Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: Where Isn't Ron Paul? Where Isnt Ron Paul Author: Michael Kraft http://Freemarketnews.com gives us this great story on the censorship of Ron Paul. Almost every independent media outlet and cultural outlet has 5 times the Ron Paul related traffic and conversation than it does for Rudy Giuliani. I can verify this personally with the thousands of visitors to this site daily Ron Paul is nearly double that of all other traffic topics. The people and the web are fascinated by Ron Paul and my stats prove that to me. I dont mean this to be an endorsement, though I do support the man, but this is a fact that is strangely evident on the web as opposed to hidden on other media sources. Another in a series of media screw ups? Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex) appeared on the Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report” last night, but this morning he’s there “in name only.” His video has apparently disappeared. Ron Paul seems to be on a “run of bad luck” with the mainstream media. CNN has been especially hard on him. The network falsely accused Ron Paul of “air-plane elitism,” (for flying first class) killed an on-air graphic “straw poll” showing he won the recent GOP debates, and “disappeared” a post-debate web-page with numerous positive Ron Paul comments. Now - early Thursday morning, June 14, 2007 - Ron Paul has disappeared once more. FMNN feedbacker writes, “Interestingly enough, Paul’s interview video seems to have disappeared from Comedy Central’s site, replaced with a duplicate interview of a Dr. Gershon who wrote a book about the digestive system. Also interesting is that all of the video links have the faces of the interview-ees clearly visible in thumbnails, while the mis-atributed Ron Paul interview has a still of Colbert himself gesticulating. Was traffic too much they had to take it down? Or is this another part of a deliberate media blackout by the major players?” When FMNN checked, as of early Thursday morning, The Ron Paul Video clip at Comedy Central was still playing Dr. Gershon’s interview. Too bad for Ron Paul, as the video likely would have gotten considerable play right after his appearance on the program, last night. Ron Paul’s small-government, constitutionalist message has met with overwhelming approval on the Internet and is making good progress in critical states of New Hampshire and Iowa, sources close to the campaign say. He recently finished first among all non-Mormon candidates in a Utah straw poll. One assumes this latest media mishap will be rectified shortly. Unless it has already been adjusted, the mis-identified Comedy Central video can be seen here (with nearly 3,000 views and “four stars,” even though misidentified as of 8am ET): Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
