As someone with 37 years experience in the print media, I have two complaints about the way in which the electronic media are covering this Republican presidential primary: 1. You can't trust a bunch of liberals to comprehend what's going on in an election in which the candidates are trying to appeal to a conservative electorate, and

2. You can't trust TV talking heads, period. They're chosen for their looks, not their brains.

If you doubt that, watch the above clip from CNN. (Look here for non-IE browsers)

I'm sure this guy is trying his best, but has he slept through the entire campaign?

Everyone who's been paying the slightest bit of attention realizes Ron Paul despises Newt Gingrich. The feud dates back to

in Texas in which Gingrich supported a Democrat who switched parties and ran against Paul for the GOP nomination.

But even if you didn't know about that, anyone who listened to the debates would have to realize their political philosophies are complete opposites. Paul is a small-government conservative and Gingrich is a big-spending, big-government "transformationalist" - whatever that means.

And then there's the fact that Gingrich long ago stated that he would not support Ron as the nominee. Read this article in which Gingrich blasts the Texas congressman and states, "I think Ron Paul's views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually every decent American."

That article also notes that Gingrich was reacting to some attack ads funded by Paul. That's further proof that the two are bitter enemies, though anyone who was paying the slightest attention to the campaign would know that by now anyway.

It's obvious that Paul is much more sympathetic to Mitt Romney and that Romney in turn has been going out of his way to be polite to Paul.

Yet watch at the one-minute mark as this guy asks Ron what the chances are he'd consider dropping out and supporting Gingrich.

What follows offers yet another example of what a gentleman Ron Paul is.

In the same situation, a lesser man might have said, "That is the single stupidest question I have heard since I entered politics. Haven't you heard a single word I've said in the past year?"

"Zero," is all Ron says.
