Although BBC is not viewed much in the USA, I decided to press them on RP. This is the reply I received immediately below (see bottom for original message I sent):
Thank you for your email. We will be watching Ron Paul's poll numbers
closely and if there's any sign that he is becoming a leading candidate
we will act accordingly. In the meantime, we are concentrating our
resources on the leading candidates.

COMMENTS: I demand an explanation. Ron Paul has been consistently
polling ABOVE Giuliani in the Iowa polls. All articles relating to Iowa
are airbrushing Ron Paul out of the picture. This is unacceptably
inaccurate and downright misleading. In fact I find this practice
itself deserves media attention from the BBC, especially at this crucial
stage in the presidential primaries.

I would respond with RP's statistical tie for third and actual tie with Fred Thompson in Iowa, higher than Thompson in New Hampshire, and 11% in South Carolina polls.

I have complained to the BBC twice by e-mail and once by letter. Both the e-mail responses are identical to what you have received. I'm still waiting for a response regarding the letter I sent them
There is a total 'lockdown' in the UK media. Apart from some minor comment in newspaper blogs, Rop Paul has been totally removed from the editorial content of all our leading newspapers. The Times is owned by Rupert Murdoch, so don't expect to see RP get any exposure there.
BBC coverage is similary pathetic, a papagraph or so on the website and that's about it.
The absolute last thing the powers that be in the UK will want is RonPaul's ideas of limited government,freedom and liberty getting into the heads of the British people.
This is strong evidence that the media in the UK is being controlled by unforseen hands. The UK is now a totalitarian state in my opinion. It is not a free society anymore and we certainly don't have a free press.
Are you worried? You bloody well should be

I already did. Pointed out that his national standing should have no bearing on the articles which specifically refer to Iowa polls (I used that hyperlink as my reference for basis of complaint). I also used some European humor... "isn't it going to look a little strange when it turns out he does well in Iowa, after the data you used in your articles"... etc.
