Major Tennessee Newspaper leaves Dr. Paul off list of candidates 2 days before primary.

I wrote a quick e-mail to the editor of The Tennessean, Mark Silverman, and I received a thoughtful and polite reply. At least he didn't answer as the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer did, stating deliberate bias. Here is his reply:

"I apologize for the omission.

The candidates' position grid we published was provided by one of our wire services. It omitted Dr. Paul. We should have caught the omission but we did not. There's no excuse on our part -- but that's what happened. We will publish a complete version of the grid tomorrow."

I answered that I thought he should run a story JUST on Dr. Paul and not include him in a new grid because many people would glance at the grid and think it was the same one. At the very least he should state above the grid, in a LARGE font, why the paper is rerunning the grid, with his apology.

We'll see what he does.

Here you go, take this and run with it: Ron Paul polls 8% in TN; The Tennessean omits him from coverage

It includes polling numbers and circulation numbers for the paper.

all these papers and local media leaving out Paul is making me sick. We need to do something different, because what we are doing now isn't getting noticed. The internet just isn't enough anymore at this time of the race.

When are you (HQ) going to say enough? If you want RP elected as bad as we do them throw a hissy fit, stomp your feet, do something and get noticed some how.!!!!

Please help us with this blatant omission

Their political coverage issue was unsurprisingly void of any mention of Ron Paul.

This campaign has certainly exposed the media.

Be sure to tell editor we intend to write to his paper's advertisers too.

PLEASE ALL TAKE A MINUTE TO WRITE AN ASSERTIVE YET, NOT AGGRESSIVE OR THREATENING EMAIL TO EDITORS below.

Komo TV in Seattle actually discussed RP as one of the Republican candidates today in election coverage, shallow, not terribly flattering but HE EXISTS!!!!!!!!! YES!!

Shameful & Blatant Censorship & emailed the editor a scathing letter
