The best overview I have seen of the Ron Paul/Third Party Candidate news conference that was held on 9/10. Some extremely important issues were discussed; the author did a nice job of summarizing them and the press conference in general.

"Third" party candidates and issues are seldom covered in the big corporate media. The claims on polling numbers are not substantiated here. The article does reflect the views of the parties and many of their supporters. The most hopeful result is perhaps reflected in the last paragraph: "Who knows, maybe the media will even ask McCain and Obama their views of the four points raised in their joint statement." Much in the four points resonates with many Americans.

This news report has journalistic merit. It presents information from a press conference and is largely limited to what was said at the press conference. Thus there is little context provided for the remarks. However the speakers' points are presented with clarity and without bias on the parft of the author.
