NY Times admits it deep-sixed Ron Paul
It’s been obvious for almost a year now that the New York Times was participating in the media conspiracy to kill Ron Paul’s candidacy by pretending it didn’t exist.
Nice to see them admit it.
In Sunday’s Times, public editor Arthur S. Brisbane wrote of the decision to deep-six the only candidate in the race who has anything interesting to say.
Here’s what Brisbane wrote:
In a Dec. 4 column, I wrote about journalists’ reflex to impose their own narrative on a race, a dynamic that can eclipse what candidates are actually saying. Well, as last week’s Iowa caucuses demonstrated, the Republican nomination contest steadfastly resists any coherent narrative.

Sometimes I think the sports media wants to be the “real” media and they get caught up in “hard-hitting” stories like steroids, etc. that sports fans don’t really give a crap about.
The “real” media, on the other hand, wants to be like the sports media and predict what’s going to happen instead of reporting what is happening. The horse race coverage of elections is one thing, but I get more upset at the politically-oriented coverage of everything else. Something happens and too often the media reports about how this or that is going to affect someone’s polling numbers rather than how it’s going to affect people’s lives.
