Let's get RP on "The News Hour"

[SeanEdwards]

I just found the feedback link on PBS's "The News Hour" program, and I submitted the following message:

"There has been a huge amount of internet buzz about presidential candidate Ron Paul, particularily since the second Republican party debate. Many commentators and webmasters have blamed this surge in Ron Paul web traffic on an organized campaign by Ron Paul supporters to distort the apparent support for their candidate.

Is the Ron Paul traffic the result of a small number of tech savvy "spammers", as alleged by mainstream media outlets? Or is this a real surge of grassoots support that is being attacked by a deliberately false disinformation campaign by big media?

I think the above topic would make for a very interesting and timely news story for the News Hour to explore. I hope you'll agree."

To me, this sounds like the kind of story the News Hour people like to report on, and I think it could be a strong way to counter the efforts of the people screaming "spam" all over the internet.

If you agree, then I urge you to submit your own feedback to the "News Hour" asking them to investigate this story. Here's a URL for feedback:

Wouldn't Dr. Paul be against federal funding for PBS.? Maybe they wont be so keen on having him on?

I thought PBS was funded through donations from viewers like you.

This is the "News Hour" we're talking about, not Fox news. They have some integrity. They're not going to exclude a candidate because they think he wants to cut off their funding.
