I feel so helpless and very frustrated. The media is obviously biased against Ron Paul and it greatly influences what happens at the polls. I know its not all about the straw polls; It's a game of delegates. But on channels such as CNN, they air these delegate numbers that are simply not true. Most of the delegates have not even been chosen though they continue to flaunt these "predicted" numbers as actual delegate numbers.

The message the media sends out, that this is a 2 man race, influences people. I just saw on CNN where they asked a room of voters (20 or so) who thinks it's still a 4 man race; one person raised their hand. Then he asked who thinks it's a 2 man race; every hand but one went up. This just makes me so mad especially since I feel so helpless about it. Ron Paul has the message that America needs. Why are we as a nation so afraid of change, liberty, THE CONSTITUTION, and if nothing else, an HONEST and CONSISTENT presidential candidate?


I want to know yalls thoughts on the anti-Ron Paul nation. And if you are not a Ron Paul supporter; Why not?

People aren't afraid of change, they're just too stupid to pick the right kind

None of the others are real "change". It'll be the same crap, different face. How can anyone trust these other candidates when they've always flip-flopped and change their minds......Just like Obama. He promised all these things before he got in office, then he changed his mind when he got in. "all the troops home in 18 months". BULLSHIT. It's been 4 years and we still have troops in over 140 countries with our mindset that the world is ours to police. Why not trust one that doesn't change and has been consistent? I just don't understand how anyone could be against Ron Paul, or how could anyone honestly say they trust one of these others to lead our country?!

Mainstream media is utter garbage. I don't watch any of it.

It's just a propaganda instrument. Stay away at all costs.

Ron Paul never had a chance. I just hope his ideas are loud enough to influence the future...he has even said as much himself.

That's a fairly ridiculous blanket statement.

Well normally I'd qualify that and say "except Freedom Watch", but that got cancelled.

Should be fairly easy to provide counterexamples in that case, no? Would you like to provide some?

Counterexamples to what? I suppose I was just saying that "the media" is not controlled by any 1 entity. They are companies with a job to report news, most with political associations and viewpoints yes....but the same could be said about any of us.

It's the responsibility of the individual to look at all the different reports and sides to make a conclusion. I watch a lot of news...CNN, FOX, BBC, Al Jazeera ....each of them have something to say.

I don't think that contradicts anything stated. Can you clarify what you meant when you called the following a "ridiculous blanket statement":

I meant that I don't agree that mainstream media is garbage, and that it shouldn't totally ignored or avoided. It should be digested with thought though....and I think most people do this.

Except they don't, they accept it as the gospel just because its on TV. I mean my Grandfather a regular Faux listener, said the reason he accepts what the O'Reilly's or the Megyn Kelly's say because they're paid to know it.(To this day I still can't understand this reasoning) They trust their source, and its usually a singular source, to give them the truth, when really its just the truth that Elitists want to give them.

But the people who actually watch MSM regularly is a very small percentage of society so yeah. Most are uninformed and like to stay in that ignorant bubble they've created for themselves, much more important things going on like what's Jennifer said on Facebook or what the next Bieber is doing or some such thing.

Fair enough, I guess you are right. Ok let me revise my point and perhaps now reinforce an aspect of what I was rebuking, avoid a single source of media :P

Media is not bad, they merely deliver news to us, it's our responsibility to use it correctly.

yeah.. they all say what comes off the AP or Reuters wire... which is usually a statement released from the white house or pentagon.

Welcome to the nightmare.

Waking up hypnotized human beings is no easy task. Logic tells me it will not happen without a crisis or catalyst of some kind :smoking:

Sadly we all agree with you but we still hold out hope but with each Primary coming and going and RP hasn't won any of them, so its frustrating, almost like its done on purpose to lower RP supporter moral. I cannot believe Santorum and Gingrich are even in this race, and I can't believe how well Santorum does in these "beauty contests". Its fucking incredible, so incredible that I have to wonder if these primary results are all busllshit. The media does a bang up job of predicting the winners based on their fucking lame ass exit polls, but when all the votes are tallied the MSM is always right. I gotta call bullshit on these primaries and their results. I suspect there is mass voter fraud, especially since most of the US states are now using electronic voting machine it seems to be easier to manipulate the vote than ever before.

So the machine is clearly against Ron Paul and he will not be our Prez ever but there still is hope and RP has been spreading a very positive message that is ringing true with a lot of Americans and that truth will carry on. The 2016 elections will be very interesting me thinks.

Heres a great video about the blatant MSM bias towards RP.

This pisses me off like you don't even know. I've definantly noticed it before, I've seen some of these clips live, but it's ridiculous. It makes me ashamed to be an American.
