Another example of media bias.

OK, check this out. Go to http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/#R and you will see that Ron Paul is reported as being 3rd in Nevada. Click on the Nevada link and it reports correctly that he came in 2nd. Very misleading!

Let me explain
I see they both have 4 delegates. Since McConn has totaled to date more delegates than RPaul they put McConn in 2nd place. Does he deserve to be there no but like in sports if 2 teams are tied in conference play the team that has the better record gets to rank higher. I see the media is playing favorites but RPaul needs to be at least a solid 3rd in delegates and I think all media will start to give credence to this campaign.
Not to defend CNN...
...but that chart is not a ranking. It's a delegate count. McCain & Paul each received 4 delegates, and their names are presented in alphabetical order. When you click on the state, you see the actual vote count.
There are plenty of examples of abuse by the media, but this isn't one of them.

Pardon my french. That is disgusting! They will not stop distorting the truth!
Ron Paul is my HERO!
this is flaggable to me
under language. that is why "language" is offered as a flaggable offense. I too do not like the language many daily paul users use. it does not reflect well on the doctor. i can guarantee he does not use this language!
You Know
There are young kids on this forum learning about politics. Could you please clean up your mouth? Like that kind of language will really help Dr. Ron Paul.

Agreed
My 9 year old is very much interested and has learned quite a bit from this forum. Unfortunately, that is one word I wish he hadn't learned. But hey, freedom of speech is what we are all about right?
