Well, perhaps they're mentioned in media lot more because they're popular and interesting to begin with?

Hillary = Former president's wife. First FEMALE candidate.
Obama = Well spoken man. First BLACK candidate.

This is bad publicity to Ron Paul and their campaigner's part... Cooking up some uncredible conspiracy theory like that. I've been seeing a lot of these anti-government conspiracy theories on Videosift (like 'Zeitgeist' and 'Economic Hitman').

Mike Gravel is also rather belligerent and whiny during these debates. Not to mention lacks the ability to string his thoughts together in anything of a coherent manner. He was interesting at first when he damn near seemed like he was going to rip his own arms off during the debates, but that died off rather quickly. Quite frankly I'm glad he gets as little time as he does.

As you can see, the programming is working. Spoon-feeding the masses to the point where they see flaws in the other candidates because they probably don't know anything about their positions (because the other candidates haven't been given a fair opportunity to express their positions). And what about the blatent political assassination of Kucinich with the UFO question? Nobody really cared about that because he wasn't "interesting".

Saying the media gives them less time because they aren't as popular is like the chicken and the egg argument. What's wrong with giving candidates like Gravel and Kucinich equal time in the debates? If they can't get people to show up and vote for them then they will get weeded out during the primaries...BY THE PEOPLE and not the media!

That ain't cool. RP has plenty of quality videos and there is no reason to hijack a Gravel video. The message is what counts...hopefully ryan34 will change this to the original source.
