Donald Trump received over three times as much news coverage than Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) this year, according to a report by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism.
The report found that Trump was featured in 94 campaign stories by 52 major news outlets from from January 1 to August 14, but the same news outlets only featured Paul in 27 campaign stories.
The real estate mogul and reality television star briefly considered running for president in the spring.
After Paul came in second place in the Ames Straw Poll in a near tie with Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Politico chief columnist Roger Simon and The Daily Show host Jon Stewart both noted that the Texas congressman had not received the media attention he deserved.

They are just making RP supporters campaign harder, they’re feeding the fire, they better watch out.
The FIX is already in…Obama wins when Third Party with Trump runs and takes votes from
the Repubics….
Trump is Obama’s ace in the hole , he is NOT conservative . His potential candidacy is still and has always been a Democrat plant to split the Republican vote an dguarantee 4 more years of Obama so he can finish the globalist agenda.
It’s only because Trump had his own TV show.wooooo big @%# deal!!!!!!
I can understand that. Trump was a new story. Paul is not.
