Fox News Confirms: "No Need for Paul at Debates" Insiders at Fox News Confirm that Ron Paul to be Excluded From All Future Debates(Satire)by EJ Moosa

Insiders at Fox News headquarters in New York City have confirmed plans to exclude Ron Paul from the next and all future Republican debates.
Insiders who did not wish to be identified were not surprised that Paul was to be excluded. "He has said the same thing for over twenty years. We are a news station and there is nothing new in Paul's positions".
Another insider added "we need to give this time to the other candidates. They are the ones that constantly change their positions and that is the real story here. Hell, some even change their positions during the debate. Now that is serious news!"
" The higher ups came down on us hard", said a third insider. "We do not need to put Ron Paul on TV to spread his message. A fifth grader could apply Ron Paul's Foreign Policy because it is just that simple", a reference to the hit show hosted by Jeff Foxworthy on Fox TV. "If we see a Ron Paul elected, we won't need all these news shows to tell the American people what to think about what they just heard. Some of us consider this saving our own jobs".
Whispering softly, she said with confidence "If any other candidates had the consistency and principles of a Ron Paul, we have plans to take them off the debate as well. But I doubt that will happen."
Author's Note: The above events did not actually happen. But if they had, none of Ron Paul's supporters would be surprised.
Update: It seems that the anti-Paul crowd is now attempting to make an issue that the "debate" was never scheduled. What should be questioned is why Paul has been left off of so many polls, and why it would be so believable that it occurred.
Take the time and go to http://realclearpolitics.com and drill down on some of the survey data there. You will find that many polls do not even include Ron Paul as a choice. If you ask biased questions, you will get biased results. GIGO as they say.
The real outrage will be the days after Iowa and New Hampshire when so many people who paid for polling will ask why their data was so inaccurate.

What the hell is this? A big BS article of hot air?? Say you have a bunch of inside info followed with examples, then say 'Ha,ha... just kidding'??
Don't bother picking up a pen, or for that matter, a mouse, if this is what you offer. Headlines travel, and BS travels faster. Why are you spouting lies about confirmations by
What does this two-bit news site know about FOX news and their insiders? Do those quotes even sound like professionals? If you're going to make up something to get some views try to be a little more creative and realistic.
None of that actually happened? Man, you had me going there. Hahhaha...Now I am mad at Fox again. Hey, I am mad as a fox. Hahaha.....Uh oh..Ethel is yelling again. Wants to know who emptied the Scotch bottle again..Gotta go.
All funnin' aside Ron Paul should have every chance to state his views- but no one should vote for him. Just listen to him, think some and apply his ideas to the world as it is today, and then think

To Whom it may Concern,
I am writing to express my disappointment and displeasure upon discovering Dr. Ron Paul will be excluded from the New Hampshire Debates. Dr. Paul has placed #1 among Republicans AND Democrats at AOL's spam-proof poll. Dr. Paul LEADS ALL Republican candidates in fund raising this quarter. Dr. Paul is tied for third place in IOWA. Dr. Paul's support is known to be great among Independents, former Republicans and Democrats. Surely these people deserve to have their candidate heard! Dr. Paul Is the MOST searched for candidate on the internet. The exclusion of Dr. Paul from these debates would be for me the final convincing piece of evidence that we the American citizens are no longer in control of our destiny. Once the process to file FEDERAL complaints via the FCC is automated, you may expect a flood of letters to your affiliate stations stating FOX affiliates are NOT acting in the public interest.
Yes, this article is satire. If you had bothered to read the top section before the article began, you wouldn't look so stupid posting your comments. Why are some people so dumb?
Come on you critics, get a grip. It was immediately apparent that this was a joke -- and its humor derived from the underlying truths. Dr. Paul is, and has been, steady at the helm. His campaign platform might be boring to the media because it has not changed in 20 years, but the impact he has had and the broad-based support he has gained makes a fascinating story and an imporant study for politicians with any integrity. Too bad Fox does not report it. And, of course, Paul's challengers reject his positions because he counters the politicians' reason to exist - create thousands of new laws.
Dr. Paul's approach to his job, whether in Congress or the White House is wonderfully simple. Follow the Constitution.
Wow, some of you people are really dumb. If it wasn't obvious this was satire, or just a little fun at Fox's expense, then maybe the word SATIRE would have clued you in. Probably the same idiots that don't take time zone into account when calling voters on Ron Paul's behalf. You're not helping by being ignorant. But, thanks for playing.
ROn Paul ideas are old? As far as I know they are the newest one. Neocons are complete socialist. There ideas are havee been tries since ancient times and always failed. If you want Change, vote for Ron Paul
I am a fan of Fox News. It is on my tv. 24 hrs. a day. I thought you were FAIR AND BALANCED Fox News. Why are you afraid of Ron Paul? It seems to me he has not be fairly treated. Alot of people who watch Fox News won't forget the way you are handeling this election. Laura Duffy
Who is Fox News to say who should speak at the debates this decision is going to come back on you with your sponsers.
Step up to the plate and let Ron Paul have his right to speak. That would be the fair and balanced News that made Fox #1. Laura Duffy
