Stewart then rolls the clip with Paul speaking with David Gregory, who--in his Daily Show edit, at least--can't seem to ask him about anything other than Newt-Romney and if he'll endorse someone. Not usually what a candidate would expect to hear on a talk show after a decent debate....

Asking a current canidate polling at least third in every poll which of his oppenents he would endorse? The height of disrespect. The American media is pathetic.

How would you not trust the most anti-war candidate of any party with the arsenal?
I guess he might have the nukes decomissioned to save on storage on maintenance costs...

President Obama is criticized by some of his supporters for not accomplishing what he talked about during his campaigning. Would Ron Paul have the same difficulty accomplishing much of what he campaigns on if elected President?

Sign the petition to get Ron Paul on to CBS 60 Minutes. Let get him some Face time with the general public who have not heard his message!
They need 15,000 signatures and are already over 14,000.
We're so close!Link:

But the same thing could be said about how the media ignores Jon Huntsman, so why didn't TDS mention that?

At least TCR was covering that Huntsman's father was buying his ads, like Paul has bought all the straw poll results so far.

I think it might be because their shows play back to back and they don't want to lose the audience interest by reporting on the same things. Also it just makes sense for TCR to talk about Huntsman and for TDS to talk about Paul based on the characters Jon and Stephen play.

That's not the case since both shows often do the same story on the same night like 12/7 both did segments on The Trump Debate, 12/5 both did on Cain dropping out of the race and 11/30 both did on Barney Frank retiring. There are plenty of other examples also.

TDS did a Moment of Zen on Huntsman but TCR had him on his show as a guest. But I don't know what you mean by "it just makes sense for TCR to talk about Huntsman and for TDS to talk about Paul based on the characters Jon and Stephen play."
Why does it make any sense, both candidates are Republicans and that's what Stephen plays, what difference does it make to Jon? By that logic both would be talked about on TCR and neither would be on TDS

I'm not drinking the Ron Paul kool-aid, but I do think he deserves much more respect from the media.
