In the media frenzy that has surrounded the Tasering of University of Florida student Andrew Meyer during a September John Kerry forum, one voice has been missing from the conversation — Meyer’s. Now that he has been cleared of criminal charges, Meyer, 21, is speaking out for the first time on TODAYshow.com.
In the following Q&A completed via e-mail, Meyer sets the record straight...

TODAYshow.com: What is your biggest criticism of the media in covering your story?
Meyer: I haven’t seen any mainstream news outlet once dissect the questions I asked the Senator. Everything is about me personally or the taser. This is the type of tabloid journalism prevalent in America today. When my story is over, they won’t start covering Blackwater or Ron Paul. It’ll be Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, business as usual.

‘When my story is over, they won’t start covering Blackwater or Ron Paul. ‘
Its telling we all know Blackwater is all over the news for weeks now, and Ron Paul as well, but this nutcase hasn’t ‘seen it’.
The world these idiots live in is aptly described as the ‘Land of the Blind’.
Whats funny is they think Ron Paul has one good eye.
That makes perfect sense now
Paultard PING! ;)
Is anyone really surprised?
When idiots like this say that the media "won't cover" something, they mean that the media isn't presenting the whacko conspiracy theory du jour as unvarnished truth.
“Media Frenzy”???
Andrew Who?
Your 15 minutes are up, Andy!
LOL!
...maybe he should tase Ron Paul....Get him the coverage he deserves.
This kid’s 15 minutes is up by my offical watch.
When the story and video first came out, I felt sorry for this idiot. Now I’m just sorry they didn’t taze him more.
Blackwater started the California fires to clear land for their paramilitary training centers, right?

Well, that certainly indicates the absence of trust in the “mainstream.” I’m sure all these people are reading their own agendas onto Ron Paul—but it says something when all a man has to do is be the underdog, and have a record of independent thinking, in order to attract so much support.
I just wish that all of Ron Paul’s supporters understood the Constitution as well as he does.
Well remember he is at the U of Florida and just came off the world’s largest cocktail party. He may have missed a week or so of news while unconcious.

You and I know this because we’re political junkies.
The average voter will see it as stupidity, because both Paul and Blackwater are all over the news.
That can’t be true. It would be too hilarious.
Based on tased guy’s quotes in the MSM, the Paulites are missing a golden promotional opportunity.
Tonight on Entertainment Tonight..MSNBC reports...Ron Paul linked with both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
