Just till of late, it's seemed to me that Fox has been providing a
needed alternative to the leftist spin one is always bound to get with
the other major media outlets, and though I've never been a 'fan' of
Fox, I've maintained a certain appreciation for the fact that with it,
at least the other side of the story would at last seem to be getting
a shot.
This viewpoint took a serious hit for me, when we saw how Fox had shut
the door to Ron Paul for the televised debate they held some weeks
ago. It's not because I'm any fan of Ron Paul, nor that I was all
disappointed for lack of a chance to hear more of his somewhat off the
wall ravings, not at all.
What bothered me is that in face of the fact that the man has managed
to garner quite enough support, especially via the Internet, that he
should decidely have rated, and should have been granted an equal shot
to air his views along with the other contenders--that this was
totally obvious, also it was just SO monstrously obtuse.
For Fox to have done that right out in public, in the face of the fact
of Paul's popularity--it could only have led to a suspicion the
strength of certain conviction that some kind of behind the scenes
political manuevering from the RNC was behind it. That Fox can be
bought or bumped or have its arm twisted became for me the conviction
that goes beyond a reasonable doubt. I wasn't guessing; I felt certain
of it.
But now, in view of this . . .

.. . . mere disappointment and complete distrust turns to disgust and
since an overused word like 'outrage' won't do it, okay, try *hate*.
Now I hate the Fox. Watch the video and note that the issue involved
rises to far greater proportion than as may immediately appear in the
first few minutes--but hang in there, as I guarantee you, your hate
will not be disappointed.
