How can Fox Views Justify excluding Ron Paul from debate?
Fox Views has long maintained a strong bias against Ron Paul. Now they have excluded him from a debate/forum in New Hampshire, two days befere thier Primary. Ron Paul performed much better than Giuliani, who fox claimed was polling higer. Lies! Ron Paul has always been far more popular, but they want to downplay his message. They claim they are fair and balanced, but how can they justify bringing an irrelevant candidate like Giuliani into the debate, but not Ron Paul? They have the responsiblity to report, we decide. Let his message be heard. Even if you dont like Ron Paul, you cant allow media corporations do control your opinion like that. Make a stand for TRUE free press. Boycott Fox Views. Correct, Ron Paul finished Fifth place, Which is HIGHER than Giuliani's 6th place. Yet, Giuliani is inveted, but not Ron Paul. Your logic clearly doesnt hold up. It Ron paul is irrelevant at fifth place, how can you invite Giuliani at sixth place? Doesnt make sense. Stop making excuses for Fox Views. Ron Pual is available and wants to participate in the debate. You can verify this at: www.ronpaul2008.com Its sad that you think Fox has the right to decide who is a viable candidate, instead of the People. Any organization that claims to have any journalistic integrity DOES have the ethical responsibility to include and represent ALL viewpoints. Private company or not, they claim to be fair and balanced. LIVE UP TO IT!!!

- nice little rant you have there, but it's a violation...... maybe Ron Paul was unavailable for debate.
- Polls in Iowa suggested Paul will finish 5th - he finished 5th. The same polls suggest Paul will do no better than 5th in any state - he is a non event and so Fox have rightly left him out so we can hear what the real contenders have to say. This is true free press - noone is telling Fox what to do or report - they are free to ignore a waste of time and space. When are you Paul fans going to get it. Nobody owes him anything - if he can't sell his message that is his problem.
- Ron was probably unavailable. He's a nut-case anyhow, He needs to take his medication before the debates.
- Ron Paul is a conservative, the rest are NeoCons, fox news is a neocon propaganda machine, so where is the surprise? Most people don't remember true conservative values of small government, less taxes, individual responsibility, upholding the constitution, strong country through strong middle class, self sufficiency, etc. Neo cons believe in a big business huge government alliance, that the elite knows best and that the masses need to be scared in order that they can manipulate them. And in the words of pres Bush: "the constitution is just a god d**ed piece of paper"
- Fox is a privately held company which can invite or not invite any candidate they chose to the debate. Deal with it. Ron Paul has no chance.
- Fox may invite whomever they choose. They are a private business and they chose to only include viable candidates in their debate.
- Ron Paul is a contender just that he is being isolated by censorship so that when he loses they can say its because no one knew about him to comprimise for thier rigged elections if the elections were not rigged Ron Paul would win for sure the other candidates are all lousy. I say this because they are all rich corporate puppets who want to be in power to make america how they want it to be without paying any notice to the constitution you can tell that RON IS A LEADER! All the rest are just there to be there.
- Perhaps now that his poll numbers did well in Iowa they will change their minds. We all know that the Paul supporters are rather "excited" but they need to be careful on who the alienate. "Fox invited five Republican hopefuls to a joint forum with correspondent Chris Wallace in the network's mobile studios on the St. Anselm College campus. Network officials said only those with double-digit support in the polls were invited due to the studio's limited space. Texas Congressman Ron Paul and California Congressman Duncan Hunter were not on that invite list."
- Because he is a closet Libertarian.
- Thank you Fox. Ron Paul should just fly his little blimp off to Mars now.
- Fox being biased? As in NOT being fair and balanced????? I'm shocked! That can't be.....
- The media acts as if the can control who wins the presidential election. They do play a big part in it. Many older Americans who make up a lot of the voters, don't have use the internet and rely on the media to know who to vote for. The media doesn't like Ron Paul because he is against the war. I'm sure many of their top stories deal with the war in Iraq. If the war was over, they would stop making money off it and would have to find other topics to talk about. This is the only conclusion I have come up with. Ron Paul is going to help change America, in a very good way if he becomes president, and I hope Fox news doesn't get in the way. I'm very glad ABC also had a debate and invited Ron Paul to attend. What Fox has done, wasn't right. I guess the only thing you can do is try to contact them if this happens again. Maybe eventually they'll open their eyes and know we aren't just going to give up and let them control who becomes the next president.
- You act like fox is really a news network. Get serious. Love and blessings Don
