Just no on Fox News Biz Alert Ron Paul got a big plug. They were talking about how his message on competing currencies and smaller government won wall street's support. They then discussed him running as a third party candidate and one women on there was quite straightforward about the chances for success. I was surprised.

What are you doing watching Fox News? ;)

I've said it a million times to everyone, Fox News doesnt hate Ron Paul. It depends on which opinionated journalist you talk to. Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity are social christian conservatives who think its the government's job to make everyone moral, and its the US's job to police the world, and that our policing accomplishes its goal, when it doesnt. So, of course, they personally dont agree with Paul.

However, the business side of Fox is absolutely in love with Paul. They are the fiscal conservatives and they understand economics, so they understand Paul when he talks about the economy and monetary policy and the falling value of the dollar, etc, and they know he's right when it comes to the economy at least.

Considering that, it kinda kills the idea that there is some Fox conspiracy to promote some agenda, or destroy Ron Paul's chances, and confirms the idea that some individual journalists dont agree with him or like him, but others do.

Yes but what's the ratio of viewers for Fox Business vs. Fox News??
 
I think there are genuinely some Ron Paul fans on Fox Business News, but the kicker is NO ONE on Wall Street watches FBN, and EVERYONE watches CNBC...okay maybe the percentage is about 2% to 98%, but FBN has proven to be quite a joke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2EJh6ihcqM

If I wanted ratings, I'd certainly be friendly to Ron Paul and all his supporters who are quick to switch the channel.

Even worse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Wbh_GSwzo

P.S. Peter Schiff and Jimmy Rogers rock.

How is that Conservative or Republican again? It's not. It's socialism. Big govt.

All news has an agenda. Don't be naive. It's not a conspiracy if they ignore him despite his largest ever amount of money raised, straw poll victories and larger crowds than any other candidate. It's fact. Fox does have an agenda otherwise they wouldn't be salivating over giuliani and murdoch wouldn't have donated to hillary.

>or destroy Ron Paul's chances,

They can do this by ignoring him disallowing him to be at their rountable or limiting his chances to speak at the debates which they certainly did.
Fox has their chosen few candidates they like.

>and confirms the idea that some individual journalists dont agree with him or like him, but others do.

The f.b.c. is a small and new channel. Barely anyone has it. I don't and I've got all the channels so it's not even offered.

One miniscule mention of paul on fbc isn't going to be seen by most voters or even be as big as a debate on their main channel.

Please keep things in perspective.

True. Fbc needs ratings and it's certainly not the first time i've heared people say they watch Cnbc for their stock market info, for msm tv anyway. I've seen that talked about a lot.

I'm not arguing with you on the first point. I was just stating what they believed, I wasnt trying to justify it.

You're still forgetting that there are business segments on Fox News throughout the day also. I've seen RP plugs here and there, and he has had good interviews with them.

Hell, he's even had a few plugs by people on prime time shows, from as far as Ann Coulter, to Alan Colmes. Hannity and O'Reilly arent the only people that run Fox News. Maybe you should watch Fox past random edited youtube videos, and realize that it isnt the "Great Satan" some of you make it out to be, just because it does have a social conservative(which I agree isnt really conservative) tilt, and a fiscal conservative tilt.

Now, the fact still remains, that we could have a billion dollars in the bank, if we dont win some real polls, or prove ourselves in a few primaries, no one is going to take us seriously or consider us. While YOU AND I may personally believe we can win this, most news networks along with most people have the mentality of "he's great, but doesnt stand a chance." And thats understandable. Hell, do you see Alan Keyes as having a chance in hell? Is it unfair that he doesnt get any airtime? No, because his poll numbers are virtually unregistered. Again, we're starting to prove ourselves, and we have been getting more and more coverage every week. Now, we have to prove ourselves in Iowa and NH, and you will see our name even more in the media. Whining about it, and having the idea that there is some conspiracy or effort against us is going to accomplish nothing.

I stopped on the channel because they were talking about capitalism and free markets in pakistan and how to change the place over there. They noted that establishing private property rights is probably the first thing that would have to be done. Then they switched over to our economy, and Ron Paul's name flew around the whole time.

I don't have any way to get it on youtube, and it's not on their already. Hopefully it makes it, though.
 


Look, you don't have to try to BS me. I used to watch Fox A LOT, especially when they started out, because frankly the other news stations were very socialist leaning in their slant at the time(mid 90s). Unfortunately fox became very neo-con(ex-trotskyite) like in their political outlook and not very conservative. Especially in their foreign policy and what their guys would push on their shows. And this is sad because it is the opposite of a Republican. Neo-cons are more like moralistic wilsonians. Hedging for and Spreading democracy and getting into foreign wars, etc. Those are traditionally Democrat party constructs, not Republican.
So fox has lost a lot of viewers(though so have most ms-media conglomerates). The Republican party has been falling appart and many people have left it. If it weren't for Ron Paul, it would still be on life support. Thank the gods a real Republican is trying to save things and sort the party out.


At fox, most of their hosts push for war and that we should be over in other parts of the world spreading democracy, which is a democrat party ideal, not republican. Then they have their top political roundtable shows with People like Bill Kristol(Son of Irving Kristol. The creator of neoconservatism) and Charles Krauthammer, who head their big political roundtables and like I said, this is the direction that the network went, politically speaking, so they've made their bed.

There are very few of these. But for the most part cavuto rattles on about mccain, romney, guiliani and huckabee, just like the rest of the msm do.


>Maybe you should watch Fox past random edited youtube videos,


Oh I have and I do. It's good to see what the ms-media is up to every now and then.


But with the msm becoming less reliable, After the primaries I'll be ditching my cable and satalite tv contracts because internet-new-media is the new way to go. It's tech-savvy, hip, cool, and dirt cheap, etc. Plus I get all of my sitcoms and shows free online as well as any news feeds I want.

Btw i'm definitly a joe-six pack type. I watch pro wrestling, like to drink beer and am an all american type. So people like me have woken up. Joe six packs make up the majority of America. But I also have a masters in poly-sci.
