FSD you missed the point. Sure, both CNN and Fox mentioned Ron Paul’s fund raising record, but they were buried. Instead we got classic headlines like:
“Pinups of bikini-clad women aid jailbreak”
I have since checked CNN and they FINALLY have it as one of their headlines.

There is no validity with the argument that he is a minority candidate because he is low in the polls, and therefore he shouldn’t be covered as much. I seriously question the methodology of the polls and the people that they are surveying.

You don’t get news coverage decisions based on your local community’s interests because it’s too costly. Shareholders get much more of a say now. Ron Paul might be huge in your city/county/state, but you might never know it if you relied on traditional media news.

I certainly remember Ross Perot getting more press than Ron Paul has.
