Ron Paul: Time to Take the Gloves Off With the Mainstream Media

Look folks, I have had it. Yesterday’s Reuters article on Ron Paul just pushed it over the edge for me. (http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN2434274320070524?pageNumber=2)

I am seeing red when I read things like “longshot”, and “barely registers in opinion polls.” I can’t take it anymore. Enough is enough. No more emails, blogs, or even cool songs. No more mister nice guy.

I just called up the Reuters switchboard at 1 646 223 4000

and asked to speak to someone concerning bias in their reporting. Once I was connected to a real person, I let the guy have it. I quoted the MSNBC polls, the FOX poll, Alexa’s website rankings of all the candidates, you name it. I was as nice as I could be, and I told the guy I know it’s not his fault personally but this media bias has got to stop. I said it is preposterous for them to report that guiliani is the front-runner when the man hasn’t even read the 9-11 commission report and Ron Paul is stomping him everywhere. I told him that Ron Paul was going to win the primaries whether the media supported him or not and that we are sick of the lies. I demanded to know why the media is trying so hard to keep the man down – but there was no answer. I continued to give the man 3 shoes, but you get the idea.

Folks, we need to get on the phone and literally chew peoples’ ears off if we really want to get Ron Paul elected, and not just the mainstream media but their advertisers too.

Please pick your favorite pet peave mainstream article and make whatever phone calls necessary to actually talk to a live person and let them know how you feel, as well as their advertisers. I posted the reuters phone number above, more numbers to come.

Peace & Blessings,
