<\/a>Ron Paul says his exclusion from last night’s debate on Fox “News” is an “awful embarrassment” for the Republican propaganda outlet.<\/p>\n

The Republican Presidential candidate points out, during an interview this morning on CNN, that he received 10% of the vote in Iowa, where he finished well ahead of Rudy Giuliani — who was<\/i> allowed to participate in the Fox debate — and that he’s beating him “2 to 1” currently in New Hampshire. As well, Paul points out that his campaign has “raised more money than any other Republican candidate in the last quarter.”<\/p>\n

He also notes both the impossible and the obvious in a single sentence when he charges: “I think they’re making a mockery of the whole situation…because they’ve lost all credibility.”<\/p>\n

Fox claims their criteria on deciding who would participate in the New Hampshire debate was based on who was receiving at least 10% in the national polls. RAW STORY has the story and video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paul supporters are seen in this video<\/a>, chasing Fox “News” and ABC radio propagandist Sean Hannity down the street last night in New Hampshire, chanting “Fox News sucks” and yelling reminders to the Republican party mouthpiece that he is not, in fact, as his fans would otherwise claim, “a great American.”<\/p>\n

Similarly, Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich was not allowed to participate in Sunday’s (capital “D”) Democratic debate on ABC. The Ohio Congressman is filing a complaint with the FCC<\/a>, which points out, among other things, that the Disney-owned network is “violating its obligation to operate in the public interest,” and that he “is the only Democratic presidential candidate who has qualified for Federal matching funds who is being excluded by ABC.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile American democracy (small “d”) gently weeps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
