Veterans March in Support of Ron Paul


Mainstream News Organizations Provide No Coverage of Event

After receiving numerous phone calls, From The G-Man followed up on reports that the majority of mainstream news organizations in America failed to provide coverage of hundreds of former and current service members that marched to the White House in support of GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul. 

The march, which took place on February 20, President's Day, received brief mention on an ABC News blog, but not on the network. Moreover, ABC News had to issue a public apology and retraction on its website after reporting that only a few dozen veterans were on hand for the event, when there were actually hundreds.

Congressman Paul has bitterly complained for months that news analysts and organizations have not treated him fairly and have purposely sought to downplay his candidacy -- after reporting that Paul has virtually no chance of winning the GOP nomination.  

Published reports have indicated that Paul receives more campaign contributions from active and retired members of the military than any other candidate in the GOP field and President Obama. 

"RT", a Russian news network that provides around-the-clock national and international coverage in English, was one of the few news venues to showcase the march.
