I invite you to help push the story over the top.

http://politics.reddit.com/info/6669v/comments/ (http://politics.reddit.com/info/6669v/comments/) (Based on my incoming traffic I am able to measure a story's possibility of getting over the hump at Reddit or Digg. This story has that ability if you want to help.)

As many of you know the New York Times had omitted Ron Paul from a candidate scorecard at their website today.

That problem has been resolved.

Better yet, they have now removed Giuliani. (This might have something to do with the fact that he keeps finishing 4th, 5th, or 6th in elections.)

From this thread:

Looks like they weren’t willing to be on our documentary

http://politics.nytimes.com/election…lts/index.html

Subject: Need official statement on your website censoring Ron Paul from Primary Seasons Election Results (European documentary)

Dear,

We are writing this email to you regarding the censoring of Ron Paul on http://politics.nytimes.com/election…lts/index.html
Since he is not being mentioned there although he is considered top tier and won 2nd place in Nevada, we assume you are actively seeking to censor Ron Paul.
We are making a documentary in Europe on how the American media is manipulating the public and are seeking an official statement from the New York Times regarding this censorship.

Please reply with your statement within 7 days, otherwise we will mark down that you did not wish to address this issue.

Regards

I just realized this myself. Last night, I sent out an email to everybody in my address book railing against the media (copy of it below) and pointed everybody to the site. I then contacted NYTIMES and informed them i had done so. Good to see they finally came to their senses. Now it's time to let everybody in my address book to know why it has changed. :D


Now it's is really starting to tick me off. I can accept the fact that we came in 5th in SC but we also came in 2nd in Nevada and the MainStreamMedia is not allowing this fact to be heard. Actually they're going out of their way to try to cover it up. I just want everybody in my mailing-list to realize this and really ask themselves "WHY?". All I got to say is screw the Media. They are a worthless piece of wartime/peacetime propaganda tool in which they utilize the tactics of Nazi Germany's Propaganda department.



Quotes from Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda:

"The rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious."

"The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly ... it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”



Today, I was just told by a friend of my family, some may know her as Ruthy, that her husband while serving as a Marine in the first Gulf War used to write her letters advising her not to believe the News bc. they were either telling lies or not the whole truth about the events in the war. Now take this into the perspective of what we've been hearing about many serving in Iraq now complaining that their opinions have been getting entirely censored. I wonder if any of these soldiers were even given a chance to cast absentee ballots given that Ron Paul has received more donations from active and veteran military personnel.

On another note, if you voted for Ron Paul, I want you to realize that many in high positions believe your vote doesn't count or shouldn't even be considered just because they think they know what is best for America. And in doing so, they mute our voice also. Do not let this stand, be angry, be determined not to put up with this attack on this great Nation that our Founders had great hopes for and gaves a template, the Constitution, to build upon.

Please consider all I've stated above the next time you watch the so-called NEWS. Whether it be print or television, always take it with a grain of salt and educate yourself with books and the last truly free source of information on the net before they try to truly rewrite history and distort the truth before our very EYES!



NYTimes excludes Paul result from their Primary Results:

Thank you for listening

An hour and 1/2...it has been like that for over a week!. Misleading headline on that story and it was not after a single email. I am sure they got thousands of emails about that..one being one of mine after New Hampshire.
