Hey guys, I'm trying to convince my father (so far, a Romney supporter...) that Ron Paul is the victim of media blackout, lies, and the "he can't win" propaganda. I've told him that there are plenty of instances in which the media hammers in the idea that Ron Paul can't win, but he claims to have never seen such instances, and doesn't believe the true extent of the situation.

I need a collection of the best videos of mainstream media to help prove this to him. I told him I'd find a couple from last election cycle, and more from the current election cycle. Obviously, I can do a search of YouTube, but if any of you know of some good ones that will help prove my case, I'd appreciate the link.

The above jon stewart clip shows a lot of individual clips from fox and cnn.

There are a bunch of other clips out there but a good way to search would be to go onto youtube and look for somebody who has already compiled a bunch on one video just like the jon stewart clip. Search "ron paul + media censorship/blackout/bias" and then click upload date as much of this stuff started after ames iowa so it is fairly recent as it relates to this election cycle.

You can go back to 2008 and show him stuff from the primaries and the things said about him on fox, cnn and other outlets as well if you want to go back even further. This has been going on for a long time.

From 2007 (almost exactly four years ago) during the Iowa Straw Poll:

You will probably like this the most in terms of making him think a bit about it.

In his own words, Ron Paul speaks about his Electability:

Listen carefully to the Audience Reaction when the question of "are you electable" is even posed. The crowd Boos the question.

Pew Research (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?310174-Pew-Research-Center-Media-Ignoring-Ron-Paul&highlight=pew+research) proved it scientifically :p

Check youtube for Jerry Day who made a really good video in '08 with charts and graphs. Very convincing.
