Thread: Fox News' turn to screw Ron Paul

Last evening after the debate, Sean Hannity said the "lower tier" presidential candidates have to use "crazy talk" to stay in the race. He was also referring to Ron Paul, who Fox viewers voted the winner of the debate. After Sean Hannity noted the poll, he was quick to change the subject, while writing Paul off as a lunatic and sympathizer with the 9/11 hijackers.

It seems the commercial media is currently doing what they can to screw Ron Paul, as comment after comment on MSNBC (who hosted the last debate) and now Fox casts Paul in a negative light at every chance. It is evident that Fox News is only one in a big list of corporate media outlets whose intent is to cast aside any rationality whatsoever and refer to Paul's stances as "crazy" or "extreme", while ignoring the support of a very large group of American people that support this presidetial candidate.

Paul is the only true conservative republican candidate for president, and he continues to stand by his vision of protected civil liberties and small government.

How does everyone else feel about this?

Sean Hannity works for Fox News, he is not Fox News, he is a commentator.
At least Fox gave the candidates a chance to answer questions, unlike MSNBC.

If anyone believes that the corporate media hasn't got an agenda, all they need to do is see the NON reporting of Ron Paul. It's kind of eery to witness this.

True, and so is Chris Matthews. You should've heard his "critique" on Paul as well. Completely ignore the issues and just call him names ("crazy"). Thanks, Hannity and Matthews.

So you are lumping Sean Hannity in with say, Mat Lauer? You think they have the same agenda? Strange. You have an incorrect idea in your head. You think corporations are for Hillary and Guliani and against Obama and Paul. The fact is that most CEOs of companies are Republican and most Jounalists are Democrat. How does this all fit in your head? I am sure most CEOs of major companies do not agree with Katie Curic, but the advertising departments make advertising decisions based on business and not politics. Sean Hanity has a political commentary show. He is right wing. His views are the opposite of most mainsteam Journalists. Most mainsteam journalists are against ALL of the Republican candidates!! Sean Hanity is against ALL of the Democrat candidats.

We've had this debate before. The only agenda for these media outlets is making money.

Since you and I disagree on this subject and have debated this before, I hope we can agree that Ron Paul got screwed again last night.
