Pimping for Paul: A Case Study in Media Bias
Submitted by ronpaulrox on Sun, 01/22/2012 - 16:54This is one of the most interesting videos I've seen on media bias towards Ron Paul. The guy basically lays out how Tucker Carlson and The New Republic launched one of the more damaging stories used to smear Ron Paul.
Definitely worth your time.
















Ah....much to do about nothin.
Everybody knows the media likes to poke fun at Ron Paul, and why not, his campaign does nothing to fight back, and Ron doesn't really have that type of character. At this point, I'd say Ron needs all the help he can. Anyway, Nevada will be old history in 2 days. Ron Paul DOES NOT need another last place finish, either.

Napolitano is having the Hoff and his hookers on his show today. This needs to be back up on the front page. Get the word out about this smear campaign!
How does that happen?
How does that happen?
There seems to be evidence that Tucker Carlson
promoted this entire idea to the owner of the brothel in order to create a hit piece.
Is this illegal? Any lawyers have some insights into this?
Even if it's not, it's newsworthy to discredit Tucker and all news outlets that ran with this story, without mentioning that the entire thing was a promotion manipulated by Tucker which would obviously harm Ron Paul's campaign.
Tucker should be pursued tirelessly for comment as should the manager and people from the prostitution business to get more evidence. Someone will tell the truth or crack under the pressure.
We need to have an intelligence war on the media. Expose and discredit.
How about a 24/7 internet broadcast that monitors mainstream media, debunking their lies and prejudice within hours of it occurring?
People don't care much about a critique of something a media talking head said 3 days ago, but if such critiques could be tweeted and face-booked from a central popular location within hours, it would prosper from the currency of the news. It will still be in the minds of the viewers and still be topical.
A revolution broadcast channel, akin to what the Revolution SuperPAC recently tried could develop into a hugely powerful weapon. With exposure to 100,000 people per day, ad revenues could become considerable and I can imagine the grass roots could find 500k to get such a venture operating for a few months until ad revenue flowed in. Heck, we raised more for a BLIMP. Let's get our own broadcast channel for the Revolution.

A twitter and facebook broadcast system
that blasted out rebuttals/alerts would be nice, especially during live events. It seems like the media are more "aware" they are being watched during debates for instance. They all sit there reading twitter an if you call them out in front of everyone, you can put a little more pressure on them.
i did not know this
great video
Didn't Tucker slam Dr Paul at
Didn't Tucker slam Dr Paul at The Rally for the Republic? I don't remember the details but I remember someone I trusted saying he overheard Tucker making disparaging remarks about being at the rally and left before he gave his speech.
This needs Reddit love
I tried to add post this link to Reddit, but it was already submitted. Looks like it got lost in the chaos of the SC primary results.

Go vote this up guys.
/r/ronpaul will bring some light to this.

Very well done
I remember that whole mess with Mr. Bow Tie during the last campaign. Thus I'm glad this video was made to alert our new friends in liberty to these dirty MSM tactics.
Unless Ron Paul! -Lorax
Just posted video on Tucker's FB page!
This so sad!

“The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence.” Dr. Ron Paul
Wow
Just when you think you'd seen it all ......
F*ck Tucker Carlson.
That pretty much sums it up
for me too.

Great expose.
Now we'll be ready to ignore and BURY next pimping for RP attacks.
Thanks for posting, rprox.
OMG Jouralism! Real!
And for the newcomers who are just now finding this, imagine the roller coaster ride we were on back in 07/08 when on the eve of Iowa Caucus, Pimpin for Paul, and eve of NH Primary, newsletters.
talk about deflation!

Now that's what I call
investigative journalism. It's been so long I almost forgot.
Thank You Ron Paul Rox
Do you have a transcription of this whole thing? Would love to publish it: drkresearch@hotmail.com. Let me know if you would like to explain your work on the radio.
Don't thank me..
I didn't make the video, I just found it on YouTube and linked it here. You might try emailing the author on the YouTube channel.
Makes you wonder how Tucker
Makes you wonder how Tucker met Dennis in the first place.
And how Dennis became his "Good Friend"

The old stream media
The old stream media prostitutes, oops I mean "journalists," have a great affinity for prostitutes, seeing as how they engage in the same trade.

I loved the way the author...
cut back and forth between the CNN pundits and the Bunny Ranch girls to imply that very point...
:]
This is one of the greatest mini-doc's I've seen on media manipulation. Thank god we have the internet... for now.
I wish...
someone who has the computer savvy and skill would put together a documentary on the media bias against Ron Paul that has been done by all the networks and radio talking heads. It would probably be a daylong documentary, but it sure would be an interesting college course in how the media can brainwash people and destroy a good man.
This would make a great Master's degree project and could be developed into a college level course in communications.
Hannity should be shown interviewing his favorites and then interviewing Ron Paul. Anyone could see how unfair he is.

media anti-RP bias documentary needs to happen
I will help with it. I can proofread, I can write, I can do voiceovers, and I've been thinking this same thing for days now.
No matter how long it takes, it must be done. If it could be done while there are still some states which haven't voted in this primary season, that would be a big bonus.
