FOX News is facing loads of criticism from Ron Paul supporters who claim the network purposely excluded the GOP presidential candidate from participating in a Jan. 6 forum scheduled on the network, which was reported first on Big Head DC on Thursday.
The forum, which will be hosted by FOX newsman Chris Wallace, was organized by the New Hampshire Republican Party, but political organizers have told Big Head DC that the decision to exclude Paul was not made by the state GOP.
When Big Head DC first reported on the debate, several Paul supporters posited that Fergus Cullen, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, was behind the exclusion. Many were especially angry that Fred Thompson was invited to be included in the forum (along with Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain and Mitt Romney) when Paul has managed to raise more money than Thompson, and is beating the candidate in some polls.
Paul’s campaign managers are now focusing their criticism on FOX News. “Given Ron Paul’s support in New Hampshire and his recent historic fundraising success, it is outrageous that Dr. Paul would be excluded,” Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder said in a press release issued Friday evening. “Dr. Paul has consistently polled higher in New Hampshire than some of the other candidates who have been invited.”
Snyder added, “Paul supporters should know that we are continuing to make inquiries with FOX News as to why they have apparently excluded Dr. Paul from this event.”
To date, FOX News hasn’t answered requests for comment from Big Head DC on this issue.
It’ time to declare war on the MSM. If they wanna play dirty then we must fight back
If you hold NewsCorp stock, dump it. Don’t dump all your stock at once. The vultures will pick it all up again at a low price and the value will pick up again. Torture them slowly. A long slow twist in Murdoch’s spine
Take Action Now! Has Fox News Excluded Ron Paul From the Pre NH Primary Debate?
We need to send a message to Fox’s Rupert Murdoch & his fellow Neocon buddies that he is not Musharraf and the US is not Pakistan, yet! Fox News cannot just stifle public opinion. debate and impact a primary election by excluding Ron Paul just because they don’t like his message of freedom and liberty.
Cover them up with e-mails and they will just say it was a mistake or miscommunication.
Be respectful as all of the email addresses below are just employees trying to keep their jobs with the world’s largest media monopoly. One of them, Judge Napolitano is my choice for Ron Paul’s VP running mate.

Don’t let Rupert Murdoch and the Neocons outfox Ron Paul!!!
If you send me copies of your reasoned, polite and respectful emails to the Fox contacts, I’ll publish as many as possible on our website at http://www.ronaldholland.com/protestfox.htm Send copies of your e-mails to me at skironholland@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Ron Holland
Note, I’m just a freedom loving American who supports Ron Paul but I’m in no way involved with or speak for the official Ron Paul Campaign. For more information on the campaign go to http://www.ronpaul2008.com or http://www.lewrockwell.com
I’m suspecting that this is just a Friday evening prank by a AP staff writer that “accidentally” left Ron Paul’s name out of the story. Sorta like this spoof:
http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i28227
Certainly Fox News couldn’t be silly enough to exclude Dr. Paul from this event.
Could they?
I have a copy of Dr. Paul’s House speech where he really dumps on Murdoch. Fox along with most of the other news outlets have tried to downplay Paul’s run for the presidency. This could just be a ploy by Murdoch to stir up bad publicity against Paul supporters hoping they will turn violent and shoot themselves in the foot. Well Mr. Murdoch, You probably will just have to mess with the vote tally cause I don’t think it’s going to happen.
Glad to see Big Head DC reporting on this. More mainstream media crap. If anyone should be excluded it’s Huckabee and Romney, since their points of view are apparently locked someone in 1955.
Man this is great! I just want to know who at FOX News is a Ron Paul supporter? Paul has needed another Michigan, another Iowa, another SOuth Carolina. It has been some time since someone was stupid enough to give him the attention a good snubbing makes. Fun times are ahead. Pray FOX continues to keep him out.
I hope you all are headed to New Hampshire this upcoming weekend. Heck, show up early do some volunteering (or is that r3VOLuteering) and get free room. Can you feel it?

I have sent an email to FoxNews telling them that I will keep track of all companies that advertise on their network between now and the Jan 6 forum and that I will send all these companies an email about my plan, should RP not participate in the forum, to:
stop watching Fox News;
delete Foxnews.com from my bookmarks list;
boycott all companies who advertise on Fox News between now and Jan 6 for the duration of 2008.
Please send a similar email to Fox News and join me in this boycott. RP raised the $$$ from his supporters. I am sure these companies will not like knowing that they will be boycotted by those who support the RP revolution.
I frankly do not believe that Fox has in fact decided that Ron Paul will be excluded from the debate. This is because it is inconceivable that they would exclude whoever are the “top three” or maybe “top four” winners from the Iowa caucuses. Since those results are not yet known they could not actually exclude Paul. What they MIGHT have done is let it be known that unless Paul (or anyone else) does not make it into the top four or poll more than XX% that such an individual will not be invited to the NH debate.
In other words, the best and absolutely guaranteed way to make sure that Ron Paul is part of the NH debate is for him to have a top three (maybe four) showing in Iowa. Yes, his fund-raising should account for some weight, but unless those dollars and the passion of his supporters and the truth of his positions result in votes, then at some point he will be excluded and he will lose the quest for the nomination. While that would be extremely disappointing, I don’t see how Fox or anyone else could be faulted for concentrating on those who voters declare they are interested in supporting at the ballot box.
The bottom line: Iowa is the key.
Fox is shady…
Interesting article concerning the disinformation started on this blog.
http://www.nolanchart.com/article797.html
Nice troll.
Con’d y’all… RON PAUL!
Ron #2 Matt#8 Ken#9 All 3 make really good points. Lets make sure it is Fox that messed up. It was reported on the official RP site that RP just had not confirmed the invitation yet and that no one in the campaign office knew about the invitation.
So lets double check our facts. If fox News is behind this then we should use the tactics that both Ron #2 and Matt #8 are enacting. But only after we are sure of the cause.
[…] Or imagined. […]
Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate that has not drunk the Kool-Aid. He does not support the “war on terror” which is a thinly-veiled Republican re-election strategy that did work in 2004 and did not work in 2006. He is also the only Republican candidate that is stating that he will reduce the size of government by getting rid of the Department of Homeland Security, as well as other large bureaucratic sections of the federal government.
It’s fairly obvious that Murdoch doesn’t like Paul’s “back to the roots” Republican rhetoric and is using this opportunity to silence him. Dr. Paul was recently on National Public Radio (before Faux News was revealed to be involved in this campaign to muzzle Paul) and said that this may actually backfire on the rest of the Republican candidates.
OK I just went to the official website Ronpaul2008.com and Fox New is indeed omitting Dr. Ron Paul. So I will take the appropriate actions.

Dude! I should have followed that url earlier there seems to be much misinformation and disinformation here on BHDC
I hear that if Ron Paul is elected president, he’s going to appoint Rob as his press secretary. That’s how fucking crazy the guy is.
Your welcome everyone,
I am only looking for
information,that is most popular about anything,but only legal and not adult.
With best regards.
I believe people ought to stop watching FOX altogether. They rely on what they consider to be an ignorant American audience to broadcast to every night. They express their views and opinions in an effort to sway Americans beliefs on current events for their own narcissism. If you are truly an informed American stay away from Fox and their idiocy and learn to gain your own knowledge based on facts and not overemphasized fabricated stories created by a network that thinks you are too stupid to ascertain otherwise. STOP WATCHING FOX! I stopped watching FOX altogether about 4 years ago and I have not missed much.
