Justin, surely a political journalist like yourself cannot be so utterly wrong about the Nevada Caucus? The vote was nothing more than a meaningless straw poll (despite this, the media darlings of Huckabee and Mcain were BOTH beaten by Ron Paul) but, as Mitt Romney said before the vote, Nevada is about delegates, hence why he (and Ron Paul) was in Nevada instead of South Carolina. Nevada sends more delegates to the GOP convention in September therefore winning the biggest number of delegates is what actually matters here.
Unmentioned by you, and therefore mentioned by me, because you seem to be incapable of following your own rules of reportage and even mentioning in a non-biased way the results of the Caucus. You have failed to do your job, so I am reporting that Romney won the straw poll and Ron Paul came in second ahead of McCain, Huckabee and Rudy. (important note here, Ron Paul has beaten the "supposed" leading candidature of Rudy in every poll bar one. That's REAL votes NOT spammers. The Paul campaign also has raised more funds than Rudy, again from real voters not corporate backers or spammers.) Ron Paul's support is large enough for him to be included in the media in a reasonable light as a front runner. He is now clearly inside the top 4 and rising.
But the MOST important aspect is the fact that in Nevada, Ron Paul has secured far more delegates than Mitt Romney and so has actually won Nevada where it actually counts.
I am sick of seeing the mainstream media news blatantly and deliberately distort and misrepresent results, in both imagery and text, to actively censor reportage of Ron Paul. When Fox and CNN and the BBC and others show the two images those from the top 3 or 3 from the top 4 or 4 from the top 5 candidates omitting one of them from the lineup, they always omit Ron Paul.
Typically there have been pictures of the top 4 showing first, third and fourth but missing out second, because we can not have people actually realising that Ron Paul's message is popular and resonates with the American Ideal? Freedom, liberty, prosperity and the pursuit of happiness?
So where, Justin, is your dedication to your words from November last year when you wrote:
"To me he is a wonderful reminder of the intellectual freedom that persists in American politics in spite of the deadening effect of money. I have written before about the need for those of us with claims to impartiality to treat those the parties regard as fringe candidates seriously; it is not for us to attack or defend, but to report and analyse."
WHERE IS YOUR REPORT OR ANALYSIS OF RON PAUL'S SUCCESS??? He is NOT even a fringe candidate anymore, that label more accurately describes Rudy or Fred Thompson. Paul has secured all-time Record donations and NOT from corporate backers buying the candidate and influence, but all raised from tiny spontaneous donations averaging $100.00??? This is the solution to the party funding crisis in the UK. If the candidate actually supports what the nation wants, and is dedicated, honest and has a record of selfless genuine public service in the mould of Ron Paul, then money comes flooding in.
Justin, you act like a bought and paid for pawn of the CFR corporate elite, not a journalist. Your reportage of this election campaign is third rate rubbish.
YOU (and the other mainstream "propaganda merchants") are the reason why the mainstream is losing massive market share to the blogs. You cannot tell all the truth and have to distort and omit and sometimes blatantly lie to keep with the agenda. We know blatant BS when we see it and we are getting a big dump from you.
All Ron Paul supporters want is fair and honest and accurate reporting, then the message will take care of itself.
