Dirty Tricks by Fox News Against Dr. Paul Have Begun Again
"We report and we lie"
I am shaking my head in disbelief, though I don't know why. There were plenty of dirty tricks during the campaign leading up to the 2008 election. Cutting his audio so that he couldn't hear questions, to make him look feeble (look for more of that). Preventing supporters from attending debates, and more.
While the Fox Business Channel has embraced libertarianism in the last year, with shows by John Stossel and Judge Andrew Napolitano, the main Fox News Channel is still in the tank for the neocons.
As soon as Dr. Paul was announced as the winner of the CPAC straw poll for the 2nd year in a row, Fox News released their own poll of the top 20 candidates with neocon Romney as the winner and guess who didn't even finish in their top 20?
They used to tout the winner of this poll as the front-runner for the Republican nomination, but ever since last year, it was because Ron Paul brought in a bunch of people. Romney PAID people to attend last year, and still didn't win.
But there's MORE. The dirty tricks for the 2012 campaign have begun folks:
In case you didn't watch. In 2010, when Ron Paul won, the Romney supporters booed loudly. The organizer of the event announces the winner with a fair amount of disdain in his voice.
In 2011, there are chants loudly heard for Ron Paul, and in general the crowd is supportive of the fact that he won the straw poll.
Guess which version Fox News used in their news report for this year? You got it 2010. Then they ask Dr. Paul a question making it seem like the 2010 version just happened and that there were a lot of people booing him.
I guess people don't call it Faux News for nothing.
