After successfully hijacking the energy and ideas of the original Tea Party movement that was started by Ron Paul supporters, the usual suspects are back to playing their old games again. Sublte but effective, (aired a different year reaction).

can somebody bump this thread everytime a lemming claims FOX isn't trashing Rpaul this year?

We saw hannity do it 24/7 in 2008. Every poll Rpaul won, must be rigged. All the crowd support, well, somehow they faked it. Sounds like they'll be doing it again. At least we don't have any FOX fans defending this kind of selective editing here on getbig this time.

no need to call out names this early in the day But we had some folks who said FOX didn't trash Ron Paul last time. They should be skullf**ked with a pick axe for their ignorance. But we can just bump this thread instead. less cleanup.

Supporters have done it again, driving ‘Fox News Caught‘ to #1 in Google Trends this Wednesday, February 16, 2011, to make sure the rest of the media pay attention to the deception that was played on Congressman Ron Paul following the 2011 CPAC conference. Paul, the most Constitutionally-conservative member of the House, won the CPAC straw poll for the second year in a row, but Fox got caught playing a dirty trick by broadcasting an old CPAC clip where Romney-followers booed Paul. As Paul Joseph Watson summarized in his article, Fox “deceptively represented Paul’s 2011 CPAC straw poll victory with footage from 2010 event at which Mitt Romney supporters had loudly booed result.”

Fox News Caught Running Old CPAC Footage After Ron Paul's Straw Poll Win?

Dos Equis · « **Reply #14 on:** February 16, 2011, 06:10:56 PM »

If someone aired 2010 coverage in place of the 2011 results, they should get fired.

That said, the man is never going to be president. He is never going to win the Republican nomination for president. He is never going to win a state primary or caucus, including the primary in his home state. Didn't he have to fight to retain his House seat?

What these straw votes the past two years show is bloc voting works.

I like the man, but this notion that there is a media conspiracy to suppress him, and that this conspiracy is the reason he isn't a viable candidate, is simply untrue.

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2011, 06:16:27 PM »

I like ron paul and agree w him on most issues, however, the reality is that the same opoulation that will vote for obama and the hope and change scam will not vote for the message ron paul is selling.

All the libs love the anti war stuff, but when you tell them rp favors gutting welfare entitlements and their entire sugar mama gubmint they will just as quick attack him as they do palin.

Qft!

Guys... you put obama and ron paul on the same debate stage in October 2012.

Obama talks about the need to spend more money to get outta debt.

Ron Paul looks america in the eye and says it's time to stop giving away borrowed $ to other countries and stop the bullshit wars. And he says nothing else.

Ron Paul wins that election.

There is plenty of proof that certain outlets are purposefully trying to relegate Ron's messages/influence out of the mainstream. He wont be elected because the public still has a long way to go before it wakes up but at least the wheels are in motion and there will be a chance for future candidates that share his points of view and integrity to win the presidency.

Bullshit. They wont attack him like Palin unlike her he is very intelligent and articulate.
And its FOX that is trying to make him look like he doesnt have a chance because they want another corrupt neocon in the white house.

How can you say there is no media conspiracy

FOX news is the most watched media outlet!!!

Please whork - the media loves ron paul when they can use him to trash the gop and wars, but the second he starts talking about slashing and burning the govt, they will turn on him and trash him 24 7 as bad as they do palin.

You are being naïve to think otherwise.

33, do you feel Palin is just as prepared and competent to be president as RPaul?

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2011, 04:41:06 AM »

No of course not, but he will be made into an equally polarizing figure and media villan the day he tries to get rid the nea, dea, epa, pbs, npr, taxpayer funded abortions, hhs, batf, etc.

You people really are ignorant to this game if you think anything otherwise. Ron paul is used the media as a foil to attack others, when he himself becomes the real threat, they will aim their sights at him and he will at best get 30 percent support nationwide.

240 is Back · « **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2011, 04:51:01 AM »

doesnt matter if they attack him.

when he has that platform - the national audience - and he speaks directl to america - suddenly everything the pundits say goes away.

When palin had that national audience, she fumbled thru rehearsed stump speeches and then whined about media persecution. NO WAY ron paul whines and plays that victim card. He'll shrug it off and say "Of course the media dislikes me - I'm going to take away their influence - from fox to nbc - in govt matters". Palin ain't gonna say that about the media... hell... she WORKS for the media. She's part of that machine that victimizes her - and FOX is included. We've seen Oreially rip her up a lot in the last year.
