its not very surprising that the candidate most represented on the internet is almost unheard of in the mainstream media (CNN, FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC)

after the recent 8/5 republican debate, ABC's julie banderas interviewed ron paul and asked him a why he did an interview with alex jones, who supports, among other things, the idea that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job conducted by george bush and his neoconservative base.

the queston was an attack on ron paul; banderas was basically asking why he would talk to someone that has a different viewpoint than his own. she repeatedly referred to alex jones as "this guy" refusing to give common respect to some one who has a different viewpoint. thankfully ron paul gave a great answer, saying that if he only talked to media that agreed with him, he wouldn't be on tv at all!
what banderas failed to question is why america is in an illegal war? where are the weapons of mass destruction? why are tens of thousands of innocent iraqis (johns hopkins researchers estimate 600,000 iraqi civilian dead since march 2003) as well as three thousand plus american troops dead? why is the president not putting an end to this? neoconservatives have the nation in the grip of fear and this is being blasted across the airwaves with the media controlled by big corporation. everywhere u look americans are afraid of something, and now thanks to ABCNNBCBS they are afraid to think, afraid to even see the silver lining among the dark clouds painted by us politicians and media. the government can mess up this era and all they have to do is keep america occupied with cars, houses, sports, entertainment and food; meanwhile the networks broadcast celebrity news as if they are that important. as long this country is consuming, it's ignorant to the rest of the world. most of the outspoken anti-war protestors have been shocked out of this media dream only by the death of a loved one in iraq.
who are neoconservatives?
