A few days ago I posted a link about how Ron Paul was shut out of the May 15 South Carolina Republican debate by Fox News. Apparently he is going to be in it:

Also, I posted that Mike Gravel was frozen out of the June 3 New Hampshire Democratic debate by CNN because he was something of a maverick. That decision has been reversed as well.

In both cases, it seems that bloggers put pressure on the media.
Last night's Republican debate wasn't big on substance, but I noticed one thing: when Ron Paul stated that he was adamently opposed to a National ID card, suddenly all the other candidates who supported it started to backpedal.
Even though Ron Paul is a long shot, his principled positions are having an effect on the others. Let us pray that it continues.

That debate will be televised live on Fox News Channel from 9:00-10:30 PM, Eastern time. I haven't found anything that says it will be livestreamed on the Internet; I hope it will for us TVless citizens.
