there's a very simple reason why romney has had more air time during the debates than all the other candidates and it's not because the networks are "pushing" him on us. the reason romney recieves more air time is because incase you haven't noticed, he has been at the top of the polls in every single debate thus far. not only does the percieved front runner get asked more questions by the moderaters than any other other candidate, but he also gets attacked much more by the other candidates giving him more air time to respond. if perry hadn't of completely collapsed then his air time would be much closer to romney's. if cain or paul or anyone else had been leading in the polls all this time and not romney then they would have had the most air time.

i saw the same smart politics article yesterday and found the media bias described therein to be very troubling. this information needs to get out to more people. i agree with what liberty without demagogues said. it is clear that there are some power brokers intent on manipulating the electorate. most people are too intellectually lazy. we act like sheep waiting for the news media to tell us how to think and vote. i'm a bachmann supporter and i would like to see bachmann, paul, santorum and huntsman all address this issue at the same time on the same stage. making this an issue together, on live tv so that the media can't filter it is the only way it will have a chance of making a difference. i sent a link to the smart politics article to the bachmann campaign. perhaps the other aforementioned candidates should see this too.

it is quite obvious that conglomerate corporate media has but only two or three owners who direct underlings on who to give coverage to. it is dissapointing to see this unethical and propagandist approach to journalism. i am disgusted at the way supposed impartial, fair and balanced journalists try to push their choice of candidates by citing statistically irrelavent national poll numbers, over and over again. data which would otherwise be discarded as statistically insignificant in the scientific community and would tarnish a researcher's career if they relied on flawed data to base a conclusion upon. it is a blatant thing, rick perry got more news coverage for being an idiot blunderer, mitt romney and newt gingrich are now being pushed as front-runners. the polls used are dispicable and partisan bought propagandist data. until we stop listening to unbalanced news media the presidential race will always be fixed and staged. following the media's poor attempt at pushing a candidate, i predict obama and romney will face off and obama unfortunately will win...again. there aren't enough americans who care or are awake to the fact that militarism and propagandist news sells advertisement. like a hot knife through butter, ron paul tells the truth in the empire of lies.
