Ron Paul "The Libertarian", page

Noticed a new trend in U.S. mainstream news (MSM) stations lately??

Yes, as Ron Paul's MoneyBomb / Stop The Media Blackout raised over $800,000 in less than 12 hours people in the MSM are getting more scared than ever!

Paul has been ignored in the media, (ATS: Ron Paul Media Blackout Confirmed)

He's been making great headway in the polls and is making a big name for himself at the grassroots level! People KNOW who Ron Paul is and some of what he stands for even though our media is ignoring, misrepresenting, and suppressing him.

So what's the latest trick?

rename the guy!

Seen it a few times but here's one example today on Bloomberg.com:

That’s why U.S. Representative Ron Paul, the libertarian seeking the Republican presidential nomination

emphasis added

Expect to see this A LOT in the next few weeks. It's actually a good selling point to discredit the American media if you choose. Plenty of people have changed parties. Ron Paul is smart and experienced enough to recognize Libertarians don't have a snowball's chance in hell of becoming President - our masses are thoroughly brainwashed against that one - so he changed parties. Smart choice Congressman Paul!

ETA: Why would this type of thing be employed by the media?
Because we all know that someone in the "in group" is more liked and favored than someone in the "out group", just basic Psychology. Renaming him as the Libertarian running for Republican... is an attempt to make him appear as an outsider and less desireable Psychologically.

I'm for him 100% but honestly the enormous changes we'll see is a little staggering to think about! Talk about waking up the masses
