[history]
Fox News moderators in the debate accused Paul of taking "Marching orders from Al Qaeda." Arguably the worst moderating I have seen, as Paul ends up having to debate the moderators?!?
During this debate season, Fox News decided to add "cell phone voting" to the post-debate analysis. After the first debate, Ron Paul won the cell phone vote, much to the displeasure of the Fox News pundits (youtube video from that debate here.)
The second Fox News debate was no different. Pundits Hannity and Colmes assure the audience that Ron Paul is winning the poll simply because people are redialing. What is the point of having a poll if people are able to abuse it? Ron Paul supporters, a bit tired of being beaten down by the media, put together this video to debunk the Hannity and Colmes "redialing theory."

I am curious to know if Fox News viewers would like to see each candidate treated fairly, or if they prefer that the newscasters go as far as lying to make some candidates look worse than others.

I definitely don't think that newscasters should go as far as lying to make some candidates look worse than others.
Ron Paul can do it without their help.

Why Does Fox News Hate Ron Paul?I can't think of one reason. It's probably a multitude of sins.

I used to have some respect for him. I particularly liked reading his articles.
But after seeing him on the "debate" and some of his other recent ramblings....this guy is a nut!

Why Does Fox News Hate Ron Paul?>>>>>>>>>>>>> His an effin traitor, and a RINO to boot.
Running for pres?
He is in the wrong party.
He should call Howard Dean and Michael Moore, and read up on the history of fascism.
Then he will know why Fox hates him.
Paul is in the same mold as Fascist ass lickers like Joseph Kennedy amd Charles Linidhberg were in 1938
And he thinks he has a chance at winning a nomination in the Republican Party.
Who does he think he is kidding?
Ron needs to drop out and take an ethics course in US citizenship.

Why does Ron Paul hate the United States of America?
To: NapkinUser
Perhaps it is because he has spoken out in favor of Iran, Sudan, Syria, Somalia and others in promoting his nonintervention position.

...Dilutes the GOP base. Same as when they voted McCain in the primaries.

I prolly shouldn't feed the trolls, but... Ron Paul is not a serious candidate. His misguided view on the current World War, in which Islamofascists are our primary enemy, and Iraq the place they want to establish as the capital of their Caliphate. Besides, I thought Jimmy Carter taught us a lesson about dealing with these people. I like many of ron Paul's ideas, but his view on the war removes him from consideration by me. Try looking at
Slate, where they keep a page updated on political futures, where people lay down real money on who they think will win...
currently Ron Paul is around 4 out of 100.
Any questions?

To: NapkinUser
Probably because they know he can’t beat Hillary.
To: NapkinUser
Because he made all of his followers put on nikes and drink cyanide flavored kool-aid a few years ago?

I think Brit lost focus for a moment when he asked that and thought he was talking to Juan.
