It seems that the mainstream media has done a 180 and is actually seeing Ron Paul as a real candidate, after millions of dollars and tens of thousands of rambunctious fans he is no longer a long shot. It doesn't seem so long ago that the media viewed us as fringe and talked about us with contempt during the few moments they awknowledged our existance at all. Just check out these recent examples...
The Washington Post just did an article about Dr. Paul's siblings children who are now on the campaign trail for the good Doctor. While it is titled "Paul Supporters: Crazy in a Good Way" it is a very positive piece about his kids and the effect the Revolution has had on them.
The Chicago Tribune has put up an article called "The Ron Paul Revolution: It has just begun to fight" and talks about his supporters growing network and increased effectiveness.
Even Fox News of all people had a photo on the front of their politics page showing Ron Paul, Rudy Guiliani and Romney shaking hands after the Univision debate. Fox News of all people has decided that a photo of Ron Paul looking professional next to the top two Republicans is what they want to put forth.
So this is my question... has the MSM decided that Ron Paul is a top tier candidate? In none of these articles was Ron Paul called "fringe", "dark horse", "long shot" or any of the phrases we are all used to.
By the way, there were also articles in the the Machinist calling Paul the "Linux" of the race, another article in the Washington Post about his new ad. So, are things looking up for us?

Mabey the msm finaly got tired of writing the same thing over and over. Cant win. Quirky. Quioxic. Darkhorse. Longshot. Underdog. Perhaps the writers declared revolution on their editors after writing the same tripe over and over again. Then again, perhaps they just couldn't resist a great story. Go Ron Paul!
Maybe; but I just picked up an LA Times today and noticed that they covered the Miami debates; it turns out that they systematically cut Ron Paul out of the pictures, left his name out of the caption, and studiously avoided him in the actual article.
I haven't seen anything like this since the Soviet Union.
They are accepting him as a real threat, but they still print libel and attack him and are unfair towards him and conduct rigged polls and still take advertising dollars and instructions from the military industrial complex.
Hey everyone, check out this site for a Times Square Ad to coincide with the 16 Dec Tea Party Money Bomb. The cutoff is the 12th (I know, not much time), but they only need $50,000.
Great advertising scheme that would reach lots of people.

I think that perhaps the MSM is seeing dollar signs in the Ron Paul campaign. As he continues to make money hand over fist, I'm sure they don't want to alienate him too much because he'll surely be spending lots of money for airtime and comercial as the race continues.
I read the LA Times article, it's straight out of Pravada as far as Dr Paul is concerned. It's like he was never there. (Pravada is the big Russian newspaper)
Can someone please run a real poll(including moderates, people with cell phones, Republicans that didn't vote for W, etc.) in NH. Just make 1000 quick phone calls. :-)
I LIKE RON PAUL....RON PAUL IS A THREAT TO BOTH THE
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. BY THE MEDIA TRASHING RON PAUL, HE CERTAINLY IS A VIABLE AND POPULAR CANDIDATE. WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO DO IS STOP WATCHING CNN, CBS AND ABC. WRITE THESE GOVERNMENT OWED PROPAGANDA MACHINES AND TELL THEM WHY. REFUSE TO WATCH THESE CHANNELS. DO THE SAME FOR SOME OF THESE ARTICLES WRITTEN BY IDIOTS WHO SEEM TO SINGLE OUT RON PAUL. DON'T

I lived in L.A. county for almost 19 years and worked for a large aerospace co. there. We always refered to the L.A. Times as "Pravda West" at work. My hopes for Dr. Paul just went up over the weekend after talking to my Mother back in MI, (I'm in ID now) and found out that both her and my Brother, both lifelong Dems now support him along with me.
