Here's how someone explained it to me:

I have many theories as to why they ignore him. Let me see if I can make this concise on my main reason for believing so... Government is not run by the politicians, it's run by special interests, corporations and lobbyists with loads of money. The people who contribute money to politicians for their campaigns to get them in office expect them to favor legislation that supports their interests. Now think of who some of these corporations are that have loads of money... Main stream media many of whom I would bet are players on wall street. They know that Ron Paul can not be bought or controlled and therefore they don't WANT him to win because they realize that he will only favor legislation that adheres to the constitution. They know that he will literally clean house, do away with subsidies, he wants to go back to the gold standard (which will mess with the stock market). Does that make sense Heather? Now that Stewart has outed the media, they are trying to at least mention him but all they keep saying is that he is unelectable, because they want the "sheeple" to believe that. They want people to vote against him even if they like him.
