After Ron Paul placed 2nd in the Iowa Straw Poll on Saturday only losing to Michele Bachmann by 152 votes, which ended up being less .9%, the national media completely “blacked out” Ron Paul from the airwaves. If this was a primary or a caucus, there would have been a recount! Even after Bachmann hired a Grammy award winning country musician to come perform at the straw poll and even after she bused in fans of the musicians and forced them to vote for her before they could view the show, she barely edged out Ron Paul and was touted as a frontrunner.
Now why would these pathetic excuses for journalists purposely go out of their way to black out Congressman Paul? Well, consider what would happen if Ron Paul became President. The pointless wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya would end and the media would have nothing to sensationalize as far as foreign threats go. The unemployment rate would fall and the economy would soar giving the media nothing to talk about as far as the economic crisis goes.
The fearmongerers you see on news stations are nothing more than parasites, who are incapable of creating anything of value. They feed on suffering and destruction and then relate stories of suffering and destruction to you. They are nothing more than second handers who would be jobless were it not for death, politics, and natural disasters.
The braindead talking heads on various media networks and their masters are obviously afraid of Ron Paul and they will never impart any fairness towards Ron Paul because unlike Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry, he will not bow down the system.
