[ASDF991]

How do you "forget" to include the guy running 2nd in the polls.

Must have slipped the mind eh? :D

[fuzzybekool]

Mind boggling...

[BigByrd47119]

Yep, couple of facebook pages blew up their phones AFAIK. I called them as well...

[Tyler_Durden]

I believe this is the first admitted apology I've ever seen regarding an error/ommission of Ron Paul.

[heavenlyboy34]

lolz :D

[Philosophy_of_Politics]

This wasn't an accident, this is obviously planned to avoid prime-time viewers from seeing Ron Paul. We've seen enough of the tricks to know this.

We have transformed He Who Must Not Be Named into He Who Cannot Be Ignored.

Let the celebration begin!! :D

More than possible. The media have been proving for a long, long time that they understand that many more people read the incorrect story than the correction that comes later. Even so, they've been miscovering our man for a long time, and we have at least moved it to the point that they have to save face and cover their butts when they do. That is something for us to be proud of.

And it means they can only do it so often before we can string their corrections together like a necklace and wear them for all to see.

[Sola_Fide]

Yeah, this is standard operating procedure.

1. Lie or omit
2. Get called out
3. Offer apology that few people see or care about
4. Repeat process

It's time for elite style armed protection, scanning of perimeters, bomb sniffing dogs, etc......

They thought they could pull an Ames and nobody would notice...

[Nate-ForLiberty]

B*TCHES BETTA REKOGNIZE!

[libertyfanatic]

Never forget, never forgive.

[Bruno]

"There it goes again...". :D

[RM918]

Boswell did exactly what he was told.

[AlexAmore]

Reason #427 to move to NH:

- Get a libertarian to win NH's primary and the establishment will say we don't exist, don't mean anything, and question our American credentials. Secession ftw.

[Barrex]

Well in my country there is a law that says that anyone can demand retraction/correction/appology and read it at exact same time next day that lie was told.

So if in my country someone called Ron Pauls foreign policy isolationist people could send message correcting media that it is not isolationist and that is non-interventionist... AND MEDIA IS FORCED BY LAW TO PUT THAT retraction/correction/apology IN SAME SHOW AT SAME TIME. Is it same in USA?

*I know that they didnt lie in this case but I was just wondering.

If that happened in the US there wouldn't be anytime during the next evening to go over the news for that day. They would just be righting all the wrongs from the night before.

LOL...seriously? We were under communist MSM propaganda and we allow reporters to speak/write about anything but they MUST stand behind their words with facts/testemonies.... just like I or any other citizent would... You lie you suffer consequences. Well law is different from country to country.

actually, getting to step 3 in that list is a vast improvement

Dana Bash, for example, loops after step 2
CBS news, likewise

They call it accountability. In some countries its enforced by the government, however our First Amendment means that its enforced through the free market. If they lie, well call them out, and they dont fix it, we have the ability to inflict financial damage through no longer supporting their advertisers or watching their channel/segment.

Hm... interesting. From European point of view little strtange and not effective but you probably see our laws the same way.

My 17 year old son called as well.

[Tyler_Durden]

Stephanopolous blacked out Ron Paul on GMA this morning. That's huger than FOX2NOW.

[smtwngrl]

No, your law is good.

Your country has been under communist propaganda MSM,so the people are alert to that danger.

Here, though, the majority of people tend to believe what they hear in the media. Or if they think it is sometimes biased or slanted, they think it is because of the bias of the reporter. They don't expect deliberate lies or omissions.

There was a court decision that said the media can lie, they don't have to tell the truth. But most people don't know about that.

Mistake my ass... imagine if in 2008 they did a 1-hour show on the Democratic primaries, and omitted Hillary Clinton. There would have been a huge uproar, and at least 1 person would have been fired. The same should happen here.

BTW, Clinton was polling 13 points behind Obama just 2 days before the primary, and Clinton won NH.
