Rush Limbaugh, Ron Paul, and Media Bias

Rush Limbaugh recently said “I’m sorry, but this Ron Paul is going to destroy this party. This is nuts on parade. The media loves this guy as nuts on parade. They want the whole Republican Party to be identified with the kookiness of Ron Paul.” Well Mr. Limbaugh, while I have a lot of respect for you, the 0.5% of the time you’re documented wrong is here.

According to Pew Research, Ron Paul actually gets unfairly less media attention than the rest of the candidates. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/18/late-returns-ron-paul-media_n_930897.html In fact, his media attention actually diminished after a close second in the straw poll. Rush is clearly wrong on this one. Let me know what you think...
