Ron Paul’s Clarity on Economy Often Misunderstood or Distorted
By Bill Turner

(...)
Among the worst offenses committed against the public during the debt ceiling debate, the dishonesty about the trimming of the government’s spending stands out. Vintage media outlets and supporters of big government spending cheered pragmatic cuts to programs that paved the way for a deal to be reached.

The GOP’s Ron Paul problem isn’t a problem

Four years ago, Ron Paul was the guy everyone derided. Now he’s the guy everyone is unsuccessfully trying to ignore. Setting aside the vintage media, since they’re nothing more than a whipping boy in Republican politics, one sees the people who do matter in Republican politics waking up to the threat of a party takeover by the voters who support Paul.

Print media giants of the past are on their death beds, and major television networks are being committed by their former viewers to Hospice facilities. As hard as it tries, the vintage media cannot compete with, or keep up with the internet and social media. The traditional Left/Right paradigm is breaking down. So many people no longer believe in it or in its vintage media propagandists; both have vastly overestimated their ability to still select our candidates and leaders for us. They can criticize and belittle men like Paul they want; because we no longer believe them anyway.

Top 10 Vintage Media Putdowns of Obama’s Disastrous DNC Speech
How bad was Obama’s recycled mish-mash of a speech last night? So bad that even antique media panned it across the board.

Vintage Media Pulls Out All The Stops Trying to Blame #ObamaReidShutdown on GOP

Guest post by Doug Ross of Doug Ross @ Journal
This sort of agitprop isn’t unexpected, but it is still surprisingly lame. The man whose starting negotiating position is that he will not negotiate is responsible for any shutdown that occurs. The man who refuses to discuss cutting a single penny from his disastrous health care is emblematic of a dysfunctional government.
