Ron Paul Lashes Out At WaPo's Witch Hunt: "Expect Such Attacks To Continue"
The Washington Post has a history of misrepresenting Ron Paul’s views. Last year the supposed newspaper of record ran a feature article by David A. Fahrenthold in which Fahrenthold grossly mischaracterized Paul as an advocate for calamity, oppression, and poverty — the opposite of the goals Paul routinely expresses and, indeed, expressed clearly in a speech at the event upon which Fahrenthold’s article purported to report. Such fraudulent attacks on the prominent advocate for liberty and a noninterventionist foreign policy fall in line with the newspaper’s agenda. As Future of Freedom Foundation President Jacob G. Hornberger put it in a February editorial, the Post’s agenda is guided by “the interventionist mindset that undergirds the mainstream media.”
Instead, it's triple-down time in the valley of the unhinged. And worst of all, many journalists still seem to think their words, their impact, still somehow has a huge impact on the daily narrative. Truth is, traditional media has about 1/10th the impact it did at the turn of the century. For if it had more sway, Hillary Clinton wins going away two weeks ago.
