Slate on FOX's Doctoring of AP Article

From Slate: Doctored Paul

At 11 a.m. today, one of FoxNews.com's top stories was an article about a Nevada brothel owner endorsing Ron Paul. But the story wasn't written by Fox News; it was a tweaked version of an Associated Press story that hit the wires early Monday. And, to make matters even more muddled, that story was taken from a Reno Gazette-Journal piece. Something was lost in translation....

This is a great read. Continue here...

I know the origin of that piece

I know the writer who originally blogged the Story in Reno.
She called Ron Paul supporters "single issue" people.

like:
hippies, for legalization of Marijuana
hyper-libertarians, for abolishing the IRS.

You get the idea.

She even did a face to face interview with Ron, the video is at the Reno paper's website.
She also DIDN'T notice that there were 6 times the number of PAUL supporters, than were there for Romney.

Even the self-described

Even the self-described "ardently progressive" bloggers are getting wise to the anti-Paul bias:

"I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but it does seem like the MSM is out to get Ron Paul."

Creative Writing?

OR making copies? I've seen this happening over and over --the writers are basically copying things.

So much for 'fair and balanced'

This only serves to confirm suspicions that few in the mainstream media (this includes Rush and Fox) are fair orbalanced.

But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers

Thanks to Slate for pointing

Thanks to Slate for pointing out Faux News' plagerism and omitions from the origonal AP story, which I read. Its no suprise to me that Faux News stole the story and made it thier own. I doubt if there is even one true journalist employed by Faux. They're all nothing more than MSM drones who report what they're ordered to report. I find it very interesting how they made sure to use the term "underdog" in the headline...as if RP were still out on the fringes. Well, Faux News, RP is NOT on the fringes. He represents the very core of Americans...that explains the 4.3 Million he raised on 5 November. Thanks again, Slate, for keeping the "spin" fair and balanced.
