Fox News NOT Editing Ron Paul out of AP News Stories
http://www.libertarianunderground.com/…
Someone over at Paulunteer.com noticed this, and it’s quite amazing. First Fox blatantly left Paul out of the New Hampshire round table debate, and now this. Could they be any further from “fair and balanced”? It’s amazing that I once considered Fox to be less biased, or at least biased more in my direction. It turns out that if you deviate from their party line at all – that is, the neoconservative Republican establishment (a relatively recent turn for Republicans) – all pretense of journalistic objectivity goes straight out the window.
Anyway, here’s the “smoking gun”. First, from The International Herald Tribune:
Now, Fox News:
You may notice if you follow the Fox News link they now include Paul. The version that Fox apparently had up first was from here. You can clearly see it was later updated to the expanded AP article from here. Notice also that the statement about Huckabee, Giuliani and McCain is not in the older version. Given that the second one is more wide spread and has it’s own page I’m guess it was released after the one not including Paul. The AP screwed up and Fox just copied it. Happens all the time. Paul supporters: calm down. I wouldn’t put it past Fox to do something like this but I think it’s obvious in this case they haven’t.
