Open Thread: End Run Around the MSM

It was great having the opportunity to attend debate in New Hampshire but in truth, sitting through debate itself was like torture. I wanted to hear Dr. Paul’s opinion on all of the questions, but CNN / the mainstream media (MSM) didn’t give him the chance. It was painfully clear that CNN was most interested in hearing from, and amplifying the opinions of the Rudy McRomney Trio. They put them smack dab in the middle, banishing Dr. Paul to the far right of the stage.

Dr. Paul is getting more and more coverage in the mainstream media, but it was clear from the debate that this coverage will only go so far. Yes, he can make it on the Daily Show, and Bill Maher, but when push comes to shove, the establishment will attempt to silence him by ignoring him. It is therefore imperative to find alternate avenues to get Dr. Paul’s message out.

One idea that has been discussed is having official weekly video addresses by Dr. Paul himself that would be uploaded to YouTube. Most of the unofficial videos – those produced by independent supporters – have been widely viewed and always quite popular. YouTube is extremely powerful because the videos can be embedded in any website and even in emails and viewed an infinite number of times.
