Why does media try so hard to convince us Ron Paul is Unelectable?

Question

Have you noticed that all of the media from TV to even Talk Radio (both liberal and traditional conservative talk radio) are all saying the same thing; Ron Paul Can't Win and Ron Paul is Unelectable?  Isn't this synchronized repetition focused on just one candidate just a bit to consistent to see it as being merely coincidental?

When was the last time you witnessed both of the 2 major political parties working this hard and this often to tell potential voters how one candidate is unelectable?  Not a day goes by that some talk show host hasn’t commented on how Ron Paul is not going to win.  Despite the fact that Ron Paul has as of July 2011 received more campaign contributions from active military than any other candidate; Despite the fact that Ron Paul has won the coveted CPAC star poll for the last 2 years;  Despite the fact that Ron Paul is in a 3 way tie for having won the most State Straw Polls to date;  despite all of these undeniable facts (I’m sure some government hack lick yMember NGC6205 or some  mindless Republican Party zombie will try to deny these anyway ) we still repeatedly hear every day about how Ron Paul just can’t win.

Should the question be why is the media making such an organized effort to promote the Ron Paul Can’t Be Allowed To Win mantra?

Ron Paul is a racist who would destroy all our social programs, including Medicare and Social Security.  His domestic plan is every man, woman, child, and infant for himself.  He wants to make this country look like Somalia.

The Mainstream Media is taking care of its CUSTOMERS: 
 
The advertisers/customers who buy airtime are all CORPORATIONS.  
The Corporations are predominantly owned by the Global Wealthy Elite.  
The Global Wealthy Elite like things just the way they are --slanted in THEIR favor. 

Case closed.

Because of his honesty, he's the biggest threat. Don't let the media fool you though--his followers are everywhere.

Unlike Obama and the rest of the GOP candidates, he's not a puppet. Unlike Obama, he would end the wars and he would have done it a long time ago. 

Ron Paul 2012- Save the Constitution and restore liberty. REAL change.

We don't need the media to convince us on this one. When he says he'll get rid of the Federal Reserve, it's like Roseanne Barr saying she'll make corporate elite pay their fair share first, and if they refuse, then guillotine them. I mean, there's just no credibility coming from serious candidate when you say things  just to appease people.

The media is out of control. They are all owned by the same people (Zionist trillionaires) and are arrogant enough to think they can shape the opinions of their viewers. They are successful with weak minded people who can't think for themselves. However, some of us are too smart to be manipulated by them or their fear mongering spin and gossip. Real news reporting is a lost art.
