Jon Stewart: Why Doesn’t Ron Paul Get His Shot As Media Frontrunner?
Submitted by legalizeliberty on Fri, 11/18/2011 - 10:33Article at Mediaite:
Thursday night, Daily Show host Jon Stewart took a look at Newt Gingrich‘s recent jump in the polls (at 32 percent versus Mitt Romney‘s 19 percent and Herman Cain‘s 13 percent, in fact, according to the latest Rasmussen poll) and wondered how the media could have divorced itself from Gingrich when his campaign was on its metaphorical death bed.
Stewart took a stroll down memory lane, looking back on how almost each and every GOP candidate has enjoyed his (or her) time in the media spotlight. Every candidate, that is, except for Ron Paul. What gives?
Paul’s poll numbers, Stewart reminded viewers, have been fairly consistent. Plus, everyone else has had a turn!

Romney AND Gingrich are Rino's! Gingrich might be even be worse with some of the things he's done.
Don't Tread on Me
Newt's Record Contrasted with Ron Paul's
I think that the media's new-found obsession with Newt Gingrich is good news for Ron Paul because his record contrasts so favorably against Newt. I put together this comprehensive comparison of their voting records -- anytime you see an article or argument pro-Newt, it's the perfect rebuttal:

She actually said
"Abraham F****'n Lincoln" as an expletive. You don't get that too often on TV.
After seeing this...
It seems the best thing for Paul is to NOT be a media front runner. Everyone else they pick self-destructs.

Can anybody help? Where's Mox when you need him?
I've got a somewhat slow country, Satellite connection, and whatever Jon Stewart has at his website doesn't work at my connection speed.

Mods or whomever embeds videos,
when possible please give the Y.T. link; it helps for us to go there and add comments and ratings so we help educate others.
underdog, not sure you saw the recent thread telling of the battle Mox has keeping his channel up due to attacks from those who'd like to bury his Liberty message. It think the culprit was Fox this time.
MSM will NEVER pick Ron Paul as a "frontrunner" because
they are just too da..mned scared of him which is all the more reason people may have second thoughts about Ron Paul.
As each candidate implodes, and Gingrich will. I mean how could right wing Republicans vote for this degenerate? The fact he is a BIG GOVERNMENT HILLARYCARE, PELOSI GLOBAL WARMING IDIOT, and BIG TIME BANKING BAILOUT SUPPORTER must mean something to these right-wing Republicans.
It SURELY can't make them happy about this choice!
So, somehow IN OUR ADVERTISING we need to push people into realizing that they need to chose:
Which is it?
OUR ECONOMY....OR....INVADING IRAN.
Which would you pick if you had to?
Including Both
I definitely understand the struggle of a slow connection, but for those who can handle the videos hosted directly by the networks etc, it's better to use that one.
Let them see a surge in site traffic whenever they give honest coverage of Ron Paul.

Good job, Jon
Good job, Jon Stewart!
Thank-you bomb #2 for the day?
Jon Stewart -- flaming liberal.
Isn't it odd that a flaming liberal like Jon Stewart would give Ron Paul some media space? For all of you Fox zombies: THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. Liberals have open minds -- and Ron Paul may benefit. Suggestion: learn about the liberals that founded this country and you will abandon the authoritarians on Fox News.
I used to think liberals were
I used to think liberals were more open-minded than others, but since the disaster that is the election of Obama, I find this to be untrue.
I don't think anyone on here thinks Fox News is a reliable source of information, so I'm not sure what your argument is. Also, we don't live in a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic. Democracy is a horrible form of government.
In any case, I don't really understand your post, other than to say that liberals may support Ron Paul. In that, I can agree.
Jon Stewart for "Press Secretary"!!!
OK, when Ron gets elected President, first choice for Press Secretary -- Jon Stewart!
He's the ONLY one who has been consistently fair to Ron both last time and this time and...who would not LOVE to see Jon Stewart SCHOOL the typical media hacks during a D.C. press conference...lol?!
We love 'ya, Jon!

Ron Paul is the only
Ron Paul is the only candidate that represents a change and as such is the only serious threat to the status quo. Ron Paul is the only candidate that gets treated differently from every other candidate. I don't know that it does, I don't know how far this goes, but maybe this has something to do with it:

Thanks
The media are just a bunch of buffoons, and so are the candidates (except Ron Paul obviously). Lots to laugh about even though it actually sucks.
Interesting clip
thanks.

You take what you can get.
Its an instant classic, for sure. Great stuff! I laughed all the way through.
However, one more mention of Dr. Paul at the end would have brought it home, imho.
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...

I didn't see the video
Being on dial up I don't watch many vids so my feelings here are biased, or rather, blind. Please forgive me if I am wrong, but to me, it's mockery. Mr Stewart is not laughing with us, I'm not laughing about the censorship. And as a former article here pointed out, MSM is paid by corporations who are invested in war. I don't see Mr Stewart on "our side".
This UN Agenda is very serious and I believe Ron Paul is being censored because he is not UN Agenda. Stewart isn't joking about that is he?
If there is a video of Jon Stewart endorcing Ron Paul seriously, I'd like to see it, but for me ((( LL )))) it seems to be a theme this year for Stewart, and I don't appreciate being the butt of his joke, being I am a supporter, and the real loser when Ron Paul is censored.
I had a friend from England once tell me that the differnce between English and American humor is Americans think someone sliping on a banana peal is funny, but a bloke has to break his neck for it to be funny to an Englishman. Stewart's laughing at the censorship. It's like he's saying, "There it is and NOTHING you can do! LOL".
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!
