Ron Paul excluded from FOX News debate

im not a fan of ron paul, but how can foxnoise justify locking out a leading republican candidate in such a manner?

PLAISTOW, N.H. -- Ron Paul said the decision to exclude him from a debate on Fox News Sunday the weekend before the New Hampshire Primary is proof that the network "is scared" of him.

"They are scared of me and don't want my message to get out, but it will," Paul said in an interview at a diner here. "They are propagandists for this war and I challenge them on the notion that they are conservative."

Paul's staff said they are beginning to plan a rally that will take place at the same time the 90-minute debate will air on television. It will be taped at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown.

"They will not win this skirmish," he promised.

The Fox debate occurs less than 24 hours after two back to back Republican and Democratic debates on the same campus sponsored by ABC News, WMUR-TV and the social networking website Facebook.

Paul, the Republican Texas Congressman, was wrapping up his final day of campaigning in New Hampshire until the Iowa Caucuses on Thursday.

He spent much of the day campaigning at diners in Manchester and Plaistow and downtown walks in Derry and Exeter.

Just being their fair and balanced self. It makes sense to...a guy with "absolutely no chance", except on Fox Debate, Internet and Straw Polls, even polling better than Fred Thompson in NH...why should they let him speak, it's not like they are a NEWS station or anything.

I take it Thompson, Tancredo and Duncan aren't allowed to speak either?

Also, I wonder if they have to take him back on once he won the Iowa caucas.

Fox News have the right to interview who they want in line with their own political agendas...

Yeah, and we have the right to ridicule them if they claim to be "fair and balance", eh?

Of course they have the right, they are a damned TV station. What worries me is that the other candidates aren't saying "well **** it then, I'm not coming either". Now that would be a good message. This TV station is just ****ed up however that they would even consider throwing out a possible next president however unlikely because of their own political ideals.

And I don't know if TV stations like this get any kind of support from the government in any way shape or form, but the government should at times like this cut or just stop all that support.

Except it's not an interview. It's a debate.

Probably that they call it a debate while it is a biased shitfest for idiot wankers, now that Paul won't speak.

You say that like it wouldn't be, even if he was participating.

In all truth, I think it's a joke the way he's treated by his fellow candidates, as well as the media.

Though it's bullshit cop-out, considering how Paul's popularity has grown, it (supposedly) has to do with his single digit national numbers.

They still haven't officially not-invited Paul; I think with the negative media they're getting over it, they send a late invite his way and make some excuse about it being an oversight of some sort.

I agree, he's a kook, but let the kook be heard.
