    Why would someone say, "if you want a candidate that doesn't flip-flop, vote Romney?" Romney is the only one being called a flip-flopper. Clearly not edited.

    Everyone needs to get over the media bias. They will never be on our side with a few exceptions. The so-called mainstream media is owned by our enemies so stop wasting your time moaning and groaning about it. They are as much the enemy as anyone else. This fight has to be taken to the people directly so STOP spinning your wheels expecting the enemy to do it for us. It's a waste of time! They need to be exposed to the people so they become irrelevant.

    Are we sure this is real? I have trouble believing they would show the tweet if they were going to lie about what it said..

    I did not see the show so this is pure speculation on my part but I would wager they were probably discussing Romney a lot during the show and the host simply goofed. Cspan has been the most fair to us of anyone so I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was a simple case of human error.
    "Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people
    designed to make of their victory,
    there would have been no surrender at
    Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me.
    Had I foreseen these results of subjugation,
    I would have preferred to die at Appomattox
    with my brave men, my sword in my right hand." - Robert E. Lee to Governor Fletcher S. Stockdale (D-Texas), 1870

    People make mistakes. Give him a break. Sounded honest, he just read it wrong.

    If you constantly want to make yourself a victim it's not hard.

    This video is not blatant at all. If they were making a purposeful decision they would have picked out a pro-Romney tweet. That's called a slip of the tongue and everyone does it.

    Exactly, I'm 99% sure that was not intentional, no need to exaggerate/jump to conclusions. There's enough real bias against Ron Paul in the media to focus on without wasting time on things like this. I think the most anyone can do to help here is send CSPAN a polite message asking them to correct the error.

    Is this real? CSPAN changing pro Ron Paul tweets to Pro Mitt Romney tweets?

    Guy posts a pro Ron Paul tweet on CSPAN web site.

    "Hey America if you want a candidate with viable plans who will not flip flop you will support and vote for Ron Paul"

    CSPAN newscaster reads the tweet on the air and changes Ron Paul to Mitt Romney.

    Video of this actually occurring here

    I think that might have been an honest mistake. He was too used to having the name Mitt Romney on his tongue that it just slipped out!

    why does it seem that the mistakes are always AGAINST Ron's interests...

    does anyone know any mistakes taht worked for Ron? lol

    C-SPAN's facebook page blacked out Ron Paul. Trust me, they're not on our side.

    For someone who gets blacked out by the media, they sure do mess up Ron Pauls stories, feeds, tweets ect. ect. when they do say his name.

    Because Ron Paul is always in the right - therefore, any mistakes must necessarily go against him!

    Seriously, though, think about it. Since Romney, Obama, etc. are almost always in the wrong, any mistakes made with respect to *them* will more likely than not make them look better than they deserve (this C-SPAN thing is a perfect example).

    Seems like a mistake to me. I mean seriously, the poor guy has to have the most boring job in all of media. I am sure his mind wanders a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he would have said "Eisenhower"

    I can't think clearly after seeing this.

    Already posted in Media Spin.

    In all seriousness, if you can't think clearly after seeing that video, you really need to learn to relax. A guy made a mistake, nothing to lose sleep over. Step away from the computer and go take a walk.

    I'm better now.

    It's tools like this that convert people that think we're paranoid. It will give fence sitters a push in our direction. Call it an, "..ahh I get it" moment. I just want everyone to see and share this video.

    Nah. The guy's eye and body language reveal guilt, to be quite honest.
