As the primaries get on their way and as most of us hope that Ron Paul wins the Republican nomination, it's hard to deny that the main stream media have been trying very hard to keep him contained. As his support grows, they must fight harder and harder to keep him off the air. They have tried everything from ignoring him, to ridicule, to declaring him unelectable, to trying to paint him as racist, irresponsible and dangerous --- DESPITE EVIDENCE PROVING OTHERWISE --- With so many going against him from so many sides, it has become very obvious to us that there is a clear and powerful bias against him in the media.

Here's where the media is winning the battle, but ultimately losing the war:

Ron Paul has the most young voter support out of all the candidates. Why? There could be numerous reasons, but in my opinion it is due to the fact that the younger voters are much more used to looking to the internet for answers. They search for articles, watch Youtube (because many would rather watch a video than read), and listen to podcasts. They are exposed to thousands of articles and opinions, not to mention on-demand soundbites and speeches from the candidates themselves! They can find these videos dating back to the 60's and even beyond, stuff you're not going to see televised on FOX or CNN, stuff that the older voters don't have access to. They listen to the media reports, and then find evidence to the contrary online. Their minds are blown and they start questioning everything they hear. They look for the truth.

While the media is doing a fine job making Ron Paul look "unelectable" to the older masses, as we (the younger voters) get older, we will remember this black-out. We are AWARE of the propaganda, and we are aware of who is behind the corporate media. Communication around the world will only continue to improve, and those who are too young to vote today will have all the tools they need to find out and realize what we are coming to find out during these elections. Plus we'll have kids of our own, and we'll make sure they also stay alert.

So... as we wait for the FOX, CNN, MSNBC, BBC generation to dwindle (though we love them in every other way), we (the informed) will eventually outnumber them. With every coming election we are gaining on them, and we will not allow the two party system to dominate us forever. The ONLY way that the evil, destructive "elite" could continue to hold power over us is if we allow them to pass legislation like SOPA or PIPA to hinder our abilities to communicate. Although we are catching up to their lies, we are still in danger and must fight them every way possible.

In conclusion even if Ron Paul does not become our next President, his campaign has opened our eyes to the propaganda machine like never before. By gaining so much of the younger vote he has shown us that there is still hope for this country! So please, continue the fight, don't let them fool you, and use every resource you have to find the truth. Don't ever let them take that away from you.

Your belief has a basic flaw that is it's undoing. You assume that time is on your side. Time is not on your side. Our liberties are being stripped away at an ever increasing pace. IMO, if anybody but Ron Paul wins in 2012, there will be no 2016 elections.

I love your post.

I too am of the mind that even if Ron Paul isn't nominated for anything, or his campaign folds in a week, that he has already done a great service to the country.
The man makes sense on a lot of issues and a lot of what's ACTUALLY plaguing us as a nation. If nothing else he has made people see things differently. He has woken thousands of people up to the fact that there is a growing problem.

What he needs is a much younger sidekick to continue the fight. A 'Robin' so to speak. Even if he were to appear every 3 or 4 years to keep people thinking in the right direction, it does a lot of good. Nothing is corrected overnight, but the first step is always the biggest and most important after all.

I agree with you that time is not on our side and things may actually get worse, but they don't have to. What we need is to continue to fight, but at the moment we are outgunned. We need more ideas on how to stay on top. I want Paul to win and I will speak up for him every chance I get, but if there is the possibility that we might lose this, at least his campaign has done service to the younger generation who's eyes have opened to the disgusting realities of our Nation.

You also assume that many Americans are smart and make good decisions.

Cough, Cough...

I try to give them the benefit of doubt.

2manyquestions, Thank you for putting it so well. I copied and pasted this to my facebook with you as the credited author, and abovetopsecret.com the hosting website. I am getting a lot of opposition from the sleeper generation.

Thanks!

"Even if we lose, we've won!" We've got our issues out there!" "People are waking up to the flaws in the system!" "Don't give up yet, we'll be back." "The world can see what we're doing."

Man, it sure sounds like OWS all over again. Maybe Ron Paul would be good for the country, maybe not. I don't know. But in addition to listening to him, you should listen to yourselves.

Sorry, crabby mood tonight. Family members having personal problems.

Ron Paul is inspiring and giving hope to the masses. We have an awesome Constitution and if we followed it we could have an awesome country.

Our best hope is our youth and I am so glad they have Dr. Paul to look up to as he makes an excellent role model.

I pray for him every day and I hope he wins with all my heart.

I have a real short list of heroes and he's on it.
