Did CNN Censor A Soldier, Ron Paul Supporter On Live TV?
_Featured_, Politics Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
In this video, an army soldier is being interviewed during the 2012 Iowa Caucus on CNN. After a couple questions, the broadcast of the patriotic soldier (who speaks about his support of Ron Paul and his ideas) suddenly gets cut off and dropped. Is this merely a technical difficulty, or more evidence of the mainstream media’s agenda to censor and dismiss public support of Ron Paul?

It was neither it was CNN protecting the soldier it is illegal for a soldier to speak publicly on who he/she supports in a presidential campaign while in uniform
lol @ ethan,,,, are you kidding me? somebody must have been beaten with a stupid stick as a child. CNN and Fox censors political ideas that dont fit into their viewpoint. The soldier was about to say that Isreal can take care of themselves, but CNN did not want that message getting out to it’s viewers. Wake up people. Ron Paul 2012
Ethan, you’re right about how military personnel aren’t allowed to attend political events or endorse candidates while in uniform. The military has regulations against that. But while that is a fact, I also agree with Jason that if the soldier was censored, it was because he was challenging the status quo. CNN and others regularly marginalize and dismiss Ron Paul, and I doubt the controlled mainstream wants anybody making any real sense about foreign policy, especially when comes to our relationship with Israel.
