It seems from a review of the news today that with the deadline fast approaching for the funding to be in place for the Ron Paul Blimp that the Main Stream Media are pulling for the upstart political advertising company to succeed in their efforts.
The media has been for the most part reactive to these kinds of efforts in the past but perhaps now that they have seen it work with the Nov 5th effort that brought in so much money to the campaign of Ron Paul that they have now become more involved in seeing this latest effort work for Paul.
Here is some of the links to MSM stories out today:

The obvious benefit that this news blitz will have in helping Liberty Political Advertising achieve their funding goal by midnight tonight can not be an accident I think. It is nice to know that at least for the moment the MSM are actually helping this effort. Perhaps to ensure that this very interesting story can actually fly.It will make for lots of grist for the political media mills if it should work out I would think. It is a win win for all of us if it succeeds.

Maybe the bottomdwellers in the MSM really want to report on Ron Paul, and their superiors forbid it. Having a blimp in the air is a simple solution to this dilemma.

unfortunately, I think that something will go wrong. My gut instinct says that I smell a potential rat... if this blimp goes bust, the media will make RP the laughing stock... of course, any coverage is good coverage in this campaign, but still.... be careful out there.
