Question

Why is C-SPAN the ONLY television media outlet that gives Ron Paul and others FAIR media time?

Answer 1

They don't have to sell air time.

Answer 2

Ron Paul is still running for the Republican Nomination that processes has been resolved.  

Answer 3

CSPAN is the least-biased news network on cable television. I can't say that they lack any sort of opinion, but compared to FoxNews (heavily biased), CSPAN looks fairly nonpartisan.

Unlike FoxNews and MSNBC, they gave Ron Paul a fair amount of media time because they are attempting to deliver news in an unbiased manner.

Answer 4

Why would media outlets cover candidates that aren't in the election anymore?

Answer 5

Because they are probably the least biased out of the others.  The speakers were knowledgeable and not just spouting slogans like the Democrats and Republicans do.  Does either ever mention lowering the debt and balancing the budget?

And I have not heard one reasonable refutation of why the Federal Reserve system is so good for us and that printing money out of thin air solves anything.

Answer 6

Because no one is watching anyway! lol

Answer 7

Because they are the true, "FAIR & BALANCED" network. The one that claims to be is full of $hi+   !

Answer 8

i had to go online we only had cspan 1 here

Answer 9

Because it is not just advertising its corporate preference but is trying to deliver news.  

Did you see Ron Paul's entrance to his rally?

I understand there were about 750 delegates and alternates who supported Ron Paul although most were bound to vote for McCain (or in the case of Utah had prevented Utah from switching to McCain from Romney and were having a delegate revolution to force a state by state vote count that would have highlighted Ron Paul's support, even post delegate purge.)  

The RNC had called Nevada 'inept' in just turning out the lights and fleeing the state convention that was in the process of electing a supermajority of delegates for Ron Paul, but then the RNC mostly confirmed the state party designated delegates (appointed in a conference call) in any event except for the 4 Paul delegates who had already been elected on the air in the convention before the state party walked out.  This left Ron Paul without a real 'nomination' ability (other states had been purged less obviously, but if you checked state by state, rules were simply ignored pretty much across the board.)

At that point, forcing a state by state roll call was the best Paul delegates could do, and eventually there  was a negotiated vote whereby McCain got 'all' votes except 6 - 4 for Ron Paul and 2 for Utah (remember the Utah supporters couldn't swing their vote to RP on the first ballot but could hold the state for Romney.)  I can't say I know all of the details yet, but that is the general outline from what I understand.

And he will be on Colbert tonight.

Thanks for the question.

Answer 10

I don't know, but I saw a little bit of their Rally, and I'm sorry to say, it was a joke

Answer 11

Because C-SPAN doesn't have to worry about ratings like MSNBC, FOX, and CNN.  

Answer 12

C-Span is owned by George Soros. Witness the caption yesterday "Republican National Convention" and then hours of protesters even further left than your inexperienced choice Hussein. When a reporter called a woman in Pennsylvania and she said she was voting for McCain he argued with her and tried to change her vote. You call this FAIR?

Many of the protesters wanted all of the Jews evacuated from 'Palestine" and left to the Arabs. Is this part of Hussein's platform?

Answer 13

I love C-span.  They should run the country.  

Answer 14

WHO?
