MUST SEE A collage of misleading MSM headlines regarding Ron Paul Values Voters Win

There should be plenty of material for a part 2 for Jon Stewart. Feel free to add to compilation, which I am sure will grow.

Diminishing headling - "Non binding"



httx://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/cain-comes-in-2nd-to-paul-in-straw-poll-of-social-conservatives-santorum-places-3rd/2011/10/08/gIQAXtD3VL_story.html


He is the Republican party Presidential candidate, NOT the libertarian one.

Cain didn’t win, he came in a distant 2nd





httx://nation.foxnews.com/ron-paul/2011/10/08/paul-and-cain-win-values-voter-straw-poll


Wonder if Cain stuffed the ballots too? In FL??

Would they say that about Cain if he won, or did they when he won FL?

Nice big picture of Romney who came in 4th with 4% of the vote and of course diminishing and minimalizing Ron Paul, "least socially conservative"




httx://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20117706-503544.html


Marginized and ignored, Who came in first?? the winner is mentioned toward the end of the article and only once.



httx://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/10/09/herman-cain-social-conservatives-new-darling-at-values-voter-summit.html


So according to this rag, getting 2nd place is better?? And if they are useless then why did it help Cain with his national campaign as the articles mentions?!



httx://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/10/ron_paul_wins_values_voter_sum.html


Where 2nd place is a "clear victory". Also, he comes in double digits much more often than single digits.

They just can't resist diminishing his electability in the eyes of Republican voters as "just a libertarian that appeals to young voters".



httx://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/10/08/8226207-ron-paul-wins-values-voter-straw-poll


So the AP starts the whole "non binding" sound bite and the rest of the MSM parrots it

I really love the ones that say he appeals to young voters like that is a pejorative statement.

I mean who the $#@! would want young Republicans and a Republican party lingering around after the older Republicans die... that's crazy talk.

It's very important to have an independent media. Problem is, that is not what we have anymore. We have corporate media that has a vested interest in the government staying like it is and the wars continuing unabated. Just follow the money.

If you had any doubts that the Lame Stream Media was consolidated and owned by the Military Industrial Complex and Criminal Banking Elites....Well...what do you think now?

Like one man having all of the following on his resume?

NBC-MSNBC-GE-Federal Reserve-Obama Jobs Czar = Military-Industrial-Government-Financial-Corporate-Media Complex

To borrow a phrase from Admiral Mike Mullen, the mainstream media is a "veritable arm" of the unconstitutional system that has been hoisted over the American people.

A more powerful way to highlight the information in your screen shots is to highlight the areas of BS in paint with red, like what was done to the headlines and article excerpts on the opening post to this thread.

Ron Paul Sign Bomb Monday October 10, 2011
in less than 24 hours...

[Sentinelrv]

I really hope that when Ron Paul gets in, he does something so that the media loses its significance or the control that it has over the people. What is it that allowed so many of these media organizations to get so big in the first place? Do they all get money from the government?

[acptulsa]

What is it that allowed so many of these media organizations to get so big in the first place? Do they all get money from the government?

They get their money from corporate sponsors, not the government. The question is, is there a difference any more? After all, Washington's K Street is chock full of corporate sponsors. They're called 'lobbyists'.

And the media got so big because the growth of the federal government has led to state and local governments paling in comparison in terms of importance and newsworthiness. Which, in turn, led to national media growing in appeal as compared to local news media. Which, in turn, allows nationwide corporations, who have something to gain by advertising nationally and can afford to do so, to call the shots in the media people are actually paying attention to.

[Jtorsella]

See last sentence. This is the ONLY post where they mentioned Ron's victory, though this one is dedicated to an arguably less important straw poll.

[Give me liberty]

Cain wowed everybody He's Good? oh really says an unamed voter i guess Politico is pro Cain Freak now

I guess the mainstream news networks are all pro Cain now.

[unknown]

WOW. We're all aware of the media spin and censorship but wow, to see it presented like this...is crazy.

What I've made a pledge to do is to register with any of these sites assuming they allow comments and make sure my voice is heard. I also email the writers directly.

Also, slightly off topic, can someone teach me how to capture the web pages for re-post as done above? Thank you.

[KEEF]

It is crazy, how can so many articles say that the straw pole win is "useless" and yet in that same article say that it was a huge win for Herman Cain? Is it really true that in fact first is the worst, second is the best, and third is the one with the hairy chest?

[andrewjs18]

This is just terrible. The guy cannot EVER catch a break, which truly goes to show just how biased the MSM really is.

[Give me liberty]

See last sentence. This is the ONLY post where they mentioned Ron's victory, though this one is dedicated to an arguably less important straw poll.

I see what they did there nice little spin media fascists Yeah and Herman Cain paid his no where to be seen supporters to win in that Straw poll.

[Carole]

Ron Paul believes in free speech. Even when it is untrue and ugly.

[mczerone]

Ron Paul believes in free speech. Even when it is untrue and ugly.

Yes, but he also doesn't believe in the govt paying hordes of "PR" to influence the narrative being pumped out by the MSM.

FCC, especially for radio. It costs something like 100K just to APPLY for a radio station licence. If a channel isn't being used, it should be free to homestead -- just like other property. This would result in an explosion of free speech.

That would go a VERY long ways.

We have a bunch of homestead-able spectrum in New Zealand. It makes it mission-critical that your transmitter doesn't go off air for even a moment or someone else grabs the bandwidth insanely fast an boom your are out of business.

But yes the limited nature of the radio spectrum makes secured free-to-air bandwidth incredibly powerful.

That would be great....make sure that the lamestream media is always the LAST to be informed of events so that more people learn to look elsewhere for their news.

yeah, I could see how that would blow over, I can read the headlines now "Mr Constitution Contradicts Himself by Not Allowing Freedom of the Press"

[Birdlady]

+rep Good collection of articles here. It really shows you how they will stop at nothing to throw in those nice little jabs.

Even the articles with titles saying Ron Paul won, they mostly talk about the other candidates instead...lol

Alright.. so when did you actually have an independent media?

[LibertyEagle]

Alright.. so when did you actually have an independent media?

Most of it was independent when I was growing up.

[Conza88]

Most of it was independent when I was growing up.

So you consider the following... independent? lol

"There is one important area of American life where no effective freedom of speech or the press does or can exist under the present system. That is the entire field of radio and television. In this area, the federal government, in the crucially important Radio Act of 1927, nationalized the airwaves. In effect, the federal government took title to ownership of all radio and television channels."

Ron Paul has recommended you read the above book. I suggest you go .

you like rhetorical questions huh?

Amusing given the level of ignorance on display, both by yourself and others.
