Jon Stewart On The Campaign News Coverage Of Ron Paul

We rarely agree with Jon Stewart, but his criticism of the manipulation of the campaign news coverage to count out Ron Paul struck a nerve with us. The news media is trying to manipulate this race.

  1. Your absolutely right and thank you Jon

  2. At least Jon Stewart calls it like it is. The media is trying to bury Ron Paul because he is bitter medicine to every vested interest in this country starting with Big Media and moving right through Big Pharma, Big Agriculture, the military indistrial complex, Unions, Big Education.

    Hey Jon ~ I will have to agree with you on this point. They just acted like he was some old befuddled man when in reality he spoke a great many truths. He says what he feels and feels what he says. I did agree with his comments about most everything. I just wasn't sure about the polygamy; that seemed to throw everyone. It appears that even had he won first place they would have downplayed it. It seems like it has always been this way about him. Like he is a joke. They should listen; he makes alot of sense.

    • Ron Paul makes lot more sense than the ones the MSM are pushing. This is it folks, time to tell the MSM to get sold. You don't want them because their damaged goods. You don't want what they are selling because they lie by omission. We don't like lairs or losers, we don't like Obama or MSM.

      Obama is at 39% job approval rating and Ron Paul is at 84% job approval rating. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?…Ron-Paul….. – Cached

      Stewart is showing it like it is, the MSM is trying to effect the election. The Associated Press is the tree of this evil, the News Media Guild are the roots. Bring 'em both down, don't buy their ads don't buy their lies.

    Thank you Jon and God Bless you Ron Paul!

    Ron Paul 2012!!

    • I believe that the entire Republican candidacy will be ignored by the media!! They elected Obozo, our Liar in Chief by really pushing him, while McCain…who is no better…got ignored by the press!
      I don't know how the Republicans can get their message out, as the media will contradict it at every step!!…We are getting close to the point when Leftist will rule all!!!

    The GOP and the Communist News Network, are doing everything in their imagined power to ensure Obama has another term as President. So far, Ron Paul is the only true Conservative, and Constitution supporter for President. At best, the other candidates are RINOs, and warmongers. If we are going to be given another Juan McCain, I will withhold my vote and allow them to give it to Obama. No more the lesser of two evils; if Conservative voters want a real Conservative, and make sure a real one is our candidate. This means Ron Paul is your only choice. Time to grow up voters, and keep the women and children at home. No more endless nation building wars, and bloated government.

    • If you dont know about Ron Paul, you should take the time to do some research. He has always been very consistant in his beliefs and in his speaches. The reason the mainstream media and the big boys in DC try to blow him off is because Ron Paul would be the broom that cleans up DC ! HE IS THE TRUE FATHER OF THE GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT !

      • Good post Peeper, let me add to it.

    The one and only time that I can sat, "Right on Jon". I can't believe that I am really agreeing with this LIB, I just hope it's him that's changing somewhat, and not me. So, here I go, "you go Jon".

  7. EyesOpen007 says:

    Come on people, you need to learn the difference between "conservative" and "libertarian". Otherwise you sound so politically illiterate and lose all credibility.

    • Your full of it. Today they are the same and Ron Paul is both.
      You don't like that pompous one? Let me tear you a new one.

  8. John P Thomassen says:

    I agree. The MSM are not fair to Ron Paul.

  9. Ron Paul is the only politician that REALLY understands the meaning of The Constitution … he may not have all the best answers on foreign policy, but 4 years of him as President should fix our country up pretty fast … we might even learn to like that and give him 4 more years. It will take the medicine of Ron Paul to undo the grievous damage that ineligible fraudster Obama/Soetero has perpetrated upon us. :) To pretend that he doesn't exist is a media crime right in front of your eyes. @@/

    • Stewart is showing it like it is, the MSM is trying to effect the election. The Associated Press is the tree of this evil, the News Media Guild are the roots. Bring 'em both down, don't buy their ads don't buy their lies. Contact your local paper Letters to the Editor and tell them you want to hear from real journalists not that hacked BS from the Asso. Press.

      This is their unions phony lying pitch..
      The News Media Guild is a labor union dedicated to quality journalism through fair working conditions for the men and women who provide the news.
      The Guild represents workers at The Associated Press, United Press International, and employees of the Spanish EFE News Service (it's one after another all telling the same lies.)

  10. I guess RP appeals to a few liberals too.
    RP is right, bring our military home.
    We do not get paid to police the world, and end foreign aid, and end the FED.
    RP in 2012! ! !
    donate $20,12 to RP for his birthday in 4 days, he deserves it.
    A moral and ethical American patriot. . .

  11. I ASSUME THEY ARE BASING IT OFF OF THE NATIONAL POLLS AND NOT THE IOWA STRAW POLL.?

    • I'm losing you Alexia, Iowa was the National poll, one and the same. Michelle spent a lot Ron spent nothing, Michelle one by less than 200 votes, Ron is the bigger winner and the MSM want to keep it a little secret. Michelle won't audit the Fed, Ron will.

      They are very afraid of Ron Paul and Sarah, Michelle not so much.

  12. The same thing happend in the last Presidential Polls and election. Paul had won two polls and that was never reported. We never were told his vote score. There was a claim that the new voting counters were programmed to not count his votes and redirect some to a 'favored candidate'. ~Rick Magee, Fl

    • wouldn't that,… shouldn't that be just really illegal? We need a Ron Paul to fix things so we can elect a Ron Paul! Now that's a conundrum isn't it?

    • I got a fix for that. You can get one too. http://www.votetrustusa.org/index.php?option=com_
      ELECTRONIC PAPER-BALLOT VOTING
      Dec. 16 2004/PRNewswire/ — The federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) have approved a new, innovative voting machine that is the first electronic system to meet new federal standards by combining the advantages, flexibility and simplicity of computer-based touch screen voting with the assurances provided by a tangible paper ballot. By using the best of both approaches, the Populex system is designed to restore voter confidence that their votes will be counted accurately.

  13. Heck Rick Perry is a Bilderberg member as were both Bush's and Kissinger, clintons,Carter,Biden, Chris Christy Fmr Gov from NJ(Female). Interestin that tody the Socialist Democrats USA (Communists) released the 70 Democratic Office holders (Progressive Democrats) in power. Palosi's name was left off. ~Rick Magee, Fl

  14. everyone is running with their tails between their legs because they are afraid that he will clean up the mess and put this train back on the tracks. i am voting for him and will tell everyone else to also. i think he is the man for the job. all perry is ,is a suit and another screw up. i am from texas and i know. he tried to give a foreign entity a road we already paid for and was going to let them turn it into a toll road. there he goes giving our stuff away. we are tired of these thieves and their ways. they all think that seat gives them the right to give our stuff away. we the people are tired of it. and to think he does this prayer thing to get some votes. what is he going to do about turning this country around.just talk, talk, talk….i bet my life savings that paul is our man.

    Jon Stewart Is Not Very Bright And Not Funny For Sure, However Ron Paul Needs A VP And I Think Every Nut Case Needs A Jon Stewart Vice Pres. God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots.

    • Hi Carol, I think would be good as the Ron Paul VP, West, Palin or Rand Paul, they are the right type.

      By the way, what does "And I Think Every Nut Case Needs A Jon Stewart Vice Pres." mean?
      You didn't call Ron our hero a nut case did you? Our man that has over 80% job approval rating while there is no one else that even comes close. and Obama is at 39%. Explain yourself please if you will.

  16. Kevin Beck says:

    I typically ignore Jon Stewart, but since I watched this video, I am appalled.

    The press is supposed to report what happens, not pick and choose which candidates they cover. In other words, report on the events, not become part of the events. This was the reason Fox News started and has been successful for the last 15 years. Now they are morphing into what they have long criticized, where they are deciding which campaigns are "relevant." When Chris Wallace and Bret Baier make a decision not to cover Ron Paul's campaign "because he will not win the nomination," then they have crossed over the line. Just a year ago, they were covering campaigns of candidates that all the other press were saying, "This candidate can't win," yet many of those candidates were Tea Party candidates, and quite a few won.

    If they want to keep with truth in advertising, then they may have to drop the "We report–you decide" motto, since they are now becoming just like their rivals.

  17. This is just a prime example of how our political system is nothing more than a dog and phoney show.
    How can you explain to our young ones that honesty and integrity are key points in life, with such very bad examples of lying,manipulating, cheating? granted we are not the only country guilty of this,but at one time, we use to be a country everyone admired and looked up too and wanted to come and be a part of…and in some degree, still do but for the taking, as we have given away the farm until there is nothing left for us,except to join the ranks of the corrupt,and greedy who have only one thing in mind and thats control of the masses. The media is doing a fine job of keeping up with the Jone's,stirring up trouble to grab the ratings. What they are doing is so wrong to RP but they snubbed him in the last election too, because he poses a threat to all that is going on in our system and wants to clean it up….

  18. Lynnette42 says:

    Thank you again Jon Stewart! Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that I would consider voting for next time. He was also the only one to consistently get cheers at the last GOP debate. The media including Fox and the liberal talking heads are all pushing Romney, Bachman and now Perry–Paul wins the Iowa strawpole but no comment about it in the media. It's sad we've now allowed the media on all side report bull shit instead of the objective truth. The liberal media elected Obama and pooped all over Clinton… I'm voting for Ron!

  19. Re: Media's Blackout of Paul's Presidential Candidacy

    Difficult to believe that Paul came in 2nd on recent straw poll, tho he's OK with Iran's development of a nuclear bomb ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It's also difficult to understand why so few oppose him for this! ! !
    I'm pleased the media's apparently ignoring this guy. Paul knows tiny, free, democratic Israel would be tyrannical Islamic Iran's first target He's even worse than de facto Muslim Obama re Israel!!!
    Paul should be regarded as more than a dangerous Isolationist.
