That's not newsworthy? here’s some numbers from open secrets:

So it looks like he’s gotten almost all his funds from individuals, next to none of his funds from PACs or from federal matching funds, and he’s up to $638k. That’s not newsworthy?

Seriously, the man has zero press. Every minor Democrat got a better deal four years ago. If he does not get that critical early coverage, you are dead in the water and can't attract funds to look like a serious candidate. Unless, of course the media decides to pimp you like they did with Ross Perot. Looks like Al only ever <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/presidential/summary.asp?ID=N00001109&Cycle=2004" rel="nofollow">scraped together $611k</a>.

If so, it's because he isn't a very viable candidate. Now, instead of arguing with me about his viability, take yourself and your credit card over to <a href="https://www.ronpaul2008.com/forms/contribute.cfm" rel="nofollow">RonPaul2008</a> and make him viable. Really, it's all about the money, and he's currently at about half a mil, while other republicans have 10 and 20 times more. Is there a media blackout on Ron Paul?

His show is a big hit and he is making a ton of money. Ron Paul should think about how it makes him look to appear on the Alex Jones program. Not very good PR.

Instead, there's a media blackout. He's a valid candidate from a major fucking party. This is an example of pure mainstream-media bias.
