The only thing they can do is take stuff out of context, and lie about him. Unfortunately this crap works on the idiots who consider TV to be edumacation.

FYI...this is alleged to be an answer back from CNN about the poll:
Here's an excerpt:
"...The results mentioned on American Morning came from the National Journal Political Insiders Poll, which is a regular survey of POLITICAL OPERATIVES, strategists, CAMPAIGN CONSULTANTS, and LOBBYISTS in both parties. Their site lists the names of both the Republican and Democrat Insiders who were surveyed for the debate..."

I find the comments interesting, as well...

Yeah, and this crap tactic works on the majority of people, who think they are up on what is going down in the world by watching an hour of news every night.... On the majority of people that only read the sports and comics section of the newspaper.... On the majority of people who have never bothered to see what the hell our government is passing.... People that think what their favorite celebrity ate for for lunch is important! Makes me so angry.

Actually the Democratic candidate was Dukakis. The Willie Horton ad sunk him. Gary Hart dropped out earlier due to an appearance of impropriety concerning an attractive young woman.
Just getting the facts straight.
Lets see here, after Reagan, who were the choices, George H.W. Bush, mr a.k.a head of the cia for over 20 years vs Gary Heart, the famous Willie Horton campaign, that sunk Gary Hart,

Haha it's almost like they were forced to say something along those lines, so Ron Paul choose to say a smartass remark to out due them all..

Howard Dean's Demise
Revealing Information Reported by Associated Press/ABC
A Washington Post article from December 2003 shows a poll with John Kerry being chosen by only six percent of Democrats likely to vote. He trailed even Joe Lieberman and Al Sharpton at the time. Howard Dean led the all other Democratic candidates by 20 percentage points. How is it that things changed so quickly? The two articles below (shortened for your convenience) are very informative. And just to be clear, I am non-partisan and feel this issue has nothing to do with political party affiliations and everything to do with undemocratic manipulation of our elections. I invite us all to pay attention to what is happening around us.
Fallout from Dean's scream on news networks
NEW YORK (AP) — It probably means little now to Howard Dean, but CNN's top executive believes his network overplayed the infamous clip of Dean's "scream" after the Iowa caucuses. "It was a big story, but the challenge in a 24-hour news network is that you try to keep all of your different viewers throughout the day informed without overdoing it," said Princell Hair, CNN's general manager. The media explosion turned the former Democratic presidential front-runner into a punch line and arguably hastened his campaign's free fall. It's also an instructive look at how television news and entertainment works today.
"It was totally unfair," said Joe Trippi, who lost his job as Dean's campaign manager in the fallout. "I don't think there was any question about it." Trippi accepts that the footage was newsworthy, but he figured it was a one-day story. Instead, CNN cable and broadcast news networks aired Dean's Iowa exclamation 633 times — and that doesn't include local news or talk shows — in the four days after it was made, according to the Hotline, a Washington-based newsletter. "It shouldn't be an anvil that you keep hammering to destroy his candidacy," Trippi said.
The cable news networks ran and reran the video. They analyzed it. They ran footage of the late-night comedians joking about it. They played the instant Internet songs that sampled Dean's shout. Virtually overnight, the "I Have a Scream" speech became legend. It took on such a life, said Paul Slavin, senior vice president of ABC News, that "the amount of attention it was receiving necessitated more attention." Neither Slavin nor Mark Lukasiewicz, NBC News executive producer in charge of political coverage, believe the coverage was overdone. Roger Ailes, Fox News chairman, told ABC News it was "overplayed a bit."

Why is anyone surprised? CNN lies every day! They either do not report on important news of the day or misreport on it. Some times the headline is the only truth, every thing else reported "a lie". CNN has no journalistic objectivity because they always insist in what the truth is even when the majority of American's aren't buying their propaganda, be it related to the White House, Wars, the Economy, so some other story. Personally I see all the mainstream media news a huge distraction with absolutely no credibility. Where have all the real investigative reporters gone? All we see or readers, paid commentators and news personalities. CNN will never support Ron Paul because the NWO powers that be don't trust Paul to follow their orders no questions asked like the rest of the goof-ball GOP candidates. Besides, the elections are rigged by the powers that be. Those electronic voting machines are hacked. We need to return to all paper ballets.
