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 Meyers. Now that he has been cleared of criminal charges, Meyer, 21, is speaking out for the first time on TODAYshow.com.

TODAYshow.com: What is your biggest criticism of the media in covering your story?
Meyer: I havent 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 wont start covering Blackwater or Ron Paul. Itll be Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, business as usual.

I laughed my butt off!
While I support legalizing drugs, I do not support Ron Paul.
‘Often times liberals will provide “proof” of their argument by quoting some news story. But when you read what they actually provided it actually backs up my arguments, sometimes almost word for word. These nut balls out there just ignore the relevant information and insert their own reality.’
Par for the course with liberals in the year 2007.
I support legalizing Ron Paul but not drugs.
The problem with his perception is that he doesn’t see that he, himself has joined the ranks of Hilton and Spears - he may as well enjoy the limelight while it lasts.
I think this kid should become some kind of campaign liason officer to help build a bridge between between the white power groups and the anarchists.
Oh, and he’d better lay off the Greg Palast reading - he might become crazy or something if he keeps doing that.
I’ve got news for Andrew Meyer — Kerry WAS asked about his membership in Skull & Bones during the 2004 campaign — on Meet the Press, as I recall.
