LOL!! The President can’t even get headlines from the MSM, how do you expect Fred to do so, if the MSM isn’t interested in getting his name out there, except in a negative way?
I think we overestimate the media - they’re kinda like a referee...yeah, we hate them for bad calls, but it’s the teams fault for letting it come down to a ref’s decision.
Good point. I sense a lot of frustration in the posts in this thread. Such high hopes, and now FR only has 1 per cent, compared to 8 percent for Ron Paul?

The candidates are at the mercy of the shows' editors. Those editors decide what is, and is not, news, and what will lead off a program. I saw a thread here yesterday that mentioned a program that spent 15 minutes talking about the Democrat candidates, and about 90 seconds talking about the Republicans. That's bias, and something the Republicans have to overcome. The only ones benefitting from the media are those who the media want to highlight in order to muddy the waters for the campaign. They know what we know; the race is wide open this year, and we could tear ourselves apart if we get too vitriolic about this. I've seen this happening on FR, and it is very disheartening. No need to be nasty about other candidates, just state your guy's good point, and discuss the actions of your opponents. No need to get personal and ugly.
At some point, we WILL have a nominee, and I, for one, will vote for him. He may not be my first or even second choice, but I know that this country will be better off with a Republican in the White House, than with ANY of the Democrats. We don't have the luxury of letting the Democrats win and try to take it back in four years, after they've flubbed up. The world is a far too dangerous place for that, now.
