and their looney ideas about a media blackout/bias. Speaking as someone who used to work in the enertainment industry (thats all the news is, really), I can assure you we do not have to worry about the media. Create a story, and they will come. Oh, yes, they most definitely will come.

You don't think there is a concerted effort to keep Ron Paul out of the mainstream press? Are you kidding me? Where have you been the last six months? Did you happen to see the Fox news channel debate after-show where they brought out the "The Minister of Propaganda" Frank Luntz to conduct his own poll. He had a room of his own people that watched the debate to discredit the text phone poll results. He asked 'his' people who won the debate and no-one raised their hands.

But you're right, there is no conspiracy.

First they tried to ignore him, now they are attacking/trying to discredit - him.

Biggest Concern on This News Clip

Many citizens approaching retirement and looking forward to receiving Social Security are going to be upset by the inference that Dr. Paul will do away with their social security. I got a call from my brother, a new Ron Paul fan, who said wait a minute...we need our social security. How am I supposed to tell my friends about Ron Paul if he will do away with SS?

I told my brother: the news clip is misleading. Today's SS payments are coming from withholdings from the current workforce. There is no trust fund of SS money...congress already spent it! The demographics of our aging nation mean that the SS system is unsustainable. Don't blame this on Dr. Paul.

Anyone else get a worried response on this issue?

The Don Quixote references suggest he's a lunatic out of touch with reality. But at least they weren't overtly anti-Paul.

Ron Paul Cured Me Too

I was so apathetic, I literally flipped a coin to decide whether to vote for Bush or Kerry in 2004. I never donated any money or any time to a candidate before this.

Let's hope NBC helped us convert a couple hundred more Paulites with this piece! :-D
