I was very disappointed on Saturday listening to All Things Considered weekend edition. There was segment on the Republican candidates for president in South Carolina and there was NO mention of Ron Paul. Ron Paul has beaten both Rudy Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson in two separate state primaries, has risen more money than any other candidate, and now polls higher than Fred Thompson nationally. He also has more support from active military than any other candidate. The military is very important to those who live in North and South Carolina and I feel this omission leaves out an important voice in our state.
A large part of your segment covered the tax and spending record of the Candidates running. When you are talking about fiscal responsibility and don't mention Ron Paul it is clear to me that you are not doing a very good job presenting all the facts. He is the only true Republican conservative running and has never voted to raise taxes or unbalance the budget. And when I say never I mean never. Why would you not mention this? You even go so far as to attribute and idea that is Ron Paul's to Huckabee. Ron Paul was originally the only candidate to mention getting rid of the IRS, yet your story presented things in a manner where Huckabee was the lone candidate calling for these changes. I was beside myself trying to understand why you would ignore a candidate who has gotten around 10 percent of the vote.
I listen to NPR for a sane break from mainstream media outlets like CNN and Fox news. But it is apparent to me that your reporting isn't nearly as fair or balanced as I thought. I could spend ten minutes online finding out these facts about Ron Paul, yet you don't even take the time to mention them.
With this in mind I have decided to not donate money to public radio or NPR again until I can see that they take their job seriously covering politics. I'll also urge my friends, family, and fellow Ron Paul supporters to stop donations to NPR. If I can't find educated and balanced reporting on NPR I shouldn't spend my hard earned money supporting it.
Thank you for your time.
