Will the Fox News Exclusion of Ron Paul From Their January 6th Televised Forum HURT or HELP him?

I can't imagine his supporters sitting quietly for this one.

Also, if you can stand watching Fox News for about an hour, write down EVERY advertiser. Then send them a polite email telling them that you will never again purchase their goods.

Update:

Wise One - If you believe those polls, Ron Paul is not as low as Duncan Hunter. He'll be there.

Update 2:

Crabby - Exactly when, where, and/or how did he reveal that he was a racist???

Link please.

    It hurts his chances with the Republicans...particularly the conservative Christian Right which watches Fox religiously (no pun intended).

    Unfortunately for us all, those folks will decide who wins the Republican nomination.

    The funny thing about it, is that Ron Paul should be someone that Evangelicals really like. Only problem they can't let go of this insane war in Iraq.

    If Ron Paul finishes in the top 3 in Iowa, this will simply embarrass Fox and destroy whatever credibility they have left.

    Ron Paul supporters should focus their time on a strong performance in Iowa (winning is probably out of the question with Huckabee pretty much a lock, but Ron Paul finished 3rd among the remaining candidates at Ames) and other early primary states.

    Ron Paul doesn't really gain any votes when he goes on Fox News to begin with. Fox's audience consists solely of the most extreme Christian Right members and Neo-Cons, neither of whom are going to vote for Ron Paul. Ron Paul should just try to get an appearance on another network that night instead. He'd get alot more votes from the Daily Show than from a Fox News debate.

    in case you think of which you will get any information from important flow media, you're incorrect. we are all puppets interior the palms of a few persons somewhat the proprietors of the mass media. The mass media manipulates information any which way they choose. i'm unhappy that Benazir died yet she replaced into no hero as depicted by utilising the media out of context yet only to grant u an occasion. Do u think of he has a huge gamble in any respect. something is achievable. the guy makes lots of expertise.

    I doubt it will make any difference. Ron Paul has revealed himself to be a racist. Genuine libertarians will abandon him and his campaign doesn't have the depth of support needed to get the nomination based only onthe support of some racists.

    Hurt him. FoxNews doubles and sometimes triples other news broadcasts. Fox could give him exposure.
