"Ron Paul loyalists have been vindicated. After months of observations that the mainstream media was ignoring the libertarian standard-bearer, a new study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism shows just that: the Texas Congressman, who has consistently polled in the high single digits -- Real Clear Politics's aggregate poll currently has him at 8 percent -- has received the least overall coverage of any candidate. From May 2 to October 9, Paul appeared as the "primary newsmaker in only 2% of all election stories."

I bet half of that 2% was when they were talking about him being blacked out after Iowa, so the real number is probably 1%

I am going to put the pieces together for a campaign, to strike at media advertisers to take place right after the money bomb. I will gather some of this evidense and write a form letter for email to provide along with phone numbers. We should swamp the media's advertisers with a black out of their products until there is a change. I will have this done by the end of the week.
