Ron Paul excluded from Fox News Debate

[Nailhead]

However, as a private actor, Fox can exclude whoever they want.

And if Fox wants to sign their death wish by blatantly proving they are NOT a news organization but merely an entertainment channel, I say go right ahead and prove once and for all this is not a reputable news channel and they are certainly not fair and balanced.

For the most part I avoid Fox "news", so I'm a bit excited to see all the flack they are going to take for trying to control democracy. It's about time people wake up and stop watching garbage like that.

Dude, they have never been a reputable news channel. They are a purely entertainment channel. They are brain candy for unthinking right wingers, and that is not likely to change -- they have never been any different. They are raking in the money.

Sad truth: there is a HUGE market for their brand of brainless, howling at the moon propaganda. Excluding RP will not hurt them in the least. If fact, RP would piss off most of their viewers. This is probably the main reason they are excluding him (a close second being they have major ideological issues with him).

Angry Nomad:

You cannot just list a definition which does not support your argument and all and say it does.

The epistemological origins of the word censor imply government involvement (going back to Roman times).

Thank You for the heads up and to Anger Nomad for saving me the hassle of having to find everyones' emails associated with Fox News. Today I will be writing an email and sending it to each and every one of those contacts.

Ron Paul for Hope, for change; Unfuck America 2008

I am pretty sure I remember Ron Paul doing pretty well in the online Fox News polls. Very interesting.

Also, as another poster pointed out, RP is doing better than Fred Thompson in NH! Yeah, I think you RP guys have a pretty legit beef on this one.

Ron Paul is an irrelevant fruitcake, that's why he isn't invited ... :smokin:

Fox is a private organization and have the right to do s, especially when he is almost a polar opposite of giuliani, whom Fox News greatly supports

i was once a supporter of Ron Paul, but i have awaken from my slumber and see that Ron has ZERO chance of getting even 5% in the polls.

this saddens me to say, especially when he is the best out of all most if not all the other republican candidates.

if Morons like Romney and Giuliani, whose own children arent speaking to, are the best the republican party can do.... then that is a great shame and they have to reevaluate what they stand for, and who should represent them hence fort

The media has successfully portrayed Ron Paul as a Crazy Old Man , which is disappointing

By the By, I now support Obama, as i did b4 i discovered Ron Paul

and hilary scares me as beng someone who will do whatever it takes to win, just like Giulliani, Romney and the rest,
:hippy:
