Ron Paul is censored by the media

[vazar_da_priest]

why is he being censored, or has been censored? and is never reported on

many times he comes high in debate polls and isnt even mentioned?

i dont understand why ppl dont like him. a lot of the things he says makes sense!

i see ppl all over the internet posting in support of him, its all just very odd

the video is a bit old and biased, but still evidence of censorship

[tielknight]

He has been censored for quite a long time and the only way to see videos with him in it are to go online, very rarely you will see him on national television, but that is usually when they can cut and paste the video enough to skew what he is saying to make it look bad.

At what point in the video do you find evidence of censorship?

well not necessarily evidence, but there are major hints to it

There's both a lot of truth to this and a lot of Ron Paul trying to extend his base by getting people fired up about the evils of American media.

People do actually like Ron Paul.

However the media does not. He's calm, measured and a fairly reasonable guy. But that doesn't make him a good candidate in the eyes of the mainstream media because he doesn't fit into their specific agenda.

Fox openly supports a very conservative/christian/pro-business agenda which Ron Paul doesn't really cater to as a hardcore libertarian.

MSNBC on the other hand doesn't give him much voice because he's a Republican and doesn't support socialist values.



If you look at the scale of political affiliations, you have socialism and conservatism on on axis, covered by various TV channels from MSNBC to Fox, and you have totalitarianism vs. liberitarianism on the other axis, but which isn't really covered by any media. Aside from some crazy radio hosts you don't really have anyone promoting a fascist state or a highly liberal state.

Ok, where are the hints?

In spite of this, Paul is actually doing better in the race than it would seem.

Ron Paul would probobly just get assasinated if he became the president. My assumption.
OT: He's a threat to false charade the U.S. got going. That's why they are trying to work against him. The Media is the Governments Biaaatchz.

This is almost word for word what my brother says. I... don't think that would happen.

They probably just don't think that Ron Paul news will bring in the eyeballs that news about Perry, etc will.

Or they figure he's not going to get the nomination so why bother?

I think it goes further than that. It actually seems like they proactively want to stifle any chance of him getting the nomination.

I have some quick questions about Ron Paul if anyone has the time:

I hear a lot about his religious fanaticism more then anything when it comes to him, what exactly do they mean? I support the Gay rights movement and if her is looking to put them a step back then he concerns me. Also being atheist when I here that kinda thing that raises some red flags. They guy seems reasonable from what I have seen but you hear weird stuff about him.

Well look at the most recent debate, Ron Paul did very well. What do we keep hearing about though? A 10,000$ bet? How well Gingrich swatted away attacks that showed him for who he really is?

Then Ron Paul gets on MSNBC on Sunday morning and the guy just asks him over and over again about who is better Mitt or Newt, undermining Ron further by asking if hes going to run as a third party, when he clearing has a chance to make a run at the republican nomination.

Its really sad because if certain media (Fox) wants Obama out of the office so bad they cant elect someone who staunchly conservative or has bad values, the independents wont vote for them.

The only thing I've heard about his views on Homosexuality is about marraige, and he supports it. His words are "That even if he doesn't agree with it for Religious reasons he see no reason that Politics should be used as a tool to oppose it. People should have a right to do what they want to do and be who they are." Well, basically anyway. His beliefs that abortion should be prohibited is something I am strongly opposed.

Censored is a strong word. Censored would imply that they're actively ignoring him or trying to prevent people from hearing him due to the content of his message.

I think it's more like... He's a level-headed libertarian who doesn't say stupid shit or harass women. So they just don't care because the average American news consumer is still an idiot.

Okay that's a little better. The abortion subject is a hard one. I see both sides but a women's right to her body and it's functions stands out to me.

He himself is strongly against Abortion mostly due to his actual first hand experience at seeing abortions and being an OB/GYN. I dont want to turn this into an abortion debate, because this is a thread about Ron Paul exposer, I just need to say that he would leave it up to the states to decide of the legality of abortion (much like any of his policies).

I don't understand how he could have a hand in that though, it's all on the media is it not?

And yeah it's interesting, I try to read about him and watch recent videos of him on the internet but that's about all I can do to keep up. Between him getting swept under the rug, and the fact that 1/2 of the stories in the nightly news are about puppies or kittens, and the other half don't even give you very much information, there's no reason to watch the news anymore. I only turn on the TV for football these days.

The res of the republic party just seems like a circus to me besides Romney who just seems like he will do whatever he can to be president. I personally will vote Obama more then likely because hopefully he will grow a pair and get some things done now that he doesn't have to worry about reelection. Ron Paul would be the only one who really contends with him in my view.
