Question

Why is Ron Paul not being supported by the media?

Answer 1

Ron Paul would cut off aid to Israel and every other country for that matter.  Aid to Israel and support of the occupation of Iraq and the future war with Iran are of highest importance to Zionist owner of most of the media.

Answer 2

Most of the media is now owned by left leaning multi-conglomerates that use the venue to further their own agendas.

Answer 3

Probably because they realize he is a fringe nut.

Flailing his arms around and screeching like a child every time he opens his mouth is not very becoming for a presidential candidate and since every one knows he is a joke and a nut they ignore him.

Too bad some people still cant see the truth about Ron Paul and abandon him and his campaign to the waste bin of history.

Answer 4

Because they know he has no chance of winning.  His "no more politics as usual" tactic has been tried many times in the past, and will never work.  Identifying problems is not the same as identifying solutions.

Answer 5

For the same reason Dennis Kucinich isn't.  Even though they're polar opposites on most issues, they're both as honest as they can be--especially for politicians--and neither will sell out to the status quo.  The system can't let either one of them get too big or things might seriously change, and the real powers that be can't have that-- especially to a clean politician whose principles are still intact--whether it swings to the left or the right.

Answer 6

Who is Ron Paul?

Answer 7

Ron Paul doesnt have a chance of ever seeing the White House. Why would the media waste time on someone who will never win....

Answer 8

They hate America and the American way of life.

Answer 9

Because, like every one of the times in the past that he's run, he is again showing how much of a kook he is.  

Lack of media support in his case is actually helpful.

Answer 10

Because Ron Paul doesn't have a chance in h**l to be elected dog catcher let alone president. He can barely put a whole sentence together. He looks like he's on drugs most of the time. Plus nobody really likes him.

Answer 11

Because he is a Republican.

Answer 12

Because he's a bit of a nut job?

Answer 13

I think mild_irritant has the best response to this question.  Another reason might be because the media typically does not throw its weight behind candidates whose biggest line of support are the Ron Paul cultists on Yahoo! Answers.

Answer 14

Why support someone who has no idea what he is talking about?  Ron Paul is a nut job.

Answer 15

Because he does not pander to the media or the party leaders. He is a man who speaks honestly and follows his beliefs. Although I don't support all of his ideas, I do believe that he is the best person in the race by far.

Answer 16

because he hasn't sold out to big business which runs the media.

Stone, maybe listen to his message instead of critizing the way he spreads it. What do you not agree with and which candidate is better?

Answer 17

Because the media is run by republicans that would love nothing more than to have another robot in office . While he is a republican , he is also someone whom the democrats could work with . Most republicans would rather see our country divided .
