Why is fox news pretending that Ron Paul is not in the room while talking up weaker canadites?

The GOP is all about a particular agenda. If you want to run for president as a Republican, you have to support this agenda. Ron Paul doesn't, he has his own agenda, so the party doesn't want him to do well.

This is why every 'serious' candidate in 2008 had all the same opinions and positions on all the same issues. This is why the party destroyed John McCain in 2000--he was a 'maverick' and they didn't trust him with their agenda so they killed his candidacy with a vicious slime campaign in South Carolina. McCain decided after that to be a 'team player' so he came back to endorse GW Bush, never disagreed with him in the next 8 years, and by golly, he got the nomination in 2008!

Also I think most leaders don't believe Ron Paul could win in the general election. Paul has a very devoted cadre of followers, but they are not a majority of even the GOP, much less the whole electorate. In my lifetime there were two presidential candidates who were nominated because they had small but faithful followings--Barry Goldwater for the Republicans in 1964 and George McGovern for the Democrats in 1972. And both of them lost big-time, the two biggest losses in at least a century, maybe ever.

Fox News is not really a -news- outlet, it's a Republican propaganda outlet. They WORK for the GOP. So they will pick the two or three candidates that are most loved by the GOP leadership and concentrate on them and treat all the others as also-rans from the beginning. That's their job! They want Ron Paul to quit, so they treat him as a non-person.

Fox information follows the ideology of Roger Ailes. it rather is a community that purports a NeoConservative, Social Conservative and Reaganomic ideology. there is not any place for Libertarianism at Fox.

Because Fox News and all the Newscorp brands are ultra-zionist spy and propaganda fronts.

Rupert Murdoch is a NeoCon

I think Fox is trying to become more balanced after being far to the right in previous years.

Ron Paul is the weakest candidate in the room.

He is not being covered fairly by anyone, including FOX

beacuse roon paul is a libertarian and belives in the legalization of marijuana

Actually, "crazy uncle" is a very good description of him. He just said that Iran is not threat to US. Do you need to continue discussion of his "ideas?"

interesting.. but I dont see why you think fox thinks that... fox is hitting all perspectives i think
