What the heck is going on?

I'm in South Korea. I woke up today and went to yahoo, MSNBC, CNN, etc.

There's no mention anywhere of the money bomb. Nothing!

Even scrolling down through 20 plus articles and no mention. This is outrageous.

Are you guys back in the states getting any news. Sometimes I get different coverage here in Korea. I certainly hope so.:mad:

You guys are spoiled by the instantaneous information structure of the internet. Print media takes at least 6-8 hours to catch up to a story like this which does not involve someone falling off of something and dying or a tanker truck exploding. Expect the real effect of this to hit tomorrow and the day after.

I'm certain it will be covered on "The Situation Room" tomorrow afternoon.

Maybe the evening news will produce a bump. I don't think I'm spoiled here in South Korea...unless you are referring to all of the government censorship of all the TV shows you watch that are 1 hour long there and 45 minutes long here.:mad:

After the Sunday morning talk shows close up on Sunday morning, there is little to no political news generated during the day unless somebody dies.

Unless people are paying attention, it technically isn't news yet. There will be news releases and a lot of PR around the news conference tomorrow.

Welcome to the Mainstream Media's uncanny ability to manipulate and hit the snooze button on your consciousness. Are ya surprised?

It's sorta old news... Ron Paul can raise money. At some point this money has to translate into higher poll numbers otherwise it's not really news worthy.

Are you donating because of news or because of Ron Paul?

With that said it’ll be all over the cable news network tomorrow….

I doubt there will be much coverage of this. Remember "They aren't allowed to talk about the minor candidates" and they seem to keep changing the definition of minor.
I've learned so much watching this campaign and have become even more cynical about the media. I wouldn't be surprised when Ron Paul wins states it won't get reported much either.

If tomorrow is a dud, maybe the next thing to do is a sponsor-bomb. 40,000 people pledging not to buy anything from the top ten MSM advertisers on the weekend before Christmas might have some impact.

It's still early... they didn't cover November 5th much until the next day either.

this happened on Nov. 5th too - people started panicking over the lack of coverage on the money bomb day - just wait until tomorrow. We'll get the coverage.

There wasnt much news about nov 5th until we got about 3.5million . Now that we have broken the 4.3mill nov 5th haul the "MSM" will likely begin reports , probably when we reach 5mill

TBH, i wouldnt expect hardly any reports about it untill its over. All the media knew about this money bomb ahead of time. On nov 5th , they just woke up and out of the blue Ron Paul had been given millions. Wolf Blitzer was literally gasping for air

Guys simmer down. The total isn't done yet, and it's a Sunday. It will be all over tomorrow.

BOTH. We were hoping for a blow out today, that would catapult us into the spotlight. We needed to cause our brethren to wake up and realize that he really CAN win.

Keep in mind that the same thing happened on 11/5. The media coverage, which was ultimately excellent, didn't kick in right away.

If we break the all time one-day fundraising record (6.2 million), we'll get tons of coverage (that will probably bounce off into reporting on the Ron Paul blimp too)

Ahh, the memories. That was when $1M in a week was news worthy. Strange that that was only a few months ago.

keep in mind though that november 5 was on a monday. i think that makes a difference in terms of news coverage.
