Unreal.
May be an example of the kind of "Corporatist Fascism" that our candidate spoke about this morning. I wonder what kind of connection CNN might have to the Military/Industrial/Medical complex? Of course, the blogger is entitled to her opinions. In such a huge organization as CNN, is there not ONE journalist who favors Ron Paul? Would they suppress such a blog?

Although no less outrageous, this is not a true news article in the pure sense of the term. It's more like a political blog entry. Even still, it sure isn't very even-handed.
CNN is total crap, I've come to the conclusion. They regularly censor Ron Paul out of their beauty contest "political ticker", and when they do include him, it's usually a hit piece. Their web site deserves a boycott for trying to steer the election rather than just covering it like a legitimate news organization would.

It looks like the mocking and ingnoring phases are over, i think we're in the full out attack phase, if ghandi knew anything the next phase is where we win.

Rebecca Sinderbrand did not bother to explain WHY Ron said he would have opposed the Civil Rights Act = it violates private property rights. Ron explained that very clearly in the interview, but CNN chose to leave that information out.

I understand it is an editorial in blog form, but it was done by an "associate political editor" using CNN's name.
I have emailed the network to let them know how amazed I am they would allow that piece of tripe to appear on their website, for whatever good it will do.

I think the fact that journalistic opinion carries any weight at all is practically a sin. I don't care how long the tradition has existed - journalists shold report facts. Just facts.
I am mesmerized at our major media outlets who showcase the usual suspects on their front pages while Paul is relegated to 'Other Candidates'
Record Fundraising, Compelling Straw Poll Results, Facebook, MySpace, et al .....
The Media is controlled. We never hear about the IRAQ War anymore other than 'cheerful' stories of troops coming home to visit.
Sigh
Sad state of affairs in America.

Dear CNN:
As a media outlet, you should provide fair and unbiased stories.
You have shown clearly that you do not value that.
You have lost all viewship from us, and we will encourage others to not watch as well.
With not really any respect,
The Ron Paul Revolution.

I'm always amazed by these so called "professionals" ability to proofread. Is good grammar really that difficult? "he whether" rather than "whether he"? I mean, come on now. A sucky article no doubt, but the bad grammar makes it even more worthless.

I am going to write to the CNN editor and CC Ms. Sinderbrand asking for a retraction.
