Why will the media not cover Ron Paul!?

I can't believe they won't even discus him! It's almost like he's so perfect that they hate him...

    They don't want him to win. If the people who run the media wanted him to win, they will cover him. Sorry to break anyone's bubble out there, but the media gives you the news they want you to hear, not what it is. Seems to me that a totally different type of candidate who breaks the mold is big news. Oh, wait, that only applies to liberals like Obama, not conservatives like Ron Paul.

    The media picks the candidates. They narrow it down by covering the candidates they want to win or the ones that are paying them the most (interviews and I sure in some cases money), and then the people select the less of two evils. Vote for who you want as president. I would rather vote for the candidate thats putting the facts out there. I could careless what that person did 10 years ago. What are you going to do for me now. You can't changes the past, you can only change the future. It's time for America to wake up and realize we have a say in our future.

    It is a simple formula

    Advertising pays the media (Big Business and Lobbyist) + Candidates whom take Lobbying money or that have policies that support them = No Ron Paul.

    It isn't campaign money since Dr. Paul has the 2nd most funding of the republican candidates, funding raised by the people, not big business and he has the most support of our troops of all candidates. He is a honest man in a crooked business, his record 100% proves this.

    The media has chosen our candidates for us. A person can't do well in the polls if no one covers him. People need to learn to vote their conscience, not 'for the winner'. This isn't a damn horse race.

    Did you notice the last 2 debates, Huckabee was ignored as well?

    He's not perfect, it's just that he hasn't done well in ANY states so he's invisible to them.

    He'll do well in Montana because I live in Montana and everywhere I go I see a Ron Paul sign. But just Montana isn't good enough.

    They go out of their way to NOT talk about him. It's amazing.

    Regardless as to how you may feel about Ron Paul, the is the United States of America and we should demand better of our press.

    It is a right in the Unites States to run for president. Everyone should be treated equally.

    I would gladly say even for a candidate that I didn't agree with.

    Because the "unbiased" media has a clear objective of preventing him from being elected. I'm not sure why. I'm not sure if it's some sort of conspiracy (and there are a lot theories), but I think the media has taken an obvious bias against him and this is very unfortunate. The media is supposed to educate a society and keep it informed. They've failed miserably.

    To be frank, I don't get why the heck people make such a big fuss over Ron Paul. He's getting less than 5 percent of the votes and his ideas are pretty radical. He's not going to win. It's time to give it up. I'm so sick of hearing about Ron Paul.

    They do not hate him. He is just off the wall too much. The media covers the ones who are mostly likely to win.
