Mark Jeffrey: Ron Paul: Internet Celeb? - Politics on The Huffington Post
Mark Jeffrey: Ron Paul: Internet Celeb? - Politics on The Huffington Post: "The so-called professional media has failed us miserably in recent years.

Blogs (like HuffPost and others), YouTube videos, podcasts and other media are already more trusted by many than mainstream media outlets. It is interesting that all of these are seeing something in Ron Paul that CNN, Fox, MSNBC, ABC and others are glossing over."

Returning Troops Strip On Airport Tarmac After Uniform Ban (from The Herald ): "'We weren't told who gave the order. It might have been the designated senior officer on board, the chartered airline or the airport security people.
