I don’t understand why the BBC ignores Ron Paul? Do they have any reason to? Why?
The BBC should be impartial, right, they are publicly funded, I pay well over a hundred pounds a year (over $230) so I can get quality, fair and balanced broadcastings. I support Ron Paul for president; always have since my discovery of him on Youtube. I follow him campaign always and monitor his performance in the races. But whenever the BBC reports on the primaries they make a habit of ignoring him completely, they fail to not only mention his name on their reports, but online his name is rarely mentioned.
Proof, Ron Paul got second place on the Nevada Caucus after Romney, but you’d be forgiven for thinking if he even took part with the BBC’s online report.

Maybe I’m not looking at the correct page here, and that it’s all in my head, I wish it were though.
What do you think is happening here? I don’t want conspiracy theories, but really, why this omission?
I haven’t emailed the BBC about this, I plan to though.
Thank you.
I know many people will not like Ron Paul, I mean, he comes from a totally different angle on literally every issue, a constitutional angle, the forefather of the USA angle. Sad to see so many people dislike him for being constitutional, I mean, this is YOUR CONSTITUTION, your forefathers wrote it, the president swears by it!
Even though Ron Paul has little chance of winning (although I’m always optimistic), his mention should be regardless of the perceived outcome. To tell you the truth, I am totally astonished.

They ignore him for the same reason everybody else ignores him. He stands no chance of getting nominated, let alone elected.
Vote for Rudy!

dude, i **** to break it to you, but ron paul doesn’t stand a chance at ever becoming president, unless the only people who can vote are those in the happy hotel, funny farm, etc.
Ron Paul sucks

The US media has made it a point to completely ignore him as well. I didn’t even know the results of the Republican Nevada primary until late yesterday afternoon. MSNBC, CNN, and Fox didn’t post the results of the GOP Nevada primary on Saturday.
I’m not a big conspiracy theory believer, but at this point, it is getting ridiculous.
Dr. Paul has beat Rudy Giuliani in all but 1 primary so far and came in 2nd for Nevada behind Romney. Dr. Paul has out raised his opponents in money (most of which will be dead broke on February 6th after Super Tuesday) and is having a good, but not great, showing in the primary polls.
He is a contender on the fund raising issue alone and this race is far from over.

All of the media stations ignore Ron Paul. In fact, I’ve never once seen him on TV.

Funny how Ron Paul raises all of this money and doesn’t spend it. I wonder what he keeps in his freezer. An investigation should occur by the FEC.
