CNN feed drops as soldier explains why he supports Ron Paul's foreign policy - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br5I3UcB5-A[/media] My friend just sent this to me, and half of me believes it was technical difficulty but the other half believes they purposely dropped the feed, as right when he got to his main point it dropped. What's your view on this, FP?

Looks more like technical difficulties.

Gotta admit... Seems a bit convenient when he started arguing her case.

like any news media outlet they do what they have to do to promote their views

Yeah seems like tech difficulties.

damnit not supposed to wear the uniform when you do anything politically related but whatever

feeds drop sometimes.. big deal. He finished his comments on CSPAN anyway.

[QUOTE=J!NX;34042944]the green bar just, doesn't happen though... and they completely ignore it and go on.[/QUOTE] No, he acknowledges it. They're not going to sit on their ass and wait for the connection to come back up, it's a 24/7 news network.

It's the illuminati stomping on Ron Paul dudes!!!!

If they were really in the business of suppressing anyone who supports Ron Paul, why even send a reporter down to his headquarters to get the view of someone who support the guy in the first place? Surely if there was some kind of covert suppression going it would be easier to just not cover it rather than cover it and then cut out in the middle of the broadcast.

Oh god the comments on these videos are outstanding. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TSxm2V8aVQ[/url] This one even has a pending approval - only comments allowed are OMG CNN UR SO STUPID it seems. Why can't this just be TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES? Why is everything some stupid CONSPIRACY THEORY, WE'RE OUT TO CENSOR EVERYTHING WE DON'T AGREE WITH FUCK THE PEOPLE.

I find it more suspicious that this video has 647 likes with 301 views.

Youtube stops counting at around that view count usually but it starts again after a week or so.

[QUOTE=s0m3_guy;34042455]like any news media outlet they do what they have to do to promote their views[/QUOTE] What is CNNs views? They have had Ron Paul on tons of times. Dont be stupid about it.

It's now confirmed that Ron Paul started speaking and they were trying to switch to him. They actually resumed the soldier's clip later on.

Come on CNN and major news networks have been ignoring or silencing him since the start.

In the background on the larger screen the same thing was happening with the reporter's feed earlier.

of course his followers believe its media censorship and it's a conspiracy bunch of nutters

Why would they want to have a reported interview someone and then cut it deliberately? They didn't just cut him off straight away it just kinda went.
