Or rather, not covered fairly.
I am all for fact checks. Lord knows I have done them after local debates... (another thing the media is not doing, with many a candidate and lord knows some good ones are told at debates, yes shockingly even by Democrats)...
But by your logic Dean, Edwards and Occupy also got the coverage they deserve. So who else should we not cover? I am all ears.
It used NOT to be this way in the United States... I understand this is the news people are used to... but we are back to the media of the 1880s, not what, with all it's problems, existed back in the 1960s and 70s. So yes, he is correct on that one. And in this case it is not because it is Ron Paul, it is because of changes in media culture that help set this us vs them mentality.
