lol…bravo for Paul and his team.

That was the definition of a junk question.

Ron Paul is disgusting. I was really thinking about voting for him. I’m a disenchanted obama voter rooting for him. It was a fair question. Trust me, Griff Jenkins is worse. He’s one of many conservative activists in Fox News Staff.
That was a junk question and likely an untrue story but why couldnt he answer it??

He’s going a little overboard with the whole ‘Media hates me.’ C’mon, get over it! Your like Conan after the NBC mess… waah! wahhh!

Yeah, junk question is a good description.

It’s not a partisan question it’s JUST STUPID and AIR HEADED. The kind of question that a person who watches Dancing with the Stars and X Factor would say “Yeah, why didn’t he shake that woman’s hand!??”

It’s not a matter of the question being inherently fair or unfair, it was a STUPID question.

Some lady in Iowa says she isn’t going to vote for Ron Paul because she didn’t get to meet him. So? 

Does it speak to the quality of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo that Daniel Craig won’t be at her local theater? Does she think less of U2′s new album because Bono isn’t there to personally bag the CD for her?

Perhaps if you’d had opportunity to witness the total number of times CNN has done its best to smear Ron Paul you’d see things differently.

No shit stain, it was a ridiculous question….follow the news if you want to sound remotely relevant.  

Picture Dana Bash asking this exact question to The Unicorn Prince. Only in Dreams.

What is Mike Barnicle’s brother doing standing behind Paul?

Get over it! Wahhh! Wahhhh!

This makes Ron Paul look worse. He should’ve answered it even though it was a junk question because it was fair. They would’ve asked any other candidate the same question. Any other news organization can ask that question.

Are Americans really Sheep?

Wikipedia Reference 2hrs ago

“In response to the Wikipedia’s discussion on “ Media
Manipulation”.  Media manipulation
is an aspect of public relations in which partisans create an image or argument
that favors their particular interests”. 

 In national
broadcasting, Censorship and Media programming are integrated. Combined they
form psychological manipulation. That said, large media organizations widely
utilize these tools without using propaganda, thus no one has accountability or
liability. Google Wikipedia Media Manipulation and tell a friend…..

If you watch Main stream media on a daily basis and find
journalists and commentaries missing key

Points or other views. BEWARE there is a very good reason.

Well people like her and you dont understand principles if you were thinking about voting for him and got turned off because the way he talked or if he was unable to shake a voters hand. Thats why you also voted for Barrack Obama..you have no concept of our founding principles. If you are that easily swayed..stay with Obama he seems like your wishy washy type.

Get out of here your just a Republican Shill or Obama worshiper..the truth is everyone is allot more scared of Dr. Paul running against Obama than Mitt the Twitt Romney.

You’re a liar sir.

What a dumb bitch.

Ron Paul doesn’t like groups!! We are all Americans!! You should know that!! I WAS an Obama worshiper.. politicians are all the same…so is Ron Paul. 

Easy to call me names, where’s the lie? 

Yet another post to lend credence to the proposition that the left is intellectually dead.

Haha, ask Ron Paul about his newsletters. Ask him why he can’t just come out and say he is a reformed racist. He avoids the tough questions. Politicians..they’re all the same.

You have to understand the context. This is the same reporter who just last week said she is worried about how long his campaign will continue. She has zero credibility as a journalist.

I’m a sweet, friendly, honest, caring girl in search of “the
one”. I’ve been single for over two years .Finding love can be tough
enough but finding a mate that’s wealthy can even be harder.

RichFlirt.org…it meant to be the place to connect with beautiful
and successful people. Check it out and flirt with those wealthy, handsome or
beautiful! What else are you waiting for ?

Why is he avoiding questions about his newsletters? He can just say he is a reformed racist. I’m still voting for him because of his stance on Israel but he’s really not that different from the others.

Good Lord – this article is loaded with typos and grammatical errors….you need a new editor post haste!!!  In the meantime, clean it up please.

And Ron Paul is exactly right…CNN in particular is bad and Dana is a partisan hack, big time anyway.  Rachel tried to ambush Paul and was unsuccessful, as per the articlehere on mediaite.  Dana is just one more reason to not watch CNN.

The media have no standards anymore; they just lie, cheat and steal.  Dana would bat her eyelashes and smile at himself and ask if he needs another pillow….there would be none of this kind of interaction with Obama, that is for sure.

I hope everyone in this thread who agrees with Paul will also admit that O’Reilly’s question to Obama was also pure unadulterated junk….
“Does it disturb you that so many people hate you?

She didn’t look confused, Francis  That’s a little Op-ed of you. She looked as if she was chocking down a smile to prevent herself from breaking into a fit of cackling giggles.

Paul supporters should be outraged over Iowa and the CIA’s control of the media. Yeah the media is biased, but not like now. Unelected officials have taken over Washington and are orchestrating the daily news. 99% of the comments and replies you’re reading online come from an NSA software program spamming the internet. Comments are created before the stories are ever reported. The oldest, first, highest, best, and most popular rated comments are all propaganda. They are conducting Psy-ops (psychological operations) for domestic spying. They have 1000′s of handles and are determined to bury the truth and attack anyone leaking it.

The next election is shaping up to be as big of a sham as the last. Do you know why Sarah Palin’s bus tour was really canceled? Do you know why she stayed 30 miles away from the second debate and chose the death of Steve Jobs to announce that she’s not running? Know what leaked out? Sarah Palin and Cain aren’t in the race for the same reason, the truth leaked out. The link in my name exposes the biggest cover up that no one can report on

Good one government troll who doesn’t want funding cut

Ron Paul is about freedom, something government trolls think needs to be exported to other countries and denied to Americans

How is it a “junk question” but “fair?”

A large spaced out reference to Wikipedia, thanks but I’ll pass

In everything you post government coward lying troll

“news organizations?” You mean the so called “freedom of press” the CIA now controls after the coup?

Earlier, you said you were “thinking about voting for him” but now aren’t.

But not you’re are. Which is it?

Do have to be a piece of chit to work for the CIA or is this something teach prior to election rigging 101?

It’s psy-ops you’re wasting you time. As is everyone who still believe we have a democracy

I like t when candidates walk out on baited questions. 
The media needs to be brought to heel, and this is how it is done.

Aren’t you the same woman on wrote on “baord” today?

Thanks for reminding me I need to pull the weights on mu cuckoo clock tonight. Cuckoo. Cuckoo. Cuckoo.

Again, it’s not about fairness. It’s about being a question worth answering, and this one isn’t. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbxsmcT7GOk

This is how I imagine all the CNN reporters asking Obama this same kins of question:

“A woman who was a New Hampshire voter, voted for you in 2008… if she
would’ve been about to shake your hand and look you in the eye, you
would’ve gotten her vote,” Bash noted. “But a racist Republican got in her way because all White people hate Black people, so how are you going to stop these racist Republicans?”

yup, sure am TRRE.  Certainly you are not comparing anony posters to paid authors on this board are you?  Really….you wanna go there? 

Ron Paul is complaining about losing 1 vote??

Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a child?

yes, i am also a bilderberger…

yes it is..

im iffy but yea im voting for him

I’m a part of the librul media conspiracy. Shh, I’m in a meeting right now!

Yes, I am a freemason..You caught me!!!

Actually, I liked what you said.

He should answer the question and stop the drama.

Yes, I am also trying to cut funding to Alex Jones

Mediaite is taking this comment moderation a little too far..How was that distasteful?

keep covering up chitstain

@Hyperbolic. with all respect  I encourage you to listen to Ron Paul’s message! Why were you thinking on voting for Ron Paul? Because you like any of his policies? Maybe because he is honest? or because he represents real change… Then this superficial incident (clearly a junky question) shouldn’t be a threat to your vote decision. An this logic will apply to any other candidate. 

now you’re on my side chitstain?

no just a government chitstain coward committing treason

another cowardly attack.

While this is a particularly blatant example of media bias against Ron Paul, I would caution everybody to never relax your vigilance against the MSM.  They will never support Ron Paul, even when they seem to be building him up.  
Look at their advertising base.  Look at who they are owned by (folks like Rupert Murdoch) and where they make their money.  Paul will be eliminating many of the government programs that give substantial preferential treatment or outright welfare to these companies.  Take note of the truly independent commentators and the blatant hacks for future reference.  Recommend that people get their information from alternative, unbiased sources on the internet. 

Answering the question just gives legitimacy to the premise. The media needs to be called out on their idiotic questions and smear campaigns. 

get banned much? rhetorical question, patsy

Not to mention – the entire first paragraph is one huge run-on sentence. 

We don’t mean to poke fun at you, mediaite, it’s just that your articles are much too often riddled with TONS of spelling errors. 

New rules annouced today by mediaite.

He can do that in the question rather than blow it up. If he answered the question with that answer, it would have been on tv.

what are you saying? Christian? Are you anti-Christian?

NO, IM COVERING UP MY CHITSTAIN!

Only if you really looked like your avatar nutso.

I never knew governments had chitstains? Is there a picture?

Hello, Texan!

Please don’t feed the trolls and/or nutjobs.

CNN’s liberal lock-step agenda has been exposed once again. CNN is the official Democrat Party News Agency and will continue to do anything and everything they can paint the GOP/Conservatives/the Right in a negative light, by hook or by crook. CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS should combine to form the LWN, left-wing news, and stop pretending to be a) unbiased, b) non-partisan, c) journalists, d) relevant. They live to create these moments in further attempt to depict Paul and other GOP candidates as kooky, uncooperative, and someone to be dismissed or mocked or both. But in reality, what would you expect by a network owned by Ted Turner? 

According to Websters.
A chit is : 1) A child   2) a pert young woman.

1. The PRESS prevented someone from getting to shake Ron Paul’s hand by mobbing him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCuSVZGFBug) at the restaurant.
2. Said person decides she isn’t going to vote for Ron Paul, because she didn’t get to shake his hand.
3. One of the same PRESS that prevented said person from meeting Ron Paul, poses a question asking what he thinks about this lost vote.

Stupid question.
Stupid voter.

Yeah, I’d shove my country the rest of the way down the toilet just because someone didn’t shake my hand, too.

Why does the media keep asking Paul this question but they never go after Obama about his affiliation with the racist Jeremiah Wright or the terrorist Bill Ayers?
Shouldn’t the people that Obama chose to physically spend his time with be more of the concern to the American people than what some unknown d-bag wrote in a newsletter owned by Paul 20 or so years ago?

Oh right, we’re dealing with “liberals” here. Logic and common sense need not apply.

Yeah Coup Coup, I get it. You’re here 24 hours a day. Thanks for your comment. Troll on.

Me too! I think we met at the conference!

that’s great, if all government trolls dominating the conversation here vote for him he could be elected and cut your funding 

OMG!
You guys are worse than Mormons.

Prude.

So you’re voting for someone you’ve attacked throughout this thread?

Why?

We have a corporate media; which is far more devious than a state-controlled one.

So, Dr.Paul do you still beat your wife? Yes or No. 
Keep up with your cheap shots I will not weep for your demise.
In the words of Joe Dirt’s mother; “is this were you want to be when Jesus comes back”
Good luck with your soul Dana Bash. I hope the pay check was worth it…
And you mock ignorance, how ironic.

Ad Hominem Attacks….the last refuse of a coward.

I’m always looking to expose Ron Paul for the grinch, do nothing, grifter that he is, BUT in this case, it absolutely was a junk question that seemed to be going nowhere.

Paul’s handler was right to cut off the reporter, and move his establisment puppet over to the Fox (pretend) News reporter.

I agree. Paul’s handler was right to move his establishment puppet over to the friendly confines of Fox news propagandist.

Paul is not in charge of his campaign anymore.
The handlers are in charge now.

I say again. He did not refuse to answer.

His handler jumped in and told Paul not to answer it.

i didnt get the memo

Ron Paul’s handlers must have intercepted it

how was the kool aide?

Paul seemed to think it was worth answering.

He started to answer.

But the handler stepped in.

Oh, OK. Good point, but I’m going to whip out ‘no it isn’t, times infinity’, which is equally as good an argument as ‘yes it is’.

 I think Ron Paul is very Polite and Nice Person.

It’s the best time
to make a few plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I’ve read this
post and if I may I desire to suggest you some interesting things or
suggestions.

If these jokers can’t handle the press then how can they handle the international community? 

If it was such a “junk question” then it should have been easy for him to address and redirect into a more productive direction.

Half the time it’s not what a candidate says in response but how they handle the question to begin with.

It should have been an EASY question to answer.

How about: “If I wasn’t able to meet a potential voter I’m really sorry about it. I try to meet as many folks as possible, but I’m not always able to meet as many as I’d like. I hope she reconsiders.”

Well, that was tough.

You want a *stupid* comment from a politica? How about that make-believe story Michele Bachmann trotted out about the mythical woman who said her daughter had become mentally retarded due to the HPV vaccine? If that gal exists, she sure never bothered to make herself known even when people asked for her to come forward.

Why not talking about the real problems? Why the media generate this kind of stupidity to make people vote for a candidate based on the irrelevancies instead of his program how to deal with core problems of the modern society?

friendly confines??? Not even Fox news likes Ron Paul, what show were you watching?

How is this distasteful? Get a grip on reality buddy, you think its not distasteful to have hundreds of media people their wishing to get some decent questions for Ron Paul, and this hag has the nerve to ask one of many of her atrocious attempt at journalism? What is your next excuse? 

If you had a nickle for every 1 liner you wrote I would believe you.

It appears there might be reason to believe a Jewish American like Dana Bash might have issues with Ron Paul’s foreign policy positions vis-a-vis Israel — thus the obvious bias.

Thank goodness for the occasional anal retentive grammar nazi who makes an effort to point out our grammatical err…Time for you to rest oh vigilant one. So back away from the computer and take your pill.

Bash is trash. CNN is useless.

Ms. Martel is is participating in another anti-Ron Paul hit piece. Apart from the condescending title, she wants to direct the undecided voters against Dr. Paul by alluding that there is further inappropriate conduct because he pointed a finger at her chest. This is another childish attempt to discredit the Ron Paul campaign that most people can see through right away.

The media generated the circus like atmosphere that day so the voters couldn’t get a chance to see and hear Dr. Paul. Then, when circus that they created was closed down, they conveniently blamed  Dr .Paul. An act typical of an infant throwing a tantrum.

Of course, the media will not mention the fact they also pushed about Dr. Paul’s wife, Carol. That truly shows the despicable nature of this group. 

I can find something positive in everyone, so I can see why some people like Ron Paul. If I were a conservative Republican, I would vote for Ron Paul.

Paul has no chance. He is the “lean backward” candidate. USA is progressive … not regressive.

I think you need to talk to James B. Powell about reformation.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=IEd7F5wBrqI&feature=iv&v=h6C-mU2dVy0&annotation_id=annotation_887768

Yeah, they used to be the 4th estate, and the watchdog for the American people. Now they are the lap dog for big bank and their Federal Reserve cronies.

Pay more attention to the progression of the media attack on Ron Paul. You can’t deny it is happening if you are observing it week to week. Ron Paul is a threat to mainstream media and their corporate ownership who want an ignorant public.

This “reporter” works for CNN, one of the worst we have in media. She was trying to make Ron Paul look like he doesn’t care about the voter, but that’s just part and parcel of this media assault. They began ignoring him in 2008, then they used him for a financial guru to explain how Obamanomics was hurting more than helping, then they tried to put him back in the bag.

Can’t be done… so media tried ignoring him, fell on their face… next, they ridiculed him… failed, attacked him (and gave him more face time and name recognition)… failed again.
Now, their even blitzing him in small restaurants… RON PAUL is not going away…

Thank God for that..  

Hyperbolic, if you vote for Obama again, you really think you’ll get what you wanted in 2008? No, it will be worse, and we may even lose the rest of our liberties after BO declares himself King. He’s a dangerous man with need to be powerful.

RON PAUL… do it.

He answered the question and he told the CNN reporter the truth. It was media crap which caused the scene in the restaurant. You need to tune in more on just how much most media fears Ron Paul. Correction… how much media corporate OWNERSHIP fears Ron Paul..

Yea, progressive to more debt, more government, more endless wars.

Where does CNN hire these worthless “journalists” from? I use to respect CNN but see they are really no different from FOX news.

CNN does not have to smear Paul. He has his own version of hoof in mouth disease. He is a sel-proclaimed isolationist (o.k. interventionalist) for you pinheaded Paul supporters. He is willing to sell us down the drain even more so than Obama. Let’s face it, he is becoming more senile every four year election cycle. Now he is to the point that his handlers have to intervene for him as he is not capable of making his own decisions. I am a Tea Party participant and an offended every time Paul claims to represent us. He should retire to a nice comfortable senior center and write his memoirs or something. 

Give it a rest man, no one is going to change their mind about supporting Paul over an obvious stupid question. Paul can’t connect with voters because one woman couldn’t shake his hand? No one here finds any logic in your complaints.

Establishment puppet? Man you guys are ridiculous.

These kinds of things happen in different campaigns!! It is not a big deal and he did answer by saying that all the media got in his way, which is definitely true!!

Ron Paul 2012!! 

Sell us down the drain?  Nonsense. Every time Ron Paul opens his mouth he makes sense.

If you believe gut the military, throw Israel under the bus, and give Iran free rein to develop the bomb to be used on us, then I guess in your mind he makes sense. Of course being a peace activist, I am not surprised at your loyal support to this wierdo. You should study more about WWII and the role the peace activists played in almost giving world domination to Hitler. If your ilk had prevailed, we would all speaking German today and marching to a different drummer than the drums of freedom.

It was a legit question.

He actually never answered the question.

Yes, Obama is some socialist muslim bilderberger king. Yup…

Ron Paul needs to talk to him.

The others are probably worse…

I hope he runs Independent with Ralph Nader as his running mate.
Everything is so screwed up in the R and D ranks he might just make it.
And it is about time an I won.
