Unfortunately, here in the states Jon Stewart is a comedian...albeit one with his finger on the pulse.

Note how he deals with the mainstream media's reporting of the Iowa straw poll.

That's funny as hell. I wonder why the media hates Ron Paul so much? Perhaps they see him as someone they haven't & will not be able to get their claws into?

Because he doesn't ( at least that's the claim ) want to drop bombs on people who are no threat to us in order to distract people from the fucking they are getting from the upper 1%. Paul is all for letting the upper 1% fuck everyone in sight....he just doesn't want to pay for the entertainment.

I don't think anyone outside the US can watch that...at least, nobody in the UK can. Can you find the video somewhere else?

Shit. I didn't think of that.

It was broadcast last night but let me look on Youtube or Vimeo.




Try this one, Adrian.

Here's a version posted by Reuters.

Let me know if you can access any of them.

Thanks Min. The second link worked, however I went in search of an easy way to watch such videos without the need to hassle around with proxy settings, and found this:

Only works with Firefox (unless there is a Google Chrome addon that lets you add HTTP headers), but I can now watch full episodes (and clips) of any comedy central show! Yay!

You should pin that as a help file. The Daily Show is usually too good to miss.

CS Monitor has a few ideas why Paul was ignored after the straw poll.

The CS Monitor has written an interesting story there, as far as it goes. Let me say that Paul is a stark raving nut....just like Bachmann and Cain and Perry and Santorum, et al. But that is not the point. The piece that the CS Monitor misses is that these news media companies are owned by even bigger corporations and if the word comes down to make him a non-story that is what they are going to do.

The only thing that I can see which separates Paul from the other lunatics looking from the nomination is that he is ostensibly not a war-mongering bastard.

General Electric owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC. They are also a multi-billion dollar defense contractor and who knows how many subsidiaries they own which are sucking on the same tit? Is it really that hard to figure this all out?

The issue here is one of media fairness. Fucked up as he is, Paul barely came in second to an equally fucked up Bachmann and that should be covered because it is important for eveyone to know just how fucking crazy the republicolibertarianazis are.
