Paul Wins NV Straw Poll in Absentia, Beats Romney Who Spoke in Person
So what is wrong with MSNBC's coverage of this development?
DESPITE SHOWING UP IN PERSON, ROMNEY LOSES NEV. STRAW POLL. The whole article is about the number one loser, not the winner. This reminds me of the straw poll that Dr. Paul came in 4th and the major media reported 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th. This is getting pretty absurd. Paul is surging in fundraising, winning outright or placing high in straw polls left and right (i.e. translating his "internet support" into people that actually show up in person to vote), and when he beats live frontrunners without showing up the story is . . . Romney. Lol. |

This is getting ridiculous. It's obscene how much power the media has, where they can determine the front runners by giving them mass airtime whenever they feel like.

He's not covered much because no one really cares about someone who has no chance of winning. Compare Paul's coverage with that of any other minor candidate in any other campaign.
Or, make up a media conspiracy/bias. I'll go with Occam. |

The reason some of these candidates have no chance of winning is because they don't get any media coverage. Ron Paul has a lot of support, he should have been the focus of that article, not Romney. What conspiracy? Its obvious he isn't getting fair coverage.
Though to be honest, he was the topic of the first 2-3 paragraphs of that news article. Those are the most important in any news article, /\ ftw. |

Ron Paul has no chance to win because he doesn't get media coverage.

Neither. The MSM does not decide who the front running candidates are, they report on who the front running candidates are. This is based on who raises the most money and who has the most poll (real polls: ) support. Paul is polling at about 2-3%, which is not good. However, he has done reasonably well in fundraising and several MSM articles about that were posted here.
Paul is getting MSM coverage in the proportion that his support suggests. I understand the point about McCain, but I suspect that has to do with inertia with regard to his early front runner status and his past results in the primary arena. Also, McCain's chances are much better than Paul's. |
