I mean, is it just me, or is there anyone else noticing this?

If you go against the game plan they leave you out.
He is talking about making some changes that go against some very influential people. I worry for his safety if he gets the nomination.
I googled his name and the first thing to come up was an article about him having the least time with his face in the news.
No matter how much the public likes him I do not believe the GOP will make him their leading candidate. If somehow that happens, I fear he will be assassinated by an "accident" or a strange illness. Mark my words!

Because nobody cares about him.
Think about it, Mike Gravel, Tom Tracadero, Joe Biden, and Dennis Kucinich are also being ignored by the media. Why? Is it because they are being singled out by a massive conspiracy? If they were, you'd think they, or their supporters would have said something. Not even Ron Paul admits that something shady is going on - just his whackjob supporters do.
I personally think the media has been VERY generous with Ron Paul, considering his single-digit polling numbers. The fact is, the media will continue to ignore him because nobody cares about Ron Paul. His following is limited to a few hundred rabid fanatics on the internet and the White Nationalist movement.
Mike Huckabee used to be a nobody too, until he caught fire thanks to REAL Americans supporting him, and not some losers on a PC spamming an internet poll and MySpace profiles. Ron Paul will have his day in the spotlight too, once real people start supporting him. Too bad that will never happen.

Ron Paul is ignored primarily because he's a crackpot. He talks a good line on a few things, but when you add it all up he's just no good. For example, when it came to the so-called Patriot Act, he voted against it. Good for him, and he voted against it for the right reasons. One, there wasn't even time to read the bill the way it was jammed down the throats of Congress, and two, it violated the Constitution in any case. However, Ron Paul is a bigotted racist and anti-Semite. He has been quoted as saying blacks are prone to commit crimes by genetic disposition. He also believes that Jews have too much power and are a threat to America. Nevermind that nearly all of the biggest corporate and governement crimes, frauds, and terrorist acts have been committed by White Gentiles.....no, that doesn't faze Ron Paul in the slightest. Most Ron Paul supporters don't know anything about him and those that do and still support him are crackpots too.

Basically because he's a "one man band". ALL of the "mainstream" Candidates- have large, groups of political "Backers" (like Senators, or Governors, or whoever), who throw their weight behind them & give them an air of Credibility... R. Paul is just kind of "out there" -raising alot of money, but not making much "noise" among the Voters. And that "noise" -is what attracts the Media...

Air time is very valuable so they tend to cover only those with broad support.
