Cult Watch Title: Establishment Media Admits Conspiracy To Ignore Ron Paul Despite Ron Paul's overwhelming success in Saturday's Ames straw poll, finishing second to Michele Bachmann by less than two hundred votes, in an astounding video establishment media talking heads admit what we've been highlighting from the very start -- that there is a deliberate policy to sideline, ignore and discredit Paul's campaign. After pointing out that Ron Paul only lost to Michele Bachmann by a tiny percentage (and that after accusations that Bachmann's campaign attempted to rig the result by buying 4,000 votes), and that the Ames result was virtually a "tie for first," Politico's Roger Simon said the reason for him being ignored was that "the media doesn't believe he has a hoot in hells chance of winning the Iowa caucuses, the Republican nomination or winning the presidency, so we're gonna ignore him." CNN host Howard Kurtz even admits that, "We are in the business of kicking candidates out of the race". The bizarre aspect of this clip is that Simon admits the Ames straw poll is a key indicator of the race and was "as good as a win" for Ron Paul, then completely contradicts himself by saying Paul has no chance of winning. This dichotomy illustrates how the media-generated perception of Paul57;s campaig as futile has no basis in reality -- it is nothing more than a hoax designed to manipulate the American people. Indeed, it is the establishment's fear that Ron Paul could build the kind of momentum for a win that drives the deliberate policy to ignore his campaign. By manufacturing the hoax that Ron Paul has no chance of winning, the establishment hopes their rhetoric will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Look at it another way. It's almost a given that former Federal Reserve insider Herman Cain has no chance of winning the Republican candidacy, and the polls prove it, but you won't hear the mainstream media endlessly obsessing about the futility of his campaign as they do with Ron Paul, even as Paul's poll results illustrate how he is a strong front runner. The establishment denigrates Paul's campaign not because they think he can't win, but because they're scared hemight win. That's why they've made it their job to try and derail his momentum at every turn. It's their job to manipulate the American public into thinking they're wasting their vote if they support Paul because he has no chance of winning, when the opposite is true, he has every chance of winning, if only he was given an equal platform with the other candidates. Politico's efforts to pretend Ron Paul doesn't exist were brazenly apparent in the first incarnation of their headline regarding the Ames straw poll result, which was entitled, Michele Bachmann wins Ames Straw Poll, Tim Pawlenty gets third (the headline was later changed). Despite the fact that Ron Paul beat Pawlenty, who subsequently announced he was dropping out of the racealtogether, by over 2,300 votes, and Paul trailed Bachmann by a mere 152 votes, it was Pawlenty and not Paul who made the headline of the article. No wonder the headline was later amended, as the You Tuber in the video below documents. This was a transparent and embarrassing effort to ignore Ron Paul's existence altogether, a tactic we'll be seeing plenty more of over the next 12 months.

NOT surprising. Unfortunately, I can't see streaming media behind the firewall.... so, bookmarked for tonight when I get home.
The two sides in America are people who work for a living versus people who vote for their living.
This has been the case for years. The entire establishment media spectrum has colluded against Paul while fawning over Commie-Socialists and "moderate" fake war heroes.
"It's not surprising, then, they [White Pennsylvanians] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." ~ Comrade-in-Chief Barry Hussein 0bama
