Ron Paul was cheated for the umpteenth time last night, this time by CNN, as the corporate media once again engaged in mass public deception by advertising their spectacle as a “debate” when in fact it was nothing more than a staged punch and judy show.
CIA trainee Anderson Cooper directed just five questions at Congressman Paul as well as two half-questions, the answers to which he interrupted on both occasions.
In comparison, Mitt Romney fielded 17 questions and John McCain got 15, not including the time the two spent bickering with each other about their past statements.
Again, just as with the previous MSNBC debate and numerous others before it, Ron Paul was given less than a third of the questions as the other candidates.

You dilute the effect of your indignation on the questions directed to Ron Paul by inaccurately labeling Mr. Cooper a “CIA trainee”. Your source indicates he was a summer intern during college and left the CIA far behind, choosing to pursue other types of employment. Yet your title implies that he is currently a CIA trainee.
You might be taken more seriously if you kept to the facts and didn’t try to load your title or article with sensationalism which is easily disproved. You do yourself and your candidate no favors by taking cheap shots.

Thank you, Ms. Lady of the Lake,
You’re right. I should have been more careful.
I added ‘former’ to my title and this post, Operation Mockingbird: CIA Media Manipulation, linked above.

It is not hard to see that the media shut Ron Paul down. Well…let’s see what McCain turns out to be. I hope someone great.
