However, that would be wrong. According to the official records submitted, Ron Paul raised $4.5 million during the quarter, making him SECOND PLACE, behind only Romney in fundraising ability.
I have to ask, why on earth would supposedly unbiased reporters do something like this? Whether you like/support Dr. Paul or not, whether or not you think he has a chance to win, doesn't the concept of fair reporting require that his fundraising receive equal recognition as that of the other registered candidates?
If anybody in the mainstream media is wondering why their influence is falling and why people don't trust them to be objective and informative, this might serve as a decent lesson.
Maybe they did not do it on purpose. Suppose with the lower quality of journalism lately, perhaps they simply forgot? I smell poo.. I think they forgot to wipe as well. Oh well they can use this article :) *print button*

I suppose that is possible, but I find it unlikely. And besides, isn't "forgetting" merely a subconsconcious expression of their bias? (grin)
ReplyDeleteI love psycho-babble...
They put a corrected one up this morning with an estimated $4.5-4.6 million for Dr. Paul. One of the talking heads said something to the effect that he was shocked by Dr. Paul's fundraising.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling when the official numbers come out on the 18th, he'll be in even better shape than the estimate.
