I guess it really doesn't surprise me that Fox News doesn't want Paul's voice heard. TV cuts candidates from debates, angering Paul backersNEW YORK (AP) -- ABC and Fox News Channel are narrowing the field of presidential candidates invited to debates this weekend just before the New Hampshire primary, in Fox's case infuriating supporters of Republican Rep. Ron Paul.www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/31/debate.limits.ap/

Anyone else wonder what happened to the last 5 percent of precincts that still didnt report? I mean, In Iowa caucus's, that probably amounts to about 200 votes (or something that should have gotten counted in 15 minutes) and if Paul did well with them he could just wind up 3rd ... According to the Alex Jones types, Iowa uses computerized tabulation big time so it wouldnt be a surprise if the last 5% were simply misplaced .. Not so in NH though ... paper ballots all the way ... 10 percent will be only the beginning ...

I heard on NPR this afternoon that Paul is back in the Fox debate after his strong showing in Iowa.

Ron Paul was on NOW with Bill Moyers tonight discussing his campaign. Paul stated that he will be in the ABC debate. But he said he was excluded from the Fox debate.
It's not certain exactly what time the interview was recorded. It was aired at 8PM Pacific Coast Time. (So Paul's statement may not be current)

It wasn't Now, but Bill Moyers Journal. www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/index-flash.htmlI am positive it was current, they talked a lot about Huckabee's win and fascism. Referred to the recent interview with that fat guy on MSNBC.

Just finished watching Moyers' Journal. Paul's libertarian philosophy collides with his own candidacy. He cannot criticize the media for keeping him out of the debate, as he believes the media companies should be left alone to do as they like.
Kucinich, OTOH, thinks the broadcast media companies should stand alone, and not be owned by companies with other interests, such as Disney owning ABC, and GE owning NBC. Still, the Military-Industrial Complex and the Medical-Industrial Complex (Kucinich's words) will unduly influence the corporate media.
Ever wonder why Boeing is such a heavy advertiser these days? It gives them clout to stifle ant-war reporting, and any other topic they deem undesirable.

I was just watching the Republican debate on Fox. After the debate, they asked a focus group some questions. When the camera focused in on the back of the room, there were Ron Paul supporters outside holding huge signs up against the windows. It was great!
I can tell you this -- they needed Paul in that debate. I don't think the Republicans have a viable candidate. I mean they are REALLY out of touch with the issues.

You're right about that.
The Republicans keep trying to convince Americans how scared they should be of terrorists and how we're in such mortal danger from them every minute of every day.
It's complete nonsense. We're safer than we've ever been in all of American history. Other than Ron Paul, the Republicans offer nothing but fear-mongering, war mongering, and new schemes to eliminate all taxes on the rich.
