MSNBC/msnbc.com Showing 0 Delegates for Ron Paul - What Can We Do?
Submitted by blsmith on Wed, 01/16/2008 - 10:37
Both the cable network and website are showing 0 delegates for Dr. Paul - does anyone know what we can do? I did send an email yesterday but got no response. I also went to the FCC website to see if I could file a complaint but there doesn't seem to be one for television - only telephone. If anyone has any other ideas I am willing to help. It is unbelievable that they can get away with this.

What is "under the radar"?
Just let it slide and smile!
Then don't visit the site
Just visit cnn and politico which show us at 16
They can say all they want
all we did today was choose delegates to go to the County convention in April. The state convention isn't until May.
TV ad
At my school they ran a TV ad for MSNBC and they showed the candidates with their accurate delegate counts. Oh, except for "you know who" with 0 delegates.
6 corporations control all our media in this country, they've already made sure Dr. Paul's ideas would be silenced. So the least they could do is accurately report the facts.
This really pissed me off and I sent a nice letter to the editor.
AP vs RCP
AP has Paul at 0. Real Clear Politics has Paul at 2 delegates. MSNBC uses AP, CNN uses RCP, Fox uses both. You'd have to ask AP why they didn't include the 2 Paul delegates from Iowa. There are other differences between the 2 counts, I doubt its an anti-Paul move.
MSNBC delegate count INFURIATING
Saw this (several times) this morning, and chalked it up to more of the same biased misinformation. It is just infuriating. Worse, what is the underlying reason? That's the scary thing. Anyway, will email MSNBC and demand correction, and hope others do the same.
