A new study by Pew Research Center confirms that the
establishment is terrified of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign gaining
momentum – figures show that despite his top tier showing in national
polls, the Texan Congressman has received the least media coverage out
of all the Republican candidates.
“Ron Paul loyalists have been vindicated. After months
of observations that the mainstream media was ignoring the libertarian
standard-bearer, a new study by the Pew Research Center’s Project for
Excellence in Journalism shows just that: the Texas Congressman, who has
consistently polled in the high single digits — Real Clear Politics’s
aggregate poll currently has him at 8 percent — has received the least
overall coverage of any candidate. From May 2 to October 9, Paul
appeared as the “primary newsmaker in only 2% of all election stories,” reports the Atlantic Wire’s John Hudson.
The figures, compiled from a list of 52 of the top
mainstream news sources encompassing newspapers, cable news, and
broadcast television, show that even the likes of Tom Pawlenty, who quit
his candidacy last month due to lack of support, and John Huntsman,
have received significantly more mainstream press coverage than Paul.
It’s not just news coverage where Paul has been deliberately sidelined. A scientific study undertaken by the University of Minnesota also shows that Paul has been given the least speaking time out of all the candidates during the Republican debates so far.(CONTINUE READING)
