Fox News edits out Ron Paul from article

Fascist neocon warmonger and all-around State-lover Neal Boortz used to issue a challenge to his listeners, that if they could ever cite one instance of Fox News slanting or biasing their coverage of the news—not their TV show hosts taking sides or expressing opinions, because that’s what they’re there for—but actually lying, omitting something, adding something, or doing anything else in their coverage of a news story so as to promote a particular (i.e., neocon) viewpoint, then he would admit that they are biased and…well, I guess admit he was wrong and give props to his caller or emailer. His contention was that the seemingly Republican-favorable coverage was actually objective, and only biased liberals could find Fox biased, because the GOP party line is actually the way things are.

I don’t know if he still issues that challenge because he isn’t on the radio where I live and I didn’t even listen to him at the end of my time in Georgia, but if he still does, he is a sad, pathetic, blathering old kook.

Yet another piece of evidence against Fox: Libertarian Underground reports:

Someone over at Paulunteer.com noticed this, and it’s quite amazing. First Fox blatantly left Paul out of the New Hampshire round table debate, and now this. Could they be any further from “fair and balanced”? … Anyway, here’s the “smoking gun”. First, from The International Herald Tribune:

… Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul have passed through [Wyoming] since September. Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain have not.

Now, Fox News:

… Only Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter have passed through [Wyoming] since September.

Everything else about the AP article and the version Fox News published was identical, except their omission of Ron Paul.

Only their fear that Ron Paul’s ideas and supporters endanger their political ambitions could lead them to battle his message and his presence so fiercely. After 4 or 8 years of Social Democratic nightmare, Ron Paul’s successor is destined to come through, because the voters will be fed up not only with the imminent Hillary or Obama regime but also with bullshit like this, and they will actually listen to the message of peace and liberty.
