The Truth @ The Spin Factor

Media 180 on Ron Paul

CNN - “Ron Paul is here to stay and will become a huge problem for the leading-tier candidates with his anti-war position. He was the libertarian nominee for president in 1988 and has a network of supporters helping him with his campaign. As you travel around the country, you can see Ron Paul supporters everywhere.” -Paraphrased comments by Alex King, correspondent to Wolf Blitzer.

“…does the party want to follow George Bush off a cliff or do they want to follow Ron Paul?” -Paul Beggala

“RP is more anti-war than Clinton, Obama, etc” -CNN commentator.

Cafferty Letter: How can Republicans turn it around?
“Stop marginalizing the smartest among them, that is, Ron Paul.” -CNN viewer.

MSNBC has historically been positive about Ron Paul: Tucker, Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan like him a lot. They will likely cover him today based on his 5 million for Q3. However, the breaking news coverage on the 5 million incorrectly called him an isolationist.

Any positive coverage by neoconservative FOX News is unlikely to be seen tonight.

Ron Paul raises 5,080,000 for the 3rd Quarter.

According to a press release by Ron Paul’s Campaign. Stay tuned for more detailed statistics.

And a comment for MSNBC on their breaking news: Ron Paul is NOT an isolationist. He is a non-interventionist, and there is a big difference. Nevertheless, I want to commend MSNBC on their generally fair coverage of Ron Paul.

As for ABC, CNN and FOX News… study ethical journalism and get back to us.

By the way, our prediction that Ron Paul would reach 1.2 million last week held true
