In reply to the discussion: Message to fans of Ron Paul, Gary Johnson and other Libertarians [View all]nadinbrzezinski

It's that simple...
You don't have two, but above you wrote that media should not cover him since he is insignificant...that my dear is censorship when you ask the media to do that.
Notice you attack, and you do it well.
Nobody is making you read stories on ron Paul or interact with his supporters. This exchange started from an observation at a rally attended by about five thousand people, some coming fom as far away as beyond the El Cajon pass, oh three hours away. Feel free to ignore why this exchange started and that you objected to that coverage.
Oh and let me add your own words.

53. it's not playing favorites it's coming to the reality that Paul isn't worth covering
anymore, he is not a player. NO ONE beside the Paulbots care anymore. He's not going to win and never cared about it any way. Yeah, his fan base will probably vote for Johnson but they were never going to vote for Obama or Romney, imo.
And I won't "complaint" when they do it to my side because it's the nature of the beast. We've seen it for years. There is media bias and we all know it and it's not just in the MSM, fringe sites and blogs pimp Ron Paul, Birther garbage, etc. that make their way into the MSM as well.
You can continue to cover Ron Paul and anyone else and I'll continue to tell you I could give a crap about him or his fanbase and I'm sick of seeing it here and elsewhere.
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. -Maria Robinson

I don't think Obama is suggesting that Churches should be required to perform same-sex marriages.
