[RP=RonPaul=RedPill]

Not coming. Last time it happened Ron Paul's poll numbers doubled. They learned their lesson. Won't happen again.

[McCraK]

i havent seen one news story about Dr. Paul or the Tea Party today. Seen plenty of media on McCain gettin support from Lieberman.

[constitutional]

Are you mad enough?! :mad:

We are up against the establishment. And no, I don't believe in conspiracy theories but this one is true. I've experienced it first-handed through our very own RP revolution.

The revolution will go on, mark my words!

[JMann]

If Lieberman endorsed Paul that would be on the news. Of course it would be covered from the angle that Lieberman has finally gone of the deep end and should be confined.

[pacelli]

Unfortunately we needed more TV coverage. Youtube and online articles doesn't reach people without a computer.

[Bison]

Won't the CBS evening news have a piece on it tonight? The campaign website said that they were with RP yesterday or something to that effect.

[tfelice]

While the Tea Party is the most important thing in the world to the hardcore RP supporters, it is so far down the list of importance to news editors it's likely to receive little if any coverage on the evening news.

There are a couple of Iraq stories today, the weather in the NE, McCain/Leiberman, The late night shows coming back on, etc.

As the MSM sees it, a overly enthusiastic bunch of RP supporters raised a lot of money again for a candidate who has no chance of winning.

I will ask you guys, if Alan Keyes held a rally and had 10,000 people show up or if Duncan Hunter raised a ton of money would you care?

[coboman]

For all practical purposes, there is none. There will be none.

yes. i would. that means they have support. why is it that everything ron paul is excelling in has become illegitimate?

Think we'll need to win an early primary first. Oh well, at least local news is covering us.

[terryp]

I've got Google news alerts and today there have been 17 stories in the news.
At least a dozen on the tea party and the 6 mil.
Even with Lieberman/McCain, unless there is other BIG news, tonight it should be mentioned all over.
Isn't Dr. Paul or his camp supposed to issue a statement.
CNN -Cafferty file is on it. Glenn beck is tomorrow.
Let us hope and pray that the news breaks our way for the next week.

[tfelice]

Then you are the polar opposite of a news editor. Events that happen in a campaign that don't effect the grand scheme of things are insignificant. So if Keyes had 10K people, or if Hunter raised 5Million it wouldn't make a dimes worth of difference on how the primaries turned out.

That's how they view events in the RP campaign. They see these things as the actions of a very small, but very vocal and fanatically devoted group of people. If RP had 15% or so in some national polls then it would definitly trump the McCain/Leiberman story, but since in their minds he is a non-factor the story is meaningless even if we raised 10 million yesterday.

[RP=RonPaul=RedPill]

If Huckabee or Giuliani broke all time records, you wouldn't hear the end of it till the primaries.

Does that mean that the MSM has a monopoly on reality? Only what they preceive to be important will be reported? We broke an effing all time record!

[Mandrik]

Dude, forget Ron Paul. Hucklebee has a Christmas ad, and it's totally original! Lets talk about that!

I wonder why that coincided.

Right because Huck, Rudy, etc = mainstream; Hunter, Keyes, & Tanc = longshot; Paul = fringe

[newbitech]

Stupid MSM not covering a record breaking fund raising event in one of the most important elections in US history.

The real story is that this happened because of 60,000 people all coordinated over the internet to do this. Not to mention the 25k first time donors and the 120k individual contributors this quarter.

Screw the money, look at the amount of people coming out in droves to make this happen! All right under the MSM nose without any mainstream coordination. MSM is officially gone the way of the dodo and is plain for all to see.

[Tom29]

Right because Huck, Rudy, etc = mainstream; Hunter, Keyes, & Tanc = longshot; Paul = fringe

He wasn't so fringe the first time he did it. ;)

[thePhilosopher]

CNN changed their tag-line from "Money for Nothing?" this morning on the RP story to something like "Big $$$ Day: Ron Paul Revolution" for the same exact footage and story. They just ran it. I'm thinking some people got on the horn and gave CNN an ear-full for their usual crap.

[dude58677]

Right because Huck, Rudy, etc = mainstream; Hunter, Keyes, & Tanc = longshot; Paul = fringe

Ron Paul won the WV delegation, this was ignored and it is delegates that win nominations.

[rg123]

Welcome to media propaganda if you thought it only exist in Russia and WWII then you are sadly mistaken. 90% of what you see on tv is propaganda its all around you on the radio as well. Ron could have raised 100 million and it would make no difference the gatekeepers who control the American Empire would never promote Ron.
