Been meaning to bring this up with you for a while. I wouldn't support Ron Paul either: (there thats the obligatory out of the way). BUT, yes RT has has given Ron Paul Air time, as it has Buddy Roemer, and Gary Johnson. I get the impression that you feel threatened by RT because they actually expose truths that aren't covered by the MSM. They have been on top of OWS since September, interviewed Jullien Assange early on, frequently have Col Lawrence Wilkerson, interviewed Bill Black, Matt Taibbi, Max keiser, Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Pepe Escobar, etc. Granted I couldn't give the time of day to the RW, think tank Reason magazine crowd they ask for opinions also, but at least they are showing truly different perspectives, not the 2 sides of the same corporate coin. They don't have an A list of interviewees but still manage to ask tough questions and get uncomfortable answers. I honestly can't see why anyone would waste a minute watching MSM who are focussed on who's driving the clown car when there is serious shit goin' down in the real world.
