The irony of Ron Paul getting shafted by Diebold and FOX News--DELICIOUS!

Did anyone see when Bill Moyers asked Ron Paul how he felt about the deregulated, consolidated media working to shut him out? Deer in headlights.

1. It wasn't as good as when Moyers asked him about the racism.

You could read his thoughts. "Oh shit! He wasn't supposed to ask about that!"

:rofl:

BILL MOYERS: But it isn't the government that is requiring Fox News to keep you on the air ways. It's not the government making those decisions about who get heard or not. It is these companies with--

RON PAUL: Well.

BILL MOYERS: --who own, as you say, a lot of the media out there.

RON PAUL: But I think it's still to this philosophy they believe in. They believe in war. And they believe in the military industrial complex. And some of these companies that are mixed in with making profits off war. So, they're not going to have the same attitude about going to war as I might have. But I think that's still a reflection of their philosophy rather than the fact that they're a media company.

6. ron paul is an advocate for an unregulated economy

even more unregulated as it is today. As in get rid of all the rules and the corporations will play fair and give everyone a fair shake. It never occured to paul and his advocates that the already unregulated and consolidated media is a prime example of what is wrong with deregulation and that his media blackout is just desserts.
