They just sent jets and limos to pick him up and ferry him to The Daily Show, The Today Show, and any other Lib media outlet he could make the time for. They would let him make his anti-war anti-Bush rants for as long as he wanted, and never ask him about his worrisome rantings.

Other candidates for much more coverage, but it was much more balanced. Paul always got the kid-glove treatment from everyone but FNC.
You might have a point if the media talked about him at all!
