It's all about the money trail.

I'm not attacking Ron Paul. Please, don't take it that way. Actually, I think Ron Paul was the best option right behind Obama, whom I supported. I'm also not stating that I like what they cover. I am only claiming that covering what they want does not qualify as lying, or covering up.

If you have questions, would like to argue, or want to know more about Ron Paul and the freedom movement, and would like to discuss things in more detail than can be accomplished in a 500 character YouTube comment, go to:

There are many of us there who would be glad to engage you in civil debate if you disagree with our concerns about the media or other issues, or would simply like something explained in greater detail.
MacabreTurtle, I'm looking at you.

The major media is lying by claiming to be "The Most Trusted Name In News" or "Fair And Balanced" while in reality they are anything but. I can understand if you like the things they cover and don't think they should cover Ron Paul or the very real freedom movement, but not all Americans think like you do and they are being left out in the cold. When we see the mainstream media blatantly ignoring or attacking Ron Paul while propping up their favorite candidate, we get angry. Know what I mean?

Ok, why is Ron Paul the only candidate whose media graph doesn't follow his search hits? You are right in that the networks are "showing who they like", but many of the American people, the ones who aren't "lazy", WERE doing their own research. That's what is shown by a large amount of Google search hits on Ron Paul. Even though the media refused to cover him, he was popular on the Internet anyways. The disconnect in net popularity and media coverage does not exist for any other candidate.

The video was on whilst typing those messages and I heard him basically saying that the amount of media coverage is correlated with there popularity. This may be true, but I still don't consider this to be anybody lying. I consider this to be the networks showing who they like, and the American people being lazy and not doing there own research.

... and my second post of "I fail to see your point," was also true. What was the point of...
"It doesn't matter if the searches are pro or con, there were millions of them, far more than Obama & Clinton in '07 and the media ignored it completely."?
Because, I missed it. I think stating I don't see the point sounded more mature and welcome than me giving the other option, a childish "so what?"

If I watched past the first minute, I would know what the conclusion even is. If the conclusion is simply that the media isn't showing as much coverage as what people search for on the internet, then... so what? You can't call that a cover up or lying. They're going to show what they want to show and that's how it should be. I don't see how I'm not making sense. My first comment was correct in telling that there is no correlation between there youtube searches, and, well, anything... (continued)

MacabreTurtle, if you had watched past the first minute, you would see that didn't use only YouTube as the basis for his conclusion. Google Trends showed a huge disconnect between the amount of web searches for Ron Paul and the media coverage he received. This phenomenon is not observed for any other candidate. And as to your "point", even if there was widespread hatred for Ron Paul, wouldn't the news media acknowledge this as well, and not cover it up? You aren't making sense.

5 stars! Favorited, added to playlist, and subscribed.
Amazing how all the hater-bots come out of the woodwork when they see a video that exposes the truth. Funny thing is, they call Ron Paul supporters "conspiracy theorists" or "obsessed robots" etc. but they are the ones spending all day on the net obsessively writing hateful messages about how much we are obsessed, not to mention coming up with conspiracy theories about how RP supporters are faking things! I've seen it time and time again. |
