Why does this only happen to Ron Paul, and why does it only happen when he brings up the fallacies of our foreign policy?

I watch CNN every day.  Satellite interviews get cut off all the time.

To be fair, CNN has a bad history of cutting Ron Paul off in particular. Even MSNBC and Fox finish the interview. CNN cut off that soldier on the night of the Iowa caucus when he mentioned blowback, they cut off Ron Paul after he tried to dodge newsletter questions (and later, when they asked him again, he walked off) and now this.....

Interesting to see Ron Paul doing TV interviews from his channels studios, on a side note.

Ron Paul is a truly great man, its too bad that he got cut out. I think they were almost done with that conversation anyway.

It doesn't, and it doesn't.  Why do crazy Ron Paul followers always think this only happens to Ron Paul?

I like Ron Paul and tend to agree with him on foreign policy, but come on... stuff like this happens all the time.  The people on CNN already know what he's going to say; if they didn't want to hear what he has to say, they wouldn't invite him on.

Anytime Rand Paul's nonsense can get shut down, that is a good day.

Just because someone says something stupid doesn't mean they should be censored. CNN is a bad news network for doing such things.

Ron Paul ceased to be useful to the media when Bush left office and the status quo he was railing against was Barack Obama.

lol

Ron Paul stole millions of dollars from the paranoid and young on a campaign he never intended to win.  He's a con just like his son Rand "endorse Mitch McConnell, vote yes after fillibustering" Paul.  All bark and no bite.  

This cult of personality around them by so called independent thinking libertarians is hilarious.

What evidence do you have that they intentionally did this?  If CNN wanted to censor Ron Paul, wouldn't it be easier for them (and make them look better) to just not have him on?

I saw this... and I'm pretty sure it was just the satellite going out.

Inks is right, it would be easier to not have Paul on... I'd rather have had another sitting congressman to argue with Rep. Quigley anyways.

Plus, CNN had David Duke on once for God's sake.  The idea that CNN as a network is biased toward any specific ideology is bogus.

Why are nutjobs like Ron Paul invited on to CNN in the first place? Are they also bringing on Alex Jones and beloved artist David Dees?

It's so much fun to watch the outrage and paranoia over every "scandal" that the Paul - worshipping, hardcore Libertarian side cooks up.

Basically, both of these quotes are true, IMO.

I love hearing Paul (dad and son) speak about foreign policy. They always make the most sense out of anyone they are talking to or debating.
