Awesome! Thanks for the heads up.

[sailingaway]

Thank you!

[thehighwaymanq]

Hmmm. Now the question- do I stay up for this interview? Haha I am not tired at all!

[pauliticalfan]

Are you sure he's gonna be on? Total black out so far.

[thechitowncubs]

This is good news.

[RileyE104]

He WAS mentioned as a top-tier candidate in Iowa but other than that there's no sign of him on the show... Last minute re-schedule?

[hellsingfan]

Ya i'm still awake waitin for it.. This is ghey!

I don't think he's on. Not one mention of him.

[kahless]

Was he on?

[invisible]

not yet

[Jackie Treehorn]

This is redick.

[Kords21]

They'll probably just have him on for 30 seconds saying "Ron Paul finished 2nd in the straw poll. How do you feel about Pawlenty dropping out?" Then, "Sorry congressman, but we're out of time." Fade to black

[smartguy911]

any link to live stream?

[bebliss]

They had a 7 minute segment on the straw poll & analysis, and Dr. Paul wasn't even mentioned once.

[Bruno]

He should state it was an honor to lose to a great country singer like Randy Travis.

[AmberH]

Agreed!

[libertybrewcity]

Was he on?

[hrdman2luv]

This morning on MSNBC, the talking head was talking about Michelle Bachmann. Said she catapulted to the top. Then mentioned Rick Perry and Mitt Romney as if they were 2nd and 3rd. I sent them an email.. Probably won't get read. But none the less, sent one anyways...

[trey4sports]

was he on?

[realtonygoodwin]

??

[Esoteric]

wtf? Was he on? toob?

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

A lot of people watch C-SPAN, believe it or not. When they take callers/tweets, we need to mention Ron Paul.

[libertybrewcity]

Was he on???:D

[JK/SEA]

I DVR'd the show. Just fast forwarded through it. Didn't see Ron.

[hellsingfan]

Answer: He wasn't on.

[JK/SEA]

What happened?...anyone know?...

[Napoleon's Shadow]

Tube?

[stefank]

Don't trust ronpaul2012.com sometime last week they said he would be on Fox's morning show and he was never on

[JK/SEA]

Tube?

TU-be or not TU-be,,,that...is the question...

[Pheonix]

They canceled on him...


So I asked Paul Monday if the media blackout disturbed him,

“It did disturb me, but it was not a total surprise,” he replied. “The result at Ames was significant; it might well have propelled us to the top tier. The media cannot change that.”

Though the media can, of course, change that since we get to determine who the top tier is.

“It is hard for them to accept,” Paul said of his showing at Ames. “I had one interview scheduled for this morning, a national program, but they canceled. It is shocking to be told nobody wants you.”

That show has such an enormous audience too. Damnit.

[IPSecure]

So, I recorded their lame tv production to see Dr. Paul.

Seems to be a head game, more like a punch in the face, watching the tax payer funded government propaganda...

[smartguy911]

This saddens me :-(

Did you watch it? Did there seem to be any gap where an interview should be?

[angelatc]

This is a conspiracy between the party and the media. I'll bet everything I own that the party told the media that if they mention Paul, they'll get no access to the other candidates and no advertising dollars either. And rather than come forward with that story, they kowtowed to their masters.

[rich34]

Imo, the establishment or whatever you want to call them is trying to send a signal that they're not going to let Ron get any traction whatsoever. The truth is Ron probably won the dag on straw poll, but they obviously aren't going to let the perception of him possibly being able to win get into the minds of the voters. As it has been said, they are scared to death and they know they have to stop it from spreading. It's a shame really. These people make me sick...

[eleganz]

Don't fret guys, things like this can only make us STRONGER!

Not really a gap, they more than covered the missing blonde, a shark bite victim, and some kid who was lost while camping. Almost forgot - they showed a little dog that was reunited due to the dog having a microchip...

Amazing that they have time for this spew, but not for the only solution to our problems...

Chucky Todd did mention that if Perry does not 'gain traction', that Christie and some guy from Wisconsin would be waiting in the wings...

(They keep throwing 'chit to see what sticks. Fricken MSM)

Black This Out Moneybomb AUG 20TH

Fight be back will. So loud they will NOT be able to ignore us.

The time has come.

do you think annoying people is going to benefit ron paul's campaign?

[D.A.S.]

It is heartbreaking to see Dr. Paul cancelled on, but I doubt he's a stranger to that. Most of the media effectively represents what Dr. Paul is against, so it's little wonder that he's being snubbed by their masters, although I didn't think it would be like absolute silence. A wider audience would have been nice.

What is exactly annoying about his post?! If there is something, I'm certainly missing it.

i didn't say the post is annoying, what i'm saying is that there has been a lot of acrimony over how many of ron paul's supporters spread and defend their views

it turns most people off

[lucky_bg]

Ok, let's then shut up and do nothing, so we are sure not to hurt anybody's fragile feelings...

[bolidew]

This f**king sucks.

being obtuse just demonstrates the validity of my point

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the more I see, the more I believe this is indeed possible.
