Why does our mainstream media (radio, TV, Newspapers, etc...) never mention Ron Paul for President (USA)?

Question

First, I'm interested in knowing if people know who Ron Paul is? And second, I'm interested in why you think that our mainstream news media (USA) never (that I've heard/read) mentions his name or candidacy.

Answer 1

I hear his candidacy mentioned all the time!

He isn't mentioned as much as Clinton and Guilliani because he isn't a front-runner as of yet.

Answer 2

He gets mentioned more than Tancredo or Gravel :D

They are mentioning him more now that he is getting a ton of funding from the internet and his poll numbers are rising. But the media has always focused on the front runners.
