Yvonne Ridley, who is one of the most respected mainstream journalists in the UK and who now hosts a TV show called "The Agenda," invited John Mappin, who last week announced his media group's support for Ron Paul in the US, to appear on a news show that was supposed to be discussing what Hillary Clinton's chances were in the election. Ron Paul however quickly became a predominant topic of discussion. As you will see when you watch the show at the link below, Ron Paul's ideas and his campaign quickly grabbed the interest and the attention of the panel of political and media experts who agreed that Ron Paul's nomination would indeed split the Democratic vote and it was clear that the amount of voter support for Ron Paul may well be underestimated.
As US political expert Professor Toni Michelle Travis of George Mason University stated on the news broadcast.
"Ron Paul can split the democratic vote."
The show can be viewed in its entirety at Press TV's web site:

Many Ron Paul supporters have emailed the show and the Press TV network in support and there is now talk of further coverage of the Ron Paul campaign by Press TV.
Please contact Press TV at theagenda @ presstv.com and let them know your views.
Press TV also aired, in full, the song "Inner Truth" which is dedicated to Ron Paul and which shot to number one in the UK last week on Utube when it was released by John Mappin from Camelot Castle in England. The song and clip which can be seen on U Tube here are creating thousands of allies for Ron Paul.

John Mappin was delighted with the way that the program developed.
"It became quite clear to me that the mainstream media has really been caught off guard by Dr. Paul, even those who should be aware of what is occuring with US voters have no idea of the sheer size or the impact and power of the Ron Paul campaign," said Mappin.
"Interestingly Ron Paul's campaign for Freedom is not just a phenomenon that is limited to America. It's Global," said Mappin.
"I am certain that we will now see other Ron Paul like leaders emerging in other countries across Europe, the Middle East and Asia for they have learned from the positive response to Dr Paul's wisdom and will now create political campaigns of their own along the same lines," he continued. "God knows, we need a Ron Paul in England immediately. Truth and wisdom cannot be stopped by even the thickest armour plate and whatever the mainstream media try to do to block Ron Paul's message, in the long run they will fail."
He added, "The fire of freedom is already well ablaze and will not be put out. It is somewhat ironic that an Iranian TV network based in a country that is often presented as a supposed threat to freedom is giving Dr. Paul the airtime that he deserves."
Yvonne Ridley has an extraordinary track record as a journalist of integrity and principle. Captured by the Taliban in 2001, she became a household name, as the world watched with bated breath as her imprisonment and release from captivity on the first day of bombing in Afghanistan grabbed the media's attention.
She has since continued on in her campaign to help diffuse inaccurate and bigoted misunderstandings between the West and Islamic cultures. She is the anchor and presenter of "The Agenda" and one of the most influential journalistic voices on the international mainstream media and political stage today.
"It is no surprise to me that Yvonne Ridley is one of the first mainstream journalists in Europe to give appropriate notice to Ron Paul's Campaign. Yvonne has a history of delivering in her role as a journalist of integrity and is second to none when it comes to searching out the truth and exposing it," said Mr. Mappin
