Private network vs. Military Dictator
by Dusty Anus January 4, 2008 12:39 PM PST
I'm a big Ron Paul supporter.

BUT, comparing a privately owned media outlet, that can invite
whomever they choose to participate in a forum or debate to a
military dictator is a bit much.

Ron Paul supports private property rights and should respect
Fox Snooze's right to disinvite him. He can and should do what
he can to rile people up against Fox and for his campaign, but
the supporters that are calling Fox News dictators are way off.

I disagree

I know Ron Paul's policy on this, I am a very active supporter. I
know all about letting the marketplace decide. But when it comes
to an election, I believe there should be laws to prevent this type of
thing from happening. We're dealing with an organization that
wields untold power and influence. To give them free reign is NOT
letting the market decide, it's letting a few elite decide. The exact
opposite.

FOX IS THE PROPAGANDA TOOL OF THE NEOCONS AND THEIR MASTERS.

Yes, they are free to decide and we are free to BOYCOTT and complain all we want. OUTFOXED is a documentary exposing them for the neocon propaganda tool they are. The NeoCons and their Masters might have over played their hand this time though.
Bzzt Wrong

Fox has to have a license to transmit over public airwaves. They are still public even if it's going to a satalite. They are violating FCC rules.
Turn off the TV, logon, and be heard.

I think most of us understand the power of the internet community, and together we have a chance to keep the media from dictating who should be running for office. Generations before ours Americans were manipulated by W.R. Hearst and his press - America has not recovered.

The internet give us a voice, unlike anything we have had before. Maybe, just maybe, we can learn to forge our own world, instead of the one the media wants

Fox decides fair and balanced doesn't pay

Follow the money. It's all about the cash. The ones pulling the strings are the ones who benefit on a consistent basis.

The message
by NonUSAObserver January 5, 2008 7:26 AM PST
As a non USA observer, I believe that Fox News has inadvertantly done a huge service through executing this exclusion of Dr. Ron Paul, because they have openly shown the world their bias in the election process. This is not new behaviour from them, and I don't believe trying to change them is the answer, however what a great tool they have provided for illustrating to people why they need to wake up and think for themselves. This is just one of the reasons why I like Dr. Ron Paul's message so much, because he encourages people to be responsible for themselves and this would surely include that one does not rely purely on the popular media for the facts!

Ron Paul will suprise the establishment
by wake up sheeple January 5, 2008 1:35 PM PST
I think Ron will do in New Hampshire, since the voters tend to think for themselves (unlike some other states filled with sheeple). But all RP supporters need to remember - Internet support does not translate to votes. Some of the supporters I have met with here in Arizona aren't even registered, let alone as a Republican (this is a closed primary state). Get the message out now to everyone you know - get registered NOW and VOTE. Small numbers of voters and activists will sway this race but time is running out.

The industrial corporate
by woogerbear January 5, 2008 3:09 PM PST
Its a sad thing when we have come to the point that the Republican
party that is hosting the primary has no say in who gets a say in
the primary...everyone should think very hard about this and being
a moderate Republican I believe Ron Paul to be in the right about
corporate America controlling the political agenda and I will vote
for him
It is no mistake that his name has not been mentioned on CNN CBS
ABC NBC and FOX yet he is polling in the double digits...

Republicans even want Change!
by Limbaugh January 5, 2008 9:11 PM PST
Holly Cow! He is a Republican. He's Smart. And knows what he's talking about. I guess that's why all of the other candidates are stealing his speeches! Go to YouTube and type in Ron Paul Debates. Once you feel his message of freedom, you will Change as an American. I've begun to feel Patriotic all over again. Just ask Barry Goldwater Jr. If you're Republican enough to Remember him.
