I don't know about everyone else, but I have about had it with the mainstream media blackout of Ron Paul. I know it's early; I know there are candidates polling stronger; and I know we've got to pick our battles. But, even if it's just to stick our flag in the moral highground, I think it's time for a targeted assault on Fort News Industry.

The thorn in my side? Repeated discussion of the war, the "looming financial crisis," the dissatisfaction with the GOP frontrunners, and the question of immigration reform--and not a word about Ron Paul. Hunter, Tancredo, Huckabee, and the Thompson Twins get mentioned, but not the guy with an unbeatable legislative track record, a Constitutional agenda, and incredible Internet support.

Chief offender #1 right now is the New York Times, which had the impressive gall to post a chart of "The Presidential Candidates on Iraq," and leave out the *one* candidate who has repeatedly voted to get out and stay out.

Chief offender #2 is Politico.com, which had the good sense to post an article on how screwed we are thanks to the national debt, but, again, omitted any mention of the GOP contender--and ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee--who is well aware of the problem and knows how to solve it.

The battle plan:

• Make our displeasure known; flood these $!%^&'s inboxes with emails demanding real reporting on the presidential race.
• NYT letters to the editor go to: letters@nytimes.com. Must be less than 150 words, and include name, address, and phone.
• NYT reader complaints go to: Byron Calame.
• Politico complaints to: John Harris, Bill Nichols, and/or Roger Simon.

The niceties:

• Be pleasant to the Politico guys; they might come around.
• Be civil-ish to the New York Times. They're just egregious.
