A Republican congressman is blaming media arrogance for the paltry coverage of Rep. Ron Pauls (R-Texas) second-place finish in the Iowa Straw Poll. Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), who has endorsed Paul, told the Hill that fair-minded people dont know why Ron Paul is not given adequate press. He pointed the finger at the arrogance of certain people in the media who dont think he can win. Jones said he was especially disappointed in the conservative-leaning press. Despite finishing a close second behind Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) in the straw poll, Paul attracted little attention from the media. Over the past week, cable-news shows and print outlets have primarily focused on Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R). The perceived snub of Paul was the topic of a segment on Comedy Centrals The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The clip was linked on the influential Drudge Report website. Continued Comment: Ron Paul is ignored because Ron Paul is good for the US, not good for the establishment who loves war and and robbing the American people of their treasure and blood.
