Why isn't the M$M pushing the Repub split between Paul & McCain

[rurallib]

Seems all they want to do is push the Hillary meme. (will Hillary voters vote for Obama, Hillary for Veep etc). The real action seems to be in the repugs. Looks like it may be bare knuckle time here soon.

2. Because it's inconvenient

They know if the GOP splits 3 ways, especially, and a Democratic administration with a Democratic Congress takes power, their days of media monopoly are OVER. Corporations will be carved up all over the place, huge sections of them cut loose forever. Antitrust laws will be enforced and they might even have to face a new Fairness Statute.

The last thing they want is rebellion against old man McCain by a party that dislikes him intensely. You can expect both Barr and Paul to be as ignored by those sleaze balls even more thoroughly than Democrats are.

4. plus- they must keep the race close to sell advertising

it has to be hard to try to make McCain sound sane.

5. To the Powers-that-Be, Ron Paul is an Un-Person.

The guy has stated some awkward truths, including how the war in Iraq is un-Constitutional.
