Default Re: Why doesn\'t Ron Paul speak the truth re: the bias against him

[ QUOTE ]
Just because some of his ideas aren't easy to digest, that doesn't make them good ideas either.

Right, they might not be good ideas to you, but they are to him. And the point is he holds the ideas anyways, even though he knows they won't play well.

along with his very non-Presidential demeanor, make him look eccentric.

The 4 front runners are a woman, a black man, a mormon, and a short, bald catholic with a lisp.

I don't know if the media is biased or not, but when it comes to those in the public who are paying attention, it isn't bias, it's disagreement.

I'm not talking about the media being biased to like the left or the right. The way the media conducts political debate is absurd. It's just a shouting match of talking points between two people with different underlying beliefs. The media is biased towards the easily digestible belief. Rather than explain honestly what those beliefs are based on, it's easier to say them as if everyone is automatically supposed to agree with your axiom. So then you have politicians whose best strategy is to do the same thing.
