US Army - Ron Paul supporter cut off from CNN

At the very least their cameras should have recorded the interview so they can replay it whenever their feed gets fixed. The feed may have cut off but that is the connection from camera to news station, whereas the camera should have been unaffected. I know for a fact since I have family that works at CNN that those cameras cost hundreds of thousands of dollars I doubt it suddenly broke.

If they are performing a live link then there is no recording being made on the camera, there will be a live feed going to the satellite truck via cable or wireless transponders and from there a signal being beamed from the truck to the studio. the way the footage breaks up indicates the feed was cut from the satellite truck as you can see the data stream break down with residual data making up the last frames of the cast (out of sync audio and random frames)

with that conclusion in mind it suggests the board op or more likely the field producer was instructed to kill the feed if the content of the interview was not going in the direction that the network owner wanted. there really is no need for a special button or app as you can achieve a much better and more realistic result by simply shutting down the dish.

I know its probably irrelevant now but will pay to watch for this kind of "lost connection" kind of interview event again.

Thanks for that tip mate. I thought it was suspicious. Especially since it was cut off at an interesting point in the interview.

Yeah,, this does not surprice me at at.. They have played the game like that from the beginning..
Crap ass MSM ppl, selling their souls to the evil empire!

There is a complete media black out of Ron Paul, for example over here in Australia they haven't mentioned him once but they keep saying that Rick Perry and that is in the lead?

Tell me about it. Not once have I heard Ron Paul mentioned. It's always Mitt Romney, Newt, Perry.. Then they mention Rick Santorum? I haven't even heard of the man before.

Haha, yeah i know (Aussie here too).
Insane

I would agree 100% with your accessment. Especially the last one. Why is it NO ONE can say anything bad about Israel? Answer: Because they controll the media, all the media. Hell it would'nt surprise me if we found out they own this website.

This blatant kind of corporate censorship must serve to make people more curious to learn what all the fuss is about over 'that Ron Paul guy', if they don't know much about him at this point. I can't help but thinking again about how these efforts will backfire as more and more people awaken to how wrong some things have become in our nation.

Well, having seen the name on signatures and threads on ATS for the past few years, and still having not a clue who RP is. This has made me want to know more. Although, had I ben watching it having not seen his name on here, I probably would've just accepted it at face value.

Maybe a supporter of his should start a thread documenting as many occurences like this as possible. The majority of threads on ATS arent realy conspiracies, more points for debate (which is why I like it, not dissin') but gathered evidence of this nature would truly show a conspiracy.

P.S who is he, wher can I learn about him?

I was watching the Winter Classic the other day, and the feed glitched/cut out in the middle of the game.

Does the media hate the Philadelphia Flyers, too?

Yes


Seriously though, this would have to be intentional. I mean, as soon as the Corporal mentioned Iran and Israel, bam, lost the connection.

I think our American media is bought and sold and a total joke.

That being said, I think proclaiming this intentional without any doubt is a bit presumptuous.

If CNN wanted to satifle the message, why interview the soldier at all?

(The media hates the Flyers for good reason. )

Well, they had to show something from the RP HQ, it just so happened to be the soldier and it cut when he started on the foreign policy. Now i am not really saying that it was intentional, but i am leaning more towards yes, than no. I mean, as soon as it was cut, they went straight to Romney without hesitation.

I think somebody ought to make a movie, that makes a more open connection between the evil empire and the neo-cons ... all cast in a star wars theme.

Ok, whipped this up real quick this morning. A Ron Paul Support Video. Enjoy!

Just go to his website. There is a ton of information on him there.

Ron Paul

the media bias reminds me of Harry Potter and Voldemort.

"he who must not be named"

Maybe America just has better news stations, in the UK feeds being lost happens so often that I would need it to happen 10 times to 1 person i 10 days to find it unusual

Perhaps some ATS members could come together and do a case study. Look at the type of people and direction of discussion that is being lost shouldn't be too difficult.

I was actually going to make a topic about what Im about to say,but the OP runs a long the same lines. I live in the UK but have been following Ron Paul since his name as started getting some mainstream attention and Ive got to admit there is a total blackout over here concerning him. Even when the Iowa results were reported this morning there was no mention of Ron Paul and him coming 3rd in the poll,when opponents who polled less still got a mention. This as been right across the BBC,SKY and ITN news networks on TV and Radio. Also I was listening to coast to coast from the US this morning and on there headlines only the 2 highest polling candidates were mentioned. I really do believe there is genuine fear from TPTB that Mr Paul is actually being taken seriously. I urge all US citizens to back him and help his cause and hes the most refreshing and honest politician in the mainstream that Ive seen from any country for a long,long time.

Ohh,how convenient of CNN,

Just when hes about to talk about stupid,pointless,destructive wars...

The media is our enemy.

What is most annoying is the trivial way in which the presenter of the Caucus programme last night referred to the lost link and joked about how Ron Paul supporters would call it a conspiracy. It's a common tactic, laugh about it and ridicule the word conspiracy. It's interesting that consipiracies have been prove time and time again in all walks of life, but people have been brainwashed into thinking its a word used by people we should all laugh at.

If there was no 'conspiracy' here then consider the post vote speeches given by all the candidates. Ron Paul deliberately brought the soldier back on stage to let him speak, referencing the fact he had been cut off previously. He knew that even CNN could not cut his speech, plus the feed would be going out to many news organisations. Very clever Ron Paul.

Now when these speeches have been edited, the soldier has mysteriously been edited out.

edition.cnn.com...

CNN simply do not want anyone to associate Ron Paul with the support he is getting fro the military - and yes it is a clear consipracy.
