Mad As Hell!
I Am Mad As Hell! Hillary and the other Main Stream Media picks get coverage for non-news all day long, meanwhile Ron Paul barely gets a mention when records are broken and real news worthy events like the $4.3M, $6M and Ron Paul Blimp happen.
The blackout of Ron Paul by Main Stream Media needs to stop, it is a sucking wound that if allowed to continue will kill the Ron Paul campaign. Local and National on-air personalities are trusted figures we rely on, but they minimize or ignore Ron Paul. Reality is they are just Talking Heads for Global Corporations paid to deliver the corporate messages and candidates.
How do we stop this? We need to expose these Talking Heads in public and on video, ask them why they are not reporting on Ron Paul and why when they do report on Ron Paul it is always prefaced with a belittling term. Why are the facts of how well supported Ron Paul is by the public that know about him, not reported? Grass Roots support for Ron Paul is grater than all the other candidates combined. Ron Paul gets more donations from private individuals than any other candidate. If compared to the percentage of times Ron Paul is mentioned in the News to number of votes he received, Ron Paul beats all the candidates, Democrat and Republican. Why are the issues that Ron Paul talks about not reported on or dismissed as out there, paranoid, conspiratorial or other dismissive language?
In your face Guerrilla Journalism, with three cameras (In their face, mid range and distant). The goal is to get the deer in the headlights look with the hands in the camera and double talk trying to avoid telling the truth. Mix all camera shots in with their on-air blackout of Ron Paul then post it online for all to see. If Meetup Groups all across the country did this, there would be a change in reporting, because Talking Heads do not want to be exposed as the frauds that they really are.
Camera crews visiting the main offices of Local and National news dept for comments on the blackout of Ron Paul by the Media. Imagine staff running for the back rooms and security yelling no cameras allowed and police showing up to prevent free speech at Media outlets.
It is simply Multi Billionaires against the Peasants or David and Goliath. Video can be our stone.

I want my Revolution TV
We need our own TV medium.
Does anyone know anyone who could make this happen?
Someone who could stream news, culture, politics with a Constitutional view on the internet first perhaps then move into national markets as it grows.

You Have The Answer...
It's your keyboard, the "attach file" command, and the Internet. Old Stream Media can't hold a card to you personally forwarding articles and clips to people you know. And this mulitpled my millions across the country ,means a very specific and targeted campaign; something no TV station can accomplish.You can even qualify each email by saying something like:
"I am sending this to you because it's important for you to be aware of something that no one wants to talk about. Unfortunately, you won't hear this on your TV news channel but this information is being shared by millions across the country via the Internet. I am really proud of this man and the awareness he has built around how our country has gotten off-track, and his plan to correct this. Thanks for watching and please pass this on and ask others to learn about Ron Paul." Then include links, video and the like.
The way to fight this is to use the best weapon(s) you have.
MSM...LOL
First off they are not "Main Stream Media" anymore. More people are getting their news from the internet than any other source. Lets not give them credibility by calling them MSM...That they are not!
They should be called exactly what they are "Old Media (OM)" or "Corporate Media (CM). They have done nothing to deserve the name MSM.
Just my 2 cents
Old Media is still the Main Stream Media
Old Media is still the Main Stream Media. Most people are still spoon feed their news by the MSM while sitting on their couch or recliner. Local and National news is owned and controlled by the same few corporations. The same corporations that profit directly and indirectly from war and conflict. This has been happening for hundreds of years. Before they were called Robber Barons now they are called Corporations. Their accumulation of power and wealth is increasing exponentially now, soon it will be too late. Their Talking Heads are their Achilles heel, expose and tarnish their public image.

Use the PRNewswire and similar services
I believe all these services which feed the major media and smaller outlets are "pay to play" There isn't any shortage of writing about Dr. Paul within our communities... Why don't we start looking at how much to get these pieces out to the conventional outlets they will be seen by someone

Maybe he should "tear up" like Mitt and Hillary
But then the headlines would read "Republican Candidate Ron Paul Turns Into Crybaby..."
This is why we need to start a fair news station!!!
Is it not obvious now that we have the ability to fund a new MSM station. If any body else is interested at making a news station that would actually share balanced news contact me at justin@mass-appealmedia.com . If we want a fighting chance we can not only fight the media with emails and sign bombs but with strict competition. It would take a lot of work but I know we have enough skills amongst us to get something going.
Ron Paul has my vote!
Truth TV
I've said this as well. Now wouldn't that be something. Every single vote would be Paul's if they only knew the Truth.

Remember: Debt is a form of slavery.
The trick would be getting folks to PREFER it over the others...
There are a lot of offerings on cable TV...it would take educating people that what they are watching now it NOT the true news. Then make it entertaining and professionally managed etc.
Great idea though...and well worth funding if effective.
Would it be stationed in or out of the country ?

Local media
The key to beating the MSM at this game is to side step them and focus all our efforts with the local media. The local media tends to be less bias if bias at all. When the blimp came to Savannah Ga and landed for a check up, I called the local paper and channel 11 news. I let them know that it was on the ground at the air port and they both did stories on the blimp and Paul. The paper had a big picture of the blimp with a half page positive article. Channel 11 arrived in time to take a ride on the blimp at which time they did a very positive interview with the local meetup group leader and Elijah. Our ace in the hole is the local media. The local media is at war with MSM. The MSM is trying to buy out local media, use this to our advantage. Expose the bias of the MSM.
LOCAL MEDIA! LOCAL MEDIA! LOCAL MEDIA!
Very good example. Call your local newsrooms when there is something newsworthy for them to cover (ie. a rally, a parade, a ribbon cutting, a blimp visit, a creative meetup group with something to show off, etc).
Local media can be our friends. They live in our communities, and they employ local people.
Don't forget your hometown papers (weeklies, monthlies). Letters to the Editor work, too. Keep your message on point and professional. Have all the correct facts, figures, locations and directions to sites you're sending media to.
Follow up with a fax, e-mail or snail mail with the information. Call and speak to someone in the news department and get names and titles of people you speak with.
Good luck!
But people need to hear Ron Paul speak and he can't do that
at every local media stations in this country it would wear him ragged. We need to work smarter not harder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kenghaFWOR0
We do this by utilizing
the Internet like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kenghaFWOR0 of course, it goes without saying Ron Paul would do it differently, but the media would be the same.
Ron Paul and we supporters will not be able to win with the OM. Therefore, we need to use an alternative and this would be a great way to go. Because while it utilizes the Internet, it can still reach people who don't even have a computer or the Internet.
This can be done by arranging townhall meetings or in-home Ron Paul Undecided Parties, where undecideds, invited by Ron Paul supporters can get together and watch and interact with Ron Paul on one computer screen per each location. This way Ron Paul can reach thousands not only in this country, but around the world.
And he can use any format he wants... give speeches, have a roundtable with others who support his views on the war, the economy, the Fed, etc.. The possibilities are endless. And he won't be interupted by rude, biased talking heads, when he tries to get out his message.
Because he will be in control. Not the elites and their employees. And who better to represent Ron Paul, than Ron Paul himself. We all know when people hear him speak in a relaxed, unhurried way... they become instant supporters.
This media offers him so much more than he could ever hope to expect from the OM.
What are the Requirements for Press Credentials?
I've been thinking about this issue remembering when NRA launched the NRA news network a number of years back. I seem to remember they went so far as to issue "NRA NEWS" Press Corps packages to the membership as a means of stimulating grass roots reporting for their pet causes.
What is a "legitmate" news organization for the purpose of getting credentials and attending events?
My thought was using the Ron Paul meetups base as an umbrella news network (The BLIMP News Network) or whatever name.... And if we could get just one or two of our reporters contacting local newsrooms in locales where there are meetup groups..... Hello, my name is_____ I'm with the _____ News Network. I'm doing a story on the Presidential campaign and would like to arrange an interview (phone or in person) to discuss the campaigns, voter issues, coverages etc etc.
The questions should be more than 100% Ron Paul, but that doesn't mean the conversation can't address the media blackout directly.
If all our local media were contacted wouldn't someone, somewhere catch on that there actually is a story?
Certainly with outlets such Daily Paul and others with audio feeds we can report out and create a buzz....

No Credentials needed
All we need is video cameras and the truth. MSM rely on their public image to sell their reality. Start to tarnish their image with in their face Guerrilla Journalism and they will change their ways. They can only control those that believe them.

That's sounds like an
That's sounds like an idea...don't know about requirements or legality etc.
But it sure sounds good "on paper"...

It's about what's going to keep the public's eyes on the TV screen. Hillary keeps the viewers on. People want to see what she's up to. There's no conspiratorial "blackout" of Paul. It's simply capitalism. It's market driven. People don't want to see all sides and issues. They only want to see the sides and issues that interest them. Paul is on more than he used to be. He does in bring in some ratings.

Devon you are confused
And have been for a long time. If you think the major news media does not slant news, you must be freaking joking!
Way too much faith in the good faith of our corporate media. Freedom and free markets DO encourage market based news, but if you don't think the news media works to shape and slant that demand, you are out of your mind.
I cannot believe that you are missing this point, most everything I read from you is at least somewhat bright, but ignoring the media black out of Ron Paul for some dogmatic belief in the good intentions of all social actors is just ignorant.
Criticism of content is a CRITICAL part of any free market system. You are trying to hamper this CRUCIAL aspect of the free market with many of your posts.

There is no such thing
as a news outlet that is not leaning toward some particular point of view. But, they can only have so much power to influence. They have to answer to the market or they won't stay in business. There is no orchestrated unified intentional "blackout" of Paul. Such a thing is not even possible, since we have a thriving competitive market in news in the U.S. There has never been as much competition in news as there is today. Paul said so himself in the Bill Moyer's interview.
Unified intentional Blackout
Devon, Most local news in major markets are owned and controlled by the large MSM corporations. There is no real competition. There is a large number of households that don't have internet and cable, they rely on the trusted networks to feed them fair and balanced news. Those that do have internet and cable sit passively in their chairs being spoon feed their reality. Problem is, those that they trust profit from war and conflict. Follow the money and wake up before it's too late!
Luc
SORRY!!!!! You are wrong
Devon..you need to educate yourself. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and more, all owned by members of the CFR, and ALL are Corporate members of the CFR. Their agenda is globalization, and stripping state and individual rights. They do not care about reporting news, only slanted stuff aimed at manipulating the public. It works, too. This is not opinion, and not a theory. This is a fact. Please do some research.
BTW, do you know that the Right to bear arms is being DEBATED right now by the Supreme Court? Did you know that a HUGE Petition of Grievance has just been DENIED to be heard by the Supreme court? NO? Lots of people have not. It hasn't been on the NEWS.....
You know the answer...
why do you refuse to accept it?
"Reality is they are just Talking Heads for Global Corporations paid to deliver the corporate messages and candidates."
You said it yourself above. They CAN NOT report anything other than what is "written" for them to read. Remember, they don't have a brain. They just look good on camera. If they tried to report their feelings they would be fired!
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...

RESULTS in EARLY primaries/caucuses. It's called MOMENTUM. Something I feel the "official" campaign might have underestimated.

Hmm
How do you explain the surge in Huckabee's newsworthiness just before the Iowa caucus and just after he addressed the CFR?

Kemp is right
You are correct. Even the papers are touting the fact they have influence. People think if they see it in print, it's true.
Trouble is, there are no more independent papers not even the UL in NH.
