Didnt see it, I know he sued to get in...did he?

LePaul, you just can't stand that your holy grail of media is actually a biased source trying to manipulate the election the same way as it has manipulated the news.

If ABC excludes RP from it's debate and includes Rudy, then it is just as guilty of manipulation. I had to work tonight so I did not get to watch the debate. Was RP on stage?

This may just backfire on the media. When voters see the media deliberately including candidates that out polled others being excluded I'm sure there will be a backlash.

This is not a .05% candidate being cut out. This is a candidate that garnered 3 times as many votes as one that is being invited.

Face it, Faux News is just as biased as your other so called "liberal media". Hurts to face the cold hard facts, does'nt it?

No. He didn't sue anyone because he was never excluded.

Well rpm, Foxnews isnt *my* sole source of news...Drudge, Reuters...I hit them all. So your assumption that I am sold only on what Foxnews puts out is completely wrong. Heck, sometimes I hit the British sites too...but those boobies on Page 3 sometimes distract me

But hey, thanks for the angry post. I didnt see you present any "cold hard facts".

And I'm just not hurting.

Well, I'm lying. I am laughing at you

rpm · « **Reply #34 on:** January 06, 2008, 03:04:35 AM »

I did'nt say it was your only source. I said it was your holy grail.

The truth hurts, does'nt it?

It is?

And no...it doesn't hurt.

Sorry, RPM, as hard as you try to make this some sort of personal dig at me, it just aint working. First, I dont care one way or the other about Ron Paul. Second, I have no idea why you are trying to be so vindictive over a BBS post.

Dunno, dude...my life just dont revolve around the BBS. Maybe that's why you are a few zillion posts ahead of me

Yeah, you're not a Faux News fan.

Face it, they are just biased and manipulative trying to push their own private agenda.

Can you admit that?

Oh, nice try at deflection because of my post count. I think I'm like #30 or so on the list and I don't have my own private forum.

My life revolves around finding the murderer of Shiela Reed.

Wow, you certainly are trying to make this some sort of personal crusade.

Oooooh.

I noted the usual "faux news" lameness....because based on...ready?...the facts...that Fox wasnt the only news organization to not host your *beloved* Ron Paul. I provided the link earlier. Mr Paul, in that article, indicated he was suing to get into the debate.

Rolex says he was there, I dont know...didnt see the entire debate.

I don't see the "manipulation" you claim. But again, I dont base my "news collection" from one source.

You seem to feel I do. Whatever. Don't go blowing a stent trying to think "Boy I've shown that Paul guy a thing or two! Yay me!" You haven't.

But please, by all means, keep detailing for me how, somehow, my life has been thrown sideways by your post

Let's see... They include Rudy who got 1/3 of the votes RP did but is a good little Republican. Yeah, no manipulation there.

It's not a dig at you, it's a statement of fact about Faux (that means fake) News. It's not a news channel, it's a yellow journalism outlet. The fact that you are trying to defend them is why I am taking you to task.

You are the one that wants to make this personal taking my post count to task. Frankly, I couldn't give a rat's patootie because Maine has, what... 4 electoral votes? I just want you to admit Fox is a biased media outlet pushing their own private agenda instead of being the "fair and balanced" bastion of media. Just because they have a little flag waving in the corner of the screen does not make them tell the truth.

Fair enough?

LePaul · « **Reply #39 on:** January 06, 2008, 04:03:18 AM »

Heh, now my state doesn't count. Waah.

You're asking me, and the readers here, to feel Foxnews is a smear station. Meanwhile other organizations are hardly exept from criticism. CNN, NBC, etc etc all have their own controversies.

I'm not going to comment on your gradiose notions that Foxnews is somehow the scum of the news organizations.

All I did was point out how ABC's exclusion of Dennis Kucinich in the debate seemed to escape discussion. You guys have rallied on how terrible Fox is, while completely ignoring the point I made...if Fox is bad for ignoring a guy, how is it so OK that ABC do it?

Answer that.

I've made no attempts to "defend" Foxnews. You are the person who has insisted I am a devout follower and only beleive what they publish. I've stated that's not the case. But you continue to insist you know me better than me, and continue to insist that somehow you've proved how wrong I am.

You've failed. Again.

You want to rethink that statement?

Yellow journalism, in short, is biased opinion masquerading as objective fact. Moreover, the practice of yellow journalism involves sensationalism, distorted stories, and misleading images for the sole purpose of boosting sales and exciting public opinion.

Just the facts.

LePaul · « **Reply #41 on:** January 06, 2008, 04:23:56 AM »

Yawn.

Again, in your opinion. >shrug<

Well, at least we agree on one thing. Care to prove it wrong?

I've never said any other source is unbiased. You just can't seem to admit that Fox is not "fair and balanced".

Maybe you need to get out the reading glasses, gramps.

There is nothing in the article you posted indicating that Ron Paul was going to sue anyone about anything.

He was never excluded by ABC, so why would he have sued?

He is being excluded by Fox, but he not suing anyone.

Is it a full moon?

rpm · « **Reply #44 on:** January 06, 2008, 07:10:52 AM »

He heard it on Faux. It has to be the truth, you amerihater.
