I have listened to several news bulletins on BBC radio and seen a couple on tv. They flatly refuse to mention him and say someone else finished second (I forget who!). They NEVER give him a mention!!! It is so blatant it is sickening. |

# 2008 US presidential election
The surprise package, Dr Paul, a gynaecologist and long-serving Texas congressman, has attracted a large mainly online following with his old libertarian views that critics say envisage taking America back to the 19th century.
Ron Paul
He advocates non-interventionist foreign policy, advocating US withdrawal from Nato and the UN, and voted against the Iraq war. A passionate advocate of small government and handing power back to the 50 states, he opposes federal income tax and wants to abolish most federal agencies, including the FBI. He is known as Dr No for the number of times he has voted against bills he views as unconstitutional.
He has won many of the multi-candidate debates in online polls and used the Internet to attract small donations that are likely to sustain him for longer than other second-tier candidates.

Giuliani Admits Ron Paul Won All The Debates
Rudy expected to drop out, endorse dead horse McCain
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Tuesday, January 30, 2008
Rudy Giuliani, who is widely tipped to drop out of the Republican race today and endorse John McCain, admitted yesterday that "Ron Paul won all the debates" because of his resonating message of individual liberty and personal responsibility.
"Ron Paul won all the debates," stated Rudy Giuliani in his speech conceding defeat in the Florida Primary to John McCain. "Government works best when it empowers people to take responsibilities for their own lives.”
Such an admission is rare considering the size of Giuliani's ego and his numerous spats with Paul on the campaign trail.
The two famously clashed during the second debate on Fox News in May of last year, when Giuliani challenged Paul's assertion that U.S. foreign policy increases the risk of terrorism.
The Texas Congressman also slammed Giuliani's support of a national ID card on an MSNBC appearance a month later.
Despite the fact that one vote per IP and phone number text polls consistently showed Ron Paul to be the winner in almost every debate, establishment hacks, Neo-Libs and Neo-Cons routinely denied the fact that the Congressman had come out on top.
Ron Paul's prediction that Rudy Giuliani would fail in Florida and be forced to quit appears to have been borne out by the former New York Mayor's poor showing in the Sunshine State.
Giuliani is set to back his fellow establishment Neo-Con McCain with the understanding that he would be rewarded by a role in a potential future McCain administration.
However, with Hillary Clinton being the elite's anointed one with the added luxury of favorable rigged voting machines, it seems McCain's role will be to act as a stooge and ensure the Clinton-Bush dynasty continues for at least another four years.

So if the BBC are saying someone else came second that is an actual falsehood rather than the usual lies of ommission.
Can they not be taken to court for this? _________________ www.wytruth.org.uk

I went to the Ron paul website that day it said Ron Paul 2nd in Nevada. I'm not sure now if the result was 2nd overall or 2nd republican candidate. Either way the BBC won't touch him. So I guess they could be taken to court for not providing fair and balanced coverage, as I'm sure they have to do. All you would need is the money to do it. An omission of truth is a lie. |
