BrianHorsfield MSM is ignoring this.

The lead story on the CNN politics page;

As Iowa looms, playing field suddenly shifts for Romney

You have to dig far into the article to find their evidence to support this headline:

"The most recent average of Iowa polls by RealClearPolitics placed Gingrich in first with 23%, followed by Paul with 18.7% and Romney at 17%."

Romney is all over the CNN politics page with 5 mentions in the headlines of the top 12 political stories. Paul has one, and it's:

Perry 'taken aback' by Paul's comments on Iran

I can find almost no mention of this poll yet on any major media!
