Mitt Romney might have won Iowa’s Republican straw poll (as was expected) but Ron Paul’s performance was credible too. He came in fifth with 9.1% of votes. Meanwhile, the mainstream media continues to ignore him. The write-up at Washington Post covering this news doesn’t even mention his name. Why?

I have been noticing this a lot more lately. Either I am becoming more attuned to noticing these media “oversights” or it’s happening on a more regular basis.
I watched a CNN segment today sometime prior to the Straw Poll Tally. Bill Schneider, the “Senior Political ANALyst” did a nice little roundup of the candidates and didn’t mention Ron Paul’s name at all.
The funny thing was, standing a little ways behind Schneider as he talked on camera was a Ron Paul supporter with an American flag. At the end of the segment they went to a wide shot and there were a bunch of other Ron Paul supporters.
Now the blog really looks nice.
