An Un Re-Constructed View on the News and Politics from a Missouri Reb in the tradition of Jim Wolfe's "A Man about Missouri" 04-14-65
Fox News Fair and Balanced? Yeah right. This weekend Fox hosted the Republican Presidential Debate in New Hampshire,only this time, it was with a twist. Instead of having viewers vote on the internet on which candidate they thought won, viewers were asked to "text" their votes in via their cell phones. The result was the same. Ron Paul was the clear winner. And how did "Fair and Balanced" Fox react?
"Hannity not only refused to congratulate the winner, he downplayed the significance of the polling triumph by the one candidate who clearly stood out from the other seven debaters. Having just admitted that Paul had won the poll, Hannity immediately made reference to the supposedly small portion of the American electorate who support the Texas congressman when he added, "He's having all of those three percent of people calling in, I'm sure." After a comment from co-host Alan Colmes who suggested that Paul "just did very well," Hannity mumbled a response: "He got 33 percent. Well, it happens...."
Yeah it does happen Sean. The fact that it did happen is probably chaffing your Neocon ass pretty good. Maybe momma Hannity has got some baby powder for you at home to ease the pain. It is a clear example of corporate media's real goal, which is not to report the news as it happens, but rather to protect the government.
John F. McManus has covered this in a most excellent manner. You can read the article in its entirety and watch You Tube clips of Dr. Paul's performance as well as Sean Hannity's unbelievable bias by clicking on the following link:
Special thanks to the Constitution Party of Missouri, "Bob" in Kansas City and the John Birch Society for spreading the news!
