Why is Fox News deliberately attacking Ron Paul?
Fox News: Airing Old CPAC Footage Showing Crowd Booing Ron Paul Was A “Mistake”
This weekend, Rep. Ron Paul won the straw poll at this year’s CPAC the second consecutive year. However, when he was interviewed about victory during America’s Newsroom on Fox News, yesterday, they aired the clip of his announced win in 2010 in which there is a significantly higher amount of booing from the crowd. Fox News tells Mediaite that this was a mistake and that they will be issuing an correction on America’s Newsroom tomorrow morning. It is unlikely this explanation will satisfy Paul supporters who seem to believe the network tried o disguise how much support the congressman has amongst the GOP base.
In both years, CPAC pollster Tony Fabrizio can be seen announcing Paul as the winner while wearing a dark suit and a light blue shirt. However, in the 2010 video, the booing is much more pronounced, forcing Fabrizio to vocally address it, raising his hands and trying to calm the attendants with a “Now…” During the 2011 announcement, the cheers and boos seemed much more equal (not to say that he didn’t get a lot of boos again this year, they just weren’t as easily distinguished).
Yesterday, Fox News aired the 2010 footage and incorrectly identifies it as 2011. Bill Hemmer then begins his interview with Paul by asking him about the booing. Once the error was noticed, Paul fans quickly took to the Internet, flooding YouTube with video proof of Fox News’ “deception.” However, Fox News claims it was completely accidental. Mediaite received the following statementfrom Senior Vice President of News Michael Clemente:

FOX NEWS is your Fascist NEOCON propaganda station. If you watch the video, Bill Hemmer and the old video that was shown, it’s all premeditated, with Bill Hemmer using the controlling words “Boos” “Not What You Expected” HIT PIECE against Ron Paul.
FOX NEWS used the Audio and Video from 2010 when Mitt Romney’s paid supporters were bussed in to boo Ron Paul’s victory.
FOX NEWS is trying to control their “RINGER” candidates to keep the establishment corporatist controlling it all. The Money Masters that control all these sellout politicians of both parties… Except, someone like Ron Paul.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is who Propaganda works to manipulate the people. Joseph Geobbels would be proud of FOX NEWS… Aka FAUX NEWS
Paul asks…
How threatened are liberals by Fox News?
I would saying judging by their Fox News lies narrative that they repeat over and over in hopes that if they say it enough times people will start to believe it, I would say VERY threatened.
Nagesh answers:
Well, Fox News is a conservative media outlet, much like conservatives seem to feel threaten by internet media, in which is quickly dominating the cable media. Also, there are allot of liberals that fact check, and tend to bust on Fox News’ deception. Sorry about being honest, but Fox News isn’t really a reliable source, it is more of a sensational entertainment than real news.
~Also, comedians LOVE Fox News, since! Conservatives are a great tool to make fun of!
Richard asks…
is fox news channel bias ?
or is everyone that works there a republican i stop watching fox news channel because to me alot of there opinions and comments sound very bias to me.. especially bill orielly there commentaries sound very judgemental and borderline degrading sometimes
Nagesh answers:
FOX news itself is probably the least biased of the news shows. FOX has a variety of commentary programs which do tend to be conservative. However, it should be noted that FOX is the only network that does lean conservative. All other networks tend to be liberal and give a liberal slant to their news shows and if they have commentary it always is liberal. I would rather have my news straight without bias and have commentary clearly labeled as such. It gets my goat when I watch a “news” cast that only gives the liberal side and never the conservative side or worse yet classifies conservatives as unpatriotic or stupid.
Joseph asks…
Why do people watch FOX news?.?
What attracts people to watch FOX News?.
also, what are the demographics of people who watch FOX news?.
How many viewers does FOX news have?.
Nagesh answers:
Fox News is a playground for conservatives. MSNBC is a playground for liberals. Each news station has an enormous amount of hypocrisy. It’s very simple.
I personally hate Fox News. They happily defended Phil Robertson’s comments regarding homosexuality. They say he has the first amendment right to free speech. That is true. However, they got angry and went ballistic over American Atheists putting up their billboards.
MSNBC is the same exact way. They kiss the ground Obama walks on no matter what.

Conservative fox news viewer, explain to me this?

This was taken by the Pew Research Center, it isn’t biased, they didn’t show the chart but it shows that people who do not watch news are actually more informed than Fox News viewers and same with those who watch The Daily Show. Fox News is completely f*cking stupid, 63% of Fox News viewers thought Saddam Hussein attacked us on 9/11 months after 9/11! LMAO, watch a real news station. I’m not saying other news stations aren’t biased but Fox beats them all by FAR with their bias.
@Demoncrat Did you watch the video, it was taken from the Pew Research Center…
@Constitutionalist It was taken by the Pew Research Center…
Nagesh answers:
Fox News is just here to fuel a dying party with people ignorant and credulous enough to believe in their lies and vitriol. Just last month, O’Reilly claimed that Christianity was a philosophy not a religion. He argued this point against an atheist no less. This is why Faux News has the least informed viewers.
NPR most informed all the way!
