Lessons from Ron Paul


Ron Paul could have been Mitt Romney this year. He raised more money than the other Republican candidates. He attracts legions of fans on campuses across the United States. He is all the rage on Youtube. Yet, he is a lesson in the power of mainstream media.
Ron Paul has been blacklisted because of his strict interpretation of the Constitution. The media has deemed his ideas to be dangerou. Fox news began the blacklisting and was quickly followed by the other major networks. He has been withheld from debates, left out of news coverage, and ignored by the media. Without the media, you can not win an election. Check out the graphic that failed to even show him on the election results from Iowa. CNN also has done this in the past. Very disturbing. Even Jay Leno from the Tonight show felt sorry for Paul and had him on his show one night because he was black listed.
