I've been hearing a lot about the supposed "media conspiracy" to keep everyone from hearing too much about Ron Paul. I have a hard time believing that anyone in the media would be interested in suppressing a valid presidential candidate, but what do I know?

Then I received an automated polling call. It asked me one multiple choice question: "If the republican primaries were today, who would you vote for?" The choices included Huckabee, McCain, Romney, Guliani, and Thompson.

Is Ron Paul really that far behind? He can't even get a mention on the multiple choice poll? I thought it was odd, but dismissed it.

Then I saw a poll on MSNBC. According to the poll, Ron Paul was winning with a landslide victory - something like 70% of the votes or something. A little later, the "poll" had been "pulled" without explanation.

The plot thickens.

Numerous examples have shown up since then. More online polls that showed Ron Paul as the clear winner on MSNBC were taken down. After finishing second in the South Carolina debate, he was dropped to dead last for candidates likely to win the nomination.

During one debate, Ron Paul was not given the opportunity to speak for over half an hour into the debate. When he finally had his chance, he was only aloud to speak a few times totaling at about 3.5 minutes. Other candidates including Thompson and Huckabee were given much more time - and candidates like Romney were aloud to speak up to 9 separate times.

So is there a media bias against Romney?

Today I saw this:

A Facebook poll has chosen Huckabee! Wow that's amazing. Let's just look at those numbers ... yes at 22% Huckabee has almost half the votes of Ron Paul! I guess he is the clear winner!

Then there was this on CBS:

Huckabee with 31%, Mccain with 12%, Romney with 23%, Thompson with 23%, and blank grey pie piece with unknown per cent. Hmm... ominous blank pie piece is tied with McCain, althought you'd have to do the math yourself. (The actual poll puts Paul at 11%).

I think the fact that Ron Paul has garnered so much support online, that he has nearly set a record for the most funds raised in a single day, and that he simply blasts everyone out of the water on every online poll is newsworthy. Yet he barely ever gets a mention. Meanwhile Huckabee, who came out of nowhere, is winning in the polls (with a hefty 22%)!

I'm really not kidding. Here are NBC's current online poll results:

And the results are similar all the way down the board. The only one Ron Paul isn't winning on is "most rehearsed answer," whatever that means.

But all this, and I talk to people every day who still don't know who Ron Paul is.

One thing I hear a lot is that people wished Ron Paul would win, but they don't think he can do it, so they're going to vote for someone else.

Yes, that's the spirit of democracy! If we vote for whoever the media tells us about the most, then who is really choosing the next president?

That's right little sheep, we've got this election under control. All of our polls show that Huckabee is going to win, so just vote for him. Give up on anyone else and come along with the rest of us. Drink the cool-aid.

Oh, by the way, Ron Paul got more than 3x the votes of Giuliani in the Iowa Caucus. Now watch and see who they still talk about more on the news.
