you did it is inappropriate though at all and it does allow me to see what you write.

Is this blog at all prominent in any way? Similar to the YAF contributor blasting RP supporters this week, im trying to not give any traffic or coverage to outlets that are so tiny it would do them more good than harm.

Added this to the exclusion list. Added a favicon. Changed the wording to something a little more common. Thanks for the suggestions and participation.

My pleasure.

Not sure if you can use this or not, but it's pretty damning IMO:

Five potential runners will appear tomorrow at an event organised by the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition in the state capital, Des Moines. They include big names such as former House speaker Newt Gingrich, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, as well as outsiders such as the Tea Party favourite, businessman Herman Cain.
