In the "Tea Party Express" CNN debate last night, Wolf failed to ask the one candidate on stage who has been criticizing the Fed and challenging the Fed chairman in House hearings for decades the question about "Should the Fed be audited?" Could he make it anymore obvious that the media is trying to ignore Ron Paul in these debates?

Anyone have a clip of Wolf interviewing Ron after End the Fed came out? I seem to recall he was on there for his book tour.

It really is shameful. Not one person on stage would have been talking about the Fed were it not for Ron Paul bringing it to the forefront in the 2008 election season, and with HR1207. He has more legitimacy on the issue than anyone on the panel. Wolf also neglected to address Cain as a former Fed member. And Bachmann basically repeated information that would not have been known without Ron specifically pushing for a Fed audit.

Wolf knew Ron Paul authored the end the fed bill. Has it ever occurred to anyone that he was trying to see how many others agree with Ron?

It's entirely possible. The problem with the argument is 99% of the people watching don't know: Ron wrote a book called End The Fed, Ron authored HR1207 to Audit The Fed, Ron's been trying to Audit The Fed for over 30 years, what the Federal Reserve even is.

Even people who don't like Ron Paul know the Fed is his wheelhouse. They may have just assumed everyone was familiar with that.

Were that his motive, he could have said, "Congressman Paul, it sounds like they are parroting what you have said for decades. You started this debate against the Fed with HR1207 and wrote a book called End the Fed. What have you to add to this discussion?"

Instead, they were all allowed to jump on the bandwagon, with many viewers not knowing that Ron was the one holding the reins.
