Is the Media Manipulation Backfiring?
Will the internet be the end of the two party monopoly?
The media completely ignored Ron Paul until his huge fund-raising success on Nov. 5, 2007. Since the story was so big they had to cover it, they brought out all their best attack articles. They resorted to name calling, attacking his supporters, and dismissing the constitution as "impossibly ideological." At the end of the week of being bashed by the media, he had picked up 5% in national polls.
Clinton and Giuliani don't have to worry about negative coverage so much. In fact, we've seen that CNN and FOX are more than willing to bend over backwards to give these two easy questions, extra air-time, and positive coverage. And they've done nothing but drop in the polls. Instead, Romney has crushed Giuliani's lead in New Hampshire and Iowa without much media attention paid
Do you think the internet is making voters more informed, since they can research beyond the few approved headlines? Will this end the two-party monopoly?

I think people are more able to research their options with the internet, but I don't believe the country is quite ready for an independant. I think if the dems get the presidency this time around, next election will be an independant.

The mainstream media is owned by the hidden ruling elite, who hand-pick and nurture into power the candidate they choose.
Ron Paul is a very brave man to speak out against the Federal Reserve and speak honestly about the true nature of money. This is one of the main reasons why JFK was assassinated.
The more I get to know about Ron Paul, the more I like him.
The more he continues to gain support, the more of a threat he will become to the agenda of the ruling elite. He should be very careful to watch his back... He could get silenced in a very unpleasant way.

The problem is that *everyone* is ignoring Ron Paul... The media can be depending on to do one thing.... report on what sells... Ron Paul doesn't generate enough interest... not even enough to dump on.. but that could be said for good second level candidates like Huckabee or Hunter.

Lordkelvin...everyone is ignoring him? What about the 5,000+ who went to his rally in Philly? The over 30,000 who donated more than 4.3 million in ONE DAY? Are you kidding me?
It's the mainstream media that's doing the ignoring.
