    Corporate Media Censor Ron Paul's Debate Success
    Establishment press ignore massive popular approval for Texas Congressman in every poll, ABC only add Paul to poll list after furious complaints Paul Joseph Watson
    Prison Planet
    Monday, May 7, 2007

    [align=left] [align=left] [align=left] [align=left] Ron Paul won the debate hands down - all the polls show it - but the establishment media are loathe to report it, because if a tree falls in the forest and the corporate press choose not to report on it then it doesn't make a sound.
    After several days of voting, the online MSNBC poll has Ron Paul leading in every single positive category, proving that the vast majority think he won the debate. In an ABC News poll, well over 7,000 voted for the Congressman with Giuliani and Romney receiving a paltry 100 votes each. In a CSPAN poll, 69% voted for Ron Paul, with his nearest contender garnering just 9% of the vote.
    Many would attribute this to be a reflection of focused online activism rather than overall national opinion, but the fact is that Paul was way ahead of the other candidates in the hours after the debate ended and before the polls had been widely publicized by websites supportive of the Texas Congressman.

    This tells us that the American people are crying out for a real conservative and Ron Paul would be a serious contender for the White House if the media afforded him equal coverage with the likes of Romney, McCain and Giuliani.
    However, as Alex Wallenwein points out in his OpEdNews.com article, the establishment media completely ignored public sentiment and handed the victory to either McCain or Romney, barely even mentioning Ron Paul's sterling performance and popular approval.

    Highlights package of all Ron Paul's answers from Thursday night's debate.
    "Unsurprisingly, not a single report of the actual political news story of the decade, namely, that a virtually unknown ??dark horse? beats even the media favorite Romney handily - and utterly crushes the rest of the field," writes Wallenwein.

    [align=left] [align=left]"Giuliani Wary of Repeal of Roe? (Washington Times)[/align]
    [/align]
    [align=left] [align=left] Readers tell us that ABC didn't even include Ron Paul on their original list and his name was only added to the poll after furious calls to ABC's head office. This website also claims that comments on ABC's message boards expressing outrage at the fact that Paul had been censored were soon deleted.
    Even the usually much vaunted Keith Olbermann and his MSNBC co-host Chris Matthews ignored Ron Paul's clear anti-war stance in claiming that none of the Republican candidates opposed the occupation of Iraq.
    [align=center]
    [/align]
    As if we needed a reminder, the aftermath of the GOP debate has taught us that the path to the Oval office is off-limits to any candidate who is not bought and paid for by special interests and the corporate media. Barely a handful of pre-approved identikit lackeys are selected and lavished with dominant media coverage while anyone who stands for real issues or offers a viable alternative is shunned and censored.
    Ron Paul's message of getting government out of our personal lives, destroying the IRS and returning to a founding father foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements is clearly evergreen and craved for by a huge chunk of informed, engaged and active American citizens.
    Trust in mainstream media has rapidly eroded for the best part of a decade and their credibility is shot. We need to continue to use the Internet to create synergy with the burning desire of the people to restore constitutional values and ensure that the corporate press can censor Ron Paul no more, save they expose the fact that they are complicit in completely undermining the democratic process in America.

    The first thing a dictatorship needs to do is gain control of the press. Media mogul, Rupert Murdoch, an Aussie, is buying the american media bit by bit. The noted Fox News owner owns a fair percentage as is and now is trying to buy the Wall Street Journal as well. Here is a partial list: Corporate History

    Now, don't you think this might be a small step in taking over the information highway. Murdoch is quite active in demanding a biased accounting of the news in an extreme right wing venue. It's been said that Fox news gets talking points directly from the white house. Be afraid, Be very afraid, A dictatorship is coming soon to a country near you. Thank God for MSNBC. I think he even tried to buy that to shut them up.

    I believe he's doing quite well, although he doesn't have a lock on the US media...............George Soros (pronounced [ʃoroʃ]) [Shorosh] (born August 12, 1930, in Budapest, Hungary, as György Schwartz) is an American financial speculator, stock investor, philanthropist, and political activist.[1]

    Currently, he is the chairman of Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Institute and is also a former member of the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations. His support for the Solidarity labor movement in Poland, as well as the Czechoslovakian human rights organization Charter 77, contributed to ending Soviet Union political dominance in those countries.[2] His funding and organization of Georgia's Rose Revolution was considered by Russian and Western observers to have been crucial to its success, although Soros said his role has been "greatly exaggerated." In the United States, he is known for having donated large sums of money in a failed effort to defeat President George W. Bush's bid for reelection in 2004.

    Soros is famously known for "breaking the Bank of England" on Black Wednesday in 1992. With an estimated current net worth of around $8.5 billion, he is ranked by Forbes as the 80th-richest person in the world.[2]

    Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker wrote in 2003 in the foreword of Soros' book The Alchemy of Finance:

    "George Soros has made his mark as an enormously successful speculator, wise enough to largely withdraw when still way ahead of the game. The bulk of his enormous winnings is now devoted to encouraging transitional and emerging nations to become 'open societies,' open not only in the sense of freedom of commerce but - more important - tolerant of new ideas and different modes of thinking and behavior."

    A Soros role in formulating national drug policy is worthy of special press attention because his pro-drug legalization campaign has been considered at odds with the vast majority of Republicans and Democrats who share the view that legalization would make the drug problem far worse.



    I think he financed Moveon.org a Democratic think tank and propaganda machine. They were the ones most responsible for the anti-Bush campaign ads. Too bad they didn't prevail. If Kerry had been elected we would have been out of Iraq a long time ago. We might even have a better medical system and a few other social programs that need revamping, but it was not to be. I'm not aware of his pro MJ campaigning, but see nothing wrong with it.
