Is Fox News the worst news site? Is this why Ron Paul lost? Seriously what is going on?!?!?
Hello. I was just looking over state primaries over my candidate Ron Paul and I noticed something that disturbed me. I went to wikipedia.com: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2008_Republican_Party_presidential_primaries It stated for the State of Nevada: Mitt Romney 51% Ron Paul 14% John McCain 13% Mike Huckabee 8% Fred Thompson 8% Rudy Giuliani 4% Duncan Hunter 2% Mitt Romney wins the state of Nevada. Ron Paul gets second place. Now take a careful look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsoSX_b4lSo Fox News here states that Ron Paul actually got 3rd place if you look at the polls below. That's one mistake. Second mistake is when they mention the people, the mentioned Romney, McCain, and Huckabee but nothing about Paul. I mean McCain and Huckabee scored below Ron Paul and Fox never said that. They mentioned him below where you can barely see but never talked about him. This disturbed me. What is going on? OMG- That is not Fox stating that. That is the creater of the video mentioning that. How come Fox never said what Ron Paul got but said what some lower scores got? Is this biased or what?

- Nope. Fox News is the Number 1 ranked News Network in the United States. That was not the final report given by Fox News sir. Put Ron Paul's loss where it belongs, please. I for one am tired of hearing about his loss. Face it, he was a bum candidate. As was stated at the very beginning of the clip, "At the time of this reporting Ron Paul was running 2d and 3d." You must have missed that as a result of all your suffering over his loss. Don't blame Fox!
- The youtube vid at the top right corner showed Reporting < 1% means less than 1 percent of the results came in, fox is just estimating...
- Nobody cares about Ron Paul.Get over it and move on.
- Nothing... different pollsters get differing results.. a spread of a couple of points would more than make that difference.. in any case the reporting on *one* state wasn't the reason Paul lost.... nor is the reports of *one* network enough to stop a clear winner. (even it is the number 1 cable news network) Ron Paul was never more than an "also ran".. even Huckabe got more votes than he did.
- They all are bad. They have a new agenda: they used to inform you, but nowadays, they are influencing you rather than informing you....
- Answers to your 3 question: 1) Yes - they are number 1 so people have something to laugh at in this current mess we are in. 2) No, no one who supports the Constitution can win anymore. 3) What is going on is the fact that we need another revolution not just an election to clean up this mess. Big money has put Bushie in power and it shows how dumb big money has become with all their inter-breeding to keep the money to themselves. Freemasons one and all.
- FOX NEWS MAKES MANY MISTAKES IN THEIR REPORTING. I WATCHED THE OTHER DAY WHEN THEY HAD THE PLACE THAT IRAN SHOT THEIR MISSILES FROM ON A MAP WITH THE NAME....WELL, THEY MISSPELLED "STRAITS". THEY ADDED AN EXTRA E BETWEEN THE T AND THE S. ON TOP OF THAT, THEY HAD THE WRONG LOCATION TARGETED....IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH FURTHER SOUTHEAST OF THE LOCATION THEY HAD HIGHLIGHTED. CHANGE STATIONS.
- They also cut Ron Paul out of an early debate when he had done better than Guiliani, but let Guiliani in. There is no question RP 'qualified' and as the least known candidate most needed the exposure. Did you notice what happened to Fox's ratings immediately after that? http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2008/01/31/fox_news/
- actually it's the Top rated cable news station. that's what's going on obamabot MCCAIN 2008
- Fox on most 'news' items is no better or worse than anyone else. However when it comes to political news it's Roger Ailes personal disinformation outlet and a major player in the GOP's Ministry of Propaganda. I suspect that FOX is #1 because it's where the dittohead listeners of right wing radio go when they're not glued to their daily barrage of nonsense from their favorite talk show 'host'. For their part the 'hosts' get their talking points from the Heritage Foundation and other right wing propaganda creators. I'm not a big fan of Ron Paul, but since he stayed out of synch with the GOP generals he got edited out. Sen. McCain sucked up these ferrets, crawled up Bush's anatomy and kissed the rings of the radical clerics of the Christian right. He got their luke warm endorsement even though they still think he's a 'liberal' with no real 'conservative' resume except that he got 'shot down'. Paul, though sometimes nutty and off the wall, to his credit, he refused to kiss @ss....so he got bupkis from these bozos. So far, FOX hasn't said much that's positive about Sen. McCain...they expend all their ammo putting the bad mouth on Obama. I can't wait for the Fairness Doctrine to be re-instated. So much for 'Fair and Balanced'...the irony is enough to make 'ya hurl!! No kiddin'!
