He continues, "In other words, what we need to know to make democracy work for all Americans is compromised by media institutions deeply embedded in the power structures of society."

Imagine for a moment if Barack Obama got "the Kucinich treatment" from the media, or if Ron Paul had received even half the coverage that Mitt Romney did!

Okay, this was really long but I wanted to offer a few fully-formed ideas. I hope everything is great for you!

Actually, I disagree with most of what you've said. The media gave more airtime to candidates deemed as frontrunners, but this extra attention did not translate into votes. If it had, Giuliani would of stood a chance and McCain never would have managed to clinch the nomination.

Ron Paul got few votes not because of the media, but because he had lots of big ideas with no concrete policies to back it up and therefore was unable to hold his own in policy debates with the other candidates.

Don't forget that Giuliani used a radically different strategy than his Republican peers. He chose to largely forgo campaigning in early small states such as Iowa and New Hampshire, pegging his destiny instead to voters in delegate-rich Florida. As a result, though he received many votes in that state he did not break through and withdrew soon after.

Who knows how the race would have turned out if he had used the conventional strategy?

[Razela]

Yah, but it wasn't that he was just not winning. He had practically no votes at all. All the media attention in the world couldn't make people actually like him.

PS. I discovered your video series by the one you did about Mr. Wizard (Don Herbert). He was one of my childhood heroes as well. I remember that experiment you recreated. My favorite one is when he used the table and mirrors to make it appear that one of the kids was decapitated yet the head was still alive.

[Razela]

I don't remember that one! I remember only bits and pieces since I was so young when it was on t.v.

Razela you have many devoted followers--we are all in love with you and your puppies.

Razela for President--all those in favour say "Aye"

[Redman405]

Aye. Lol, if you look at her channel, she has more views on the videos that show a prominent bust. Welcome to the internet dream Rezela. Man's primitive views toward the feminine beauty will never change. But it is visible that you know what power you wield with your glandular assets. Kudos.

RP is really the only hope we had. the polls actually can be friggin skewed, can u fathom such a thing?! it is torture to listen to your "normal" tv watching self. you need to wake up to what is going on. i can tell you have intelligence but have been conditioned to the point that u have no clue what truly is going on.

of course what i say sounds insane but with a bit of reading u really can break through your conditioning. humans have been researched for many years. we are easily trained

I think chicks who like ron paul get an extra +4 on the 1-10 hot scale.

Ron Paul is never mentioned because he is not a member of the CFR it is the same reason Dennis Kucinich never got serious play with the Dems.

[tobywonken]

This is peanuts compared to how unfairly he was treated by the media. Not only did they not include him nearly as much as the "front runners", but when they did include him they constantly did their best to discredit him. Also, we supporters are more dedicated because he is talking about bringing REAL change to the world. Not just the US. I live in Canada and the US economy has brought ours down with it. If he were president, I'd have much more hope for the future.

I think this was the cuter side of politics and I felt like diving into her blouse! :-D

[datalorez]

Great theory, but the polls were also rigged to put Ron Paul in the "other" category as well.

Check out this video, it is a recording of a republican poll call.

He did win a lot of online polls and he did win the republican debates as well when cell phone users and internet users were actively participating in voting.

Not that I'm a fan of Giuliani!
