Corporate Media Censor Ron Paul's Debate Success
for Texas Congressman in every poll, ABC only add Paul to poll list
after furious complaints

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.

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.

Apparently the Axcess News editors don't have
a clue - unlike actual debate viewers.

Readers tell us that ABC didn't even include Ron Paul on their
"Giuliani Wary of Repeal of Roe” (Washington
Times)
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.
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.
