FOX News: "We're conspiring to keep Ron Paul off the air"

Wtf? Sounds like there was a bad connection? He even said that as they pulled away from him.

 

[AlexG]

Yea a bad connection, who knows if it was intentional or not. Fox News has given Ron Paul more interview time than anyother network, its hard to say that they are conspiring to keep him off air. They may not mention him often in he polls or in news stories but they do give him a nice amount of interviews.

 

[Oddone]

Most of his interviews on Fox are Fox Buisness with Judge Nap. The rest are usually underhanded slaps.

Cavuto always has him on and the news portions of Fox interview him atleast weekly. I'm not trying to defend Fox because they definitely dont give him a fair share compared to other candidates, but they are his best cable media outlet. Then there's CNN and then Ratigan

No your right! Forgot about Cavuto. Only recently started likeing him because of his coverage and slipped my mind.

No, normally what they would do is say "sorry we must be having technical difficulties, we'll try to get the congressman back in just a minute".

All broadcast media people know how to do this because stuff like this happens all the time.

They would be very apologetic and polite about it.

And this was back in 2008 when they really didn't care anyway. Now they are a little more careful about trashing on him. Just a little though.

This is exactly why we need to buy Airtime and News Print Campaign ads. They can't refuse to air it then, and the Campaign can control the message so it won't be distorted.

gretta is such a man face.

Jack offs.

 

[pacelli]

gretta is such a man face.

You're seeing it post-facelift.

"When her show On the Record with Greta Van Susteren kicked off on Feb. 4, just 24 days after her surgery, it was impossible to know how many viewers tuned in to listen to the brainy legal analyst and who just wanted to check out FOX News Channel's newest face."

So, did Bloomberg cut anyone's mike but Ron Paul's and Newt Gingrich's? And did they cut Newt's mike any time other than when he was saying nice things about Ron Paul?

It's ratings and ratings alone that drive the decisions at Rupert's companies. The WORD Cain or Romney or Perry RATE HIGHER in their internal market polling and so to have Paul in the mix just drops their potential for a higher rating, or market share. What we need to do is continue pushing from our end. If Arab Springs can occur with twitter and facebook, then we can certainly elect a president doing the same. We don't need them as much as we think, and our devotion of energy to the topic deters us from the one real objective; get Ron Paul elected!

Like Jon Stewart said: "Fox News should love this guy."

But they do not love Ron Paul - it is so obvious that there is something else at work here - or should I say someone else.

 

[Pizzo]

This was in '08, was it not? Not that he gets treated any better today.

 

[RIPLEYMOM]

It was a set-up. Great video, Qwerty.

Someone could almost close-up on Ron obviously having technical difficulty, if they were to use this clip in another video. It would be easier to see. This video really shows the bias, AND, they mock him, when clearly he couldn't hear them! Anyone who sees this with an ounce of sense, will sympathize with Ron. Powerful stuff.

I don't think you can show enough of these videos.

No, ratings doesn't explain everything. Rupert Murderoch is just another machine for the new world order.

Never underestimate the idiocy that is the herd mentality.

This is rather old. Happened several months ago as I recall. Seemed like a genuine glitch. They should have made it up at some point though.

I find it annoying that everytime I happen to turn on Greta she is talking with John McCain!!!!!

Actually I think the last two debates Mittens has had his mic cut out intermittently. I always laugh when it happens to Mittens because if it happened to Ron Paul they would laugh about it, but when it happens to the chosen one, you know some sound engineer is getting his walking papers.
