Ron Paul Media Blackout Confirmed

Thoughts?
It does not take a research center to disclose this (or validation from one).
:censure:
Media blackouts happen regarding a variety of subjects. It is par for the course if one is to entertain news media as a source of information. Being ignorant of this fact, in denial or obtuse to it as general practice across a wide variety of topics and not merely the topics one favors is quite sophomoric.
It is an very real and unfortunate part of today's society.
:2twocents:
The real question is why have this years' plethora of candidates not effectively engaged in use of the long tail, thus rendering corporate media useless?
Crying about mainstream media in a day and age where effective mobile communication and alternative media can topple governments is silly.
Mind you that last comment is somewhat tongue in cheek.

If they aren't BS, it's probably a result of the blackout. If you don't keep saying someone's name on television, the American public tends to forget about them.
I hate this place sometimes.
Well, I can confirm the blackout is still ongoing, without a single fucking mention of "Ron Paul" after the debate concluded and CNN "analyzed" it. They mentioned all other 6 candidates. They simply refuse to mention his name. They couldn't make it anymore obvious of their bias against him, jesus.
I think this was intentional, but he's also not polling any where near what RP and other supposed top tier candidates are.
Also, tomorrow is a donation day. You can pledge to donate here
According to Trevor Lyman, who helped organized the big money bombs 4 years ago, there have been more pledges this time around than on Ron's record setting 6 mil dollar day. Hopefully it will turn out huge.
Over $100,000 in donations the first 30 minutes alone.

They do it rather shamelessly, if anyone ever mentions him they all kind of laugh him off non-seriously. Lame.
