Has FOX Forgotten Ron Paul?

POSTED BY RALEIGH-ELIZABETH SMITH, JANUARY 30 2008 01:23 PM | PERMALINK

In their two hours of primary coverage, FOX didn't mention Dr. Paul once... meanwhile, Giuliani, who's been behind Ron Paul in recent primaries, has been the talk of the town. With the recent Edwards pull-out, will Paul gain some speed? OpEd News thinks so:

This has been a tough week, with, first Dennis Kucinich and next John Edwards dropping out of the presidential race-- generally, the two candidates considered, in the order I listed them, the most progresssive. That leaves two Democratic...

Back before Ron Paul became an internet favorite, he was quite a newsletter mogul, publishing newsletters under a few different titles since the late 1970s, consistently featuring paranoid, racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic bigotry. James Kirchick over at The New Republic found old copies of his newsletters and has just published a pretty damning expose. It’s likely to cause quite a bit of discomfort among those who’ve jumped on the Ron Paul bandwagon.

The newsletters generally don’t contain bylines,...

With all the talk of change and groundswells sweeping the media (extending even to the talking heads on the Sunday morning shows), it's easy to forget that elections are something of a hassle. For New Hampshire, this is no exception.

Everyone knows they do things a little different in Texas, but unlike our sitting president, there's one Texan who doesn't try to solve major international problems by moving timber on his ranch, all while the photographers click away from a pre-established distance. Actually, there's nothing about distance that describes this Texan at all - he's the straight talking, no apologies, here's how I want it, no more IRS, Texas Congressmen Ron Paul. And he's starting a revolution.

That's the first...

Glenn Beck's grasp of history makes me want to put on a habit and wrap his knuckles with a ruler (it's Fawkes, not Fox), but it's his grasp on reality that makes me wonder why CNN named the conservative Christian radio show host their primetime Headline News guy. (And to all our values voters out there, don't let his talk of Proverbs fool you. He's a reformed alcoholic, drug addict, and Catholic... that's right, Beck's in Romney's club too. He is a Mormon.) But for all the rehab he's...
