I think all media outlets agree on one thing:
F.R.P.
how many of you sheep have bought the media's take on ron to date? Is he REALLY unelectable? or are you being told not to vote for him?Fox News Caught In Ron Paul Dirty Tricks
In a shocking act of mass public deception, Fox News attempted to skew Ron Paul’s 2011 CPAC straw poll win by representing it with footage from the previous year’s CPAC event, at which Mitt Romney supporters had loudly booed the result, another example of the continuing dirty tricks campaign being waged against Paul by the establishment media.
Congressman Paul replicated his 2010 victory over Mitt Romney by defeating the former Governor of Massachusetts for a second consecutive year at the annual CPAC conference.
However, before anchor Bill Hemmer introduced a segment concerning the story, Fox News played a clip of the 2010 announcement of the poll results, during which Mitt Romney supporters had loudly booed Ron Paul’s victory, passing off last year’s footage as representative of this year’s event.
Hemmer then proceeded to state, “In the end he was the winner, probably not the reaction he was hoping for,” describing the reaction as “mixed applause and boos,” before directly asking Ron Paul if he knew who was booing him.
“Who was in the audience booing you, did you get a name, did you get an ID on those people?” asked Hemmer.
In reality, there were hardly any boos after Ron Paul was announced as the 2011 CPAC winner, the result was met with a massively positive reaction, only Fox News deemed it necessary to hide that fact from their viewers. The video clip above shows the real footage from the 2011 event, proving that Fox News had attempted to deceive Americans into thinking that Paul’s victory was unpopular, by deliberately using the wrong footage.
A separate We Are Change Oklahoma clip of the 2011 straw poll victory confirms that Paul’s win was met overwhelmingly by a loud chorus of cheers and applause.
This is the second time in the space of a week that Fox News has deliberately used dirty tricks to try and ostracize Ron Paul by discrediting the legitimacy of his potential candidacy for president.
A Fox News poll released earlier this week which asked who would make the best president included many of the potential candidates that Ron Paul trounced in the CPAC straw poll, yet the Congressman’s name was not even included in the survey.
Exemplifying again how the establishment consistently tries to derail Paul’s momentum by ignoring his very existence, obscure names like John Thune and Jon Huntsman were included in the Fox poll and yet Paul was omitted entirely.
Chiggity chek yo selfs, sheeps.

Right, it was the Ron Paul supporters who did most of the booing that weekend.
that weekend is irrelevant to what happened at this year's CPAC. so is this comment btw.
I was talking about this year's CPAC.
The biggest threat to Ron Paul's support is the people who support Ron Paul.
someone else post foxnews.jpg this time, thanks
so not only is Foxnews bull for the GOP. its bull for the bought out GOP by lobbyists.
so if you losers are keeping score, Fox News works for big business lobbyists and you are suckers for believe them.
the only reason they discount Ron Paul is because he won't listen to lobbyists and that scares the establishment.
so its in the lobbyists best interest to paint him as unelectable.......because he is UNTOUCHABLE.
you fox believers are so stupid and ignorant.
Yes. Not that it's going to stop me from voting for him.
Given Fox "news" overall standards, it would be hard to say whether any given up was deliberate or just plain sloppy.
If you want to hang your hat on "they used the wrong year's footage deliberately", I wouldn't put it past them, especially if doing so pushes a particular viewpoint.
I just don't discount the "yet another dumb up" possibility entirely either.
I think Occam sides with stupidity in this case.
LOL CPAC.
The height of political irrelevance.
Yes, he is unelectable. His positions threaten too many entrenched special interests.
Fox mixed up CPAC tapes from last year, with tapes from this year? How pathetic.
WTF are journalists for in the first place if not to keep like this straight and explain the difference?
I agree.
(feints)
According to FAUX (Hardly) News , the Wisconsin protest are a 'coordinated effort' by the White House and the DNC...
Paul is a retrograde creep but he is the only one even hinting at what needs to be done: radically decreasing our military. But I'm sure it's just rhetoric/posturing, if elected he would undoubtedly double-down on our military spending and misadventures ala Obama.
