"That's in part because he's raised a ton of money, and in part because of the passionate following he has on the Web. It's one reason we're posting my interview with Paul only on the Internet, where the debate about Paul is very active."

John Stossel probably wanted it to air on tv but management said no.

Excuse me, I have to go puke in a trash can. That was a horribly disgusting excuse.

Nice great cop-out. We don't see through it completely. This should actually be more offensive than it is pleasing :rolleyes:

Too bad it's not on TV. It's quite a good interview. When RP is given the chance to explain his views, he's really impressive.

Ask ABC if it also will refuse to televise people who are too popular in person (Bill Clinton? Mike Huckabee?).

looks like the "libertarian" john stossel won't be getting a position in Ron's cabinet anytime soon.

Sorry john, you had your chance.

Probably.


Guys, it may be because there are guys on a higher pay level than Stossel who gets to call what gets aired and what doesn't. It seems that this may be the case here.

Jaundiced journalism at it's best.

I think many are recognizing that we are a very powerful and passionate community. They want our eyeballs and they want our emails. That is why everybody and anybody is putting up all kinds of on-line polls (that don't matter) so that they can get our email addresses. That is why they are only posting Ron's interviews only on-line so that their hits and ratings goes up.

But that is fine. We know that. We want to fix the country, while they are undermining it by rigging the reporting, polls etc. I just cannot wait to see Sean Hannit, for example, and his style on TV once Ron Paul is the president. I think that some media are hedging for that possibility and are increasingly being "nice" to us.

If Ron Paul get elected then it means the MSM missed the boat and the internet is more important.

If you want to be top dog in the MSM you have to be the first to respond to trends, which will mean being ahead of the internet. First Big group to realise this wins for the next five years of TV ratings.
