Fox removing Ron Paul’s name from their news?

(Here is the correct Reddit link.)
From The Paulunteer Mailbox:
Hi,
Fox is apparently removing Ron Paul’s name from their news.
Look at this:
“Only Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter have passed through since September.”
and compare it to:
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap
http://www.ajc.com/metro
“Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul have passed through since September. Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain have not.”
The news is from AP. If you google the first words you will find it on a few other sites, *with* Ron Paul and that Huckabee, Giuliani and McCain have not been in Wyoming.
Maybe I am wrong or being paranoid … but I think their bias is obvious.
*Updates:
Ron Paul has definitely been to Wyoming since September. This was not a case of Fox fact-checking and fixing the article. See video proof here.
Here is the original article direct from the AP.
*Update #2: A comment below suggests that the correct AP source should be this shorter one. I challenge that notion, however. You will note that the Fox article cited above and the original article cited above are identical except for the omission of Paul’s name. It seems obvious that the original article cited above is the one that Fox used for their article and that they did not use the shorter one suggested in the comments.
(Thank you, Mix, for bringing this shorter article to our attention.)

At least if you click on his name and read their story on the ABC debate, they snuck in a Ron Paul mention complete with a “quixotic” jab.

Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 12:41 amIT IS COMPLETELY OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE NOT ONLY CENSORING PAUL, BUT ON GIULIANI’S SIDE BY TAKING OUT THE LINE ABOUT GIULIANI NOT MAKING IT. This is the comment I left on their page at http://youdecide08.foxnews.com/2008/01/03/wyoming-to-hold-fogotten-caucus-between-iowa-new-hampshire-primaries/#comment-20156 Everyone should give them a piece of their mind as well: To Fox: You blatantly omitted a candidate’s name and then an entire line out of this article that you took from The Associated Press: ORIGINAL VERSION: “Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul have passed through since September. Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain have not.”
YOUR INCORRECT VERSION: “Only Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter have passed through since September.”
YOU ARE A FRAUD. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/01/03/america/Wyoming-Republicans.php
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 1:35 amBy the way I found the original article from Associated Press: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/W/WYOMING_REPUBLICANS?SITE=NMALJ&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT Im going to email the author and ask her for her opinion.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 2:38 amThe original Associated Press article is here:
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/W/WYOMING_REPUBLICANS?SITE=NMALJ&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
I emailed the author and am awaiting for her response. Basically if you are going to reprint something that I wrote and want to change something, you would have to AT LEAST make a note of it. Otherwise you are straight out falsifying my words. Unbelievable… They really are THAT SCARED of him..

Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 11:10 am[…] Fox removing Ron Paul
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pmHoly God do I hate Fox News. These people are so blatant. At least the other channels are usually a little more smooth about their bias.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 1:40 pmI am not sure what to do with FOX. I have been paying attention to all the happenings. I think we should hit them where it hurts.
Right now my idea is this. I have not shared it before on the internet so this is a first.
I think we should picket BMW dealerships. I have seen that BMW is a sponsor of FOX, the dealership is one arm of BMW that a picket line would directly affect their income. We can do a nationwide picket of BMW with “END the WAR don’t buy BMW” signs that would force BMW to speak out for or against FOX. Fox would be forced to address their issues.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pmThat’s an interesting idea, Steve.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 4:47 pmDon’t forget about Faux News reporting Tom Delay as a D after his arrest for whatever it was, inappropriate conversations with underage pages.
But you know why Republicans don’t use bookmarks, right? Because they like their pages bent over.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 5:18 pmMy bad, it was Foley, not Delay, but the story remains the same otherwise:

Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 5:25 pmThat’s not the original AP version, that’s a later version with Ron Paul added in. The original version is:
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iNxTApa2sQRu0Xx99P3jt2bEXw7gD8TUF5JO0
The same as the Fox version.
Nobody REMOVED Paul, they ADDED HIM.

Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 5:37 pmMix, I have replied to your comment with Update #2 above. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 6:22 pmMix: The version you have is much shorter. However Fox used the longer version and that is the one containing Ron Paul.
I doubt AP has made three versions, because it would make no sense: A long one, a short one and one just 11 words shorter than the long one? Why would they do that?
Also, google parts of it. You will find the long one everywhere.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 6:53 pmOh, and btw: If the accusation is wrong why does Fox not respond?

Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 7:40 pmIt’s unfortunate that people accept the marginalization of candidates as typical. Paul and Kucinich are both being portrayed as radicals without being given the chance to offer substantive explanations of their policies.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 8:44 pmThanks, Fox, and may you be ransacked with blowback for stifling democracy.
Ron Paul is 11th hour libertarian wedge from the republicans. (they do this every election to get the young, websurfing, uneducated vote.)
I’d have to say that every supporter of ron paul i’ve spoken to, clearly doesn’t understand american politics or history and seems like they haven’t looked passed his manipulative rhetoric of his website. Lazy americans? yep there are a lot of them.
As usual your thoughts were very eloquent and right on. he is the same old sheep in wolfs clothing. Most people don’t understand what the civil war was about or have they read the original constitution.
As Jon Stewart said, “he is the candidate to sweep up the voters who can’t spell Libertarian.”
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 9:29 pmMatt,
How many supporters have you talked to, if you don’t mind sharing?
We here and many others in many other places would be more than happy to show you that in fact we do know exactly what we are talking about.
I also find it hard to imagine that you would choose “manipulative” to describe Ron Paul. This suggests to me that you have not read anything about him and have based your opinions off of the hateful and ignorant things you have heard from others.
I find that many people who share similar words to the ones you have posted here often seem to have a strong distrust or dislike of government and politicians but at the same time have a strong distrust or dislike for the only political movement that wants to empower you. Us.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 9:35 pmDid any of you actually read the article?
“Jan Larimer, Wyoming’s Republican national committeewoman, said her area — Teton County, in western Wyoming — turned out several Romney and Ron Paul supporters at the precinct caucuses. About one-fourth of the county convention delegates were chosen at the precinct caucuses.”
By the way…Mead Gruver at the AP is apparently who you should be upset with…link… http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h5OOlm1KiB8Xqt3JqGsF2uBwQL9gD8TUAFS80
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 9:40 pmJoe,
You’ll have to check out both links to see what we are talking about.
We are referring to the blatant deletion of the fact that Ron Paul DID visit Wyoming. This made it appear as though Dr. Paul did not care enough to go to Wyoming when in fact he did.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 9:46 pmThey should have let him talk. If he’s the best man he should get a chance. People will decide wisely i hope. Though somehow they didn’t do very well with Reagan and the second Bush.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 10:42 pmThere are two versions of this AP article, and FOX News has published both. Here’s the one containing Ron Paul’s name.
http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_wires/2008Jan03/0,4675,WyomingRepublicans,00.html
Google has also published the version you claim was docotred by FOX News. Would you say Google is also removing Ron Paul’s name?
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iNxTApa2sQRu0Xx99P3jt2bEXw7gD8TUF5JO0
Seriously, you guys need to stop spreading lies in order to display Ron Paul as victim of media conspiracies. This makes us Ron Paul supporters look like morons, and does more harm to his election campaign.
Comment made on January 6th, 2008 at 10:56 pmThe fact that Fox’s text exactly matches the shorter AP article where it omits paul makese me think that perhaps there were three versions of the AP article — an original one which didn’t mention Paul, a shorter one based on the original and uncorrected, and a revised version of the original which added Paul. The original one would have been withdrawn when the correction was made, but AP neglected to revise the one which showed up in the short collection. The other sources used the revised version, but Fox used the original.
This is all just a guess to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the exact match in the erroneous text suggests that it originated with AP, not Fox.
Comment made on January 7th, 2008 at 5:08 am[…] even though Paul is the biggest money-raiser in the race this last quarter. Fox News is even editing Ron Paul’s name out of Associated Press stories. Yeah, they erased Ron Paul, tried to rub him out! Fox News figures if they don’t include Ron […]

Comment made on January 7th, 2008 at 8:18 amStopSpam,
First, I would ask that you notice the question mark in the title and the inclusion of this line “Maybe I am wrong or being paranoid … but I think their bias is obvious.”
Secondly, though, I would say that what you have pointed out proves that they did this intentionally. The article you showed us is their wire story that included Ron Paul but then the one they promoted on their “You Decide” website, the one that they ask everyone to read, is the one without his name.
Comment made on January 7th, 2008 at 8:22 amFox News Corp. should be SUED by a class action suit brought not by the campaign itself, but by the hundreds of thousands of Ron Paul supporters who are blatantly being disenfranchised INTENTIONALLY by Fox News Corp.
Comment made on January 7th, 2008 at 9:49 amRegarding the comment quoting Jon Stewart, some people are mislead to believe that we support Ron Paul because he is running as a Republican. I’m a Republican and could honestly care less which party (or even none at all) the good doctor aligns with.
Ron Paul’s message, core values and unwavering consistency is what attracts support to his campaign from all political parties.
This guy is the real deal. He’s not the stereotypical “lesser of two evils” type of politician. You can’t buy Ron Paul, because The Constitution is NOT FOR SALE!
Comment made on January 7th, 2008 at 9:52 am[…] Fox News has provably, indisputably been caught in the act of censoring news about Ron Paul. Of course, most people who are aware of the Ron Paul campaign (which is to say: people who get their news somewhere other than Fox) were already pretty sure Fox was intentionally keeping Dr. Paul out of their reporting as much as possible. This is just absurd, though. […]
Comment made on January 7th, 2008 at 3:05 pmExtremely funny to the guy who said all Paul supporters have no knowledge of history,and that he is an 11th hour republican effort.
Comment made on January 7th, 2008 at 5:10 pmSir,I am a former life-long democrat,with a degree in international relations [I know,this does not amount to much knowledge,per se,but I did live in Africa and a number of other regions,along with several states in the US of diverse ranging-MT,MA,CO,CA),enough to have been exposed to the range of historical approaches.]-and your comments are so out of line with the truth,that I’d have to wonder if they are not purposefully deceitful.
I have registered Republican,b/c parties no longer mean anything; integrity and truth do. And real discussion about issues and what to do about them. Ron Paul is the ONLY one daring to challenge the CFR power structure. Why would I vote democrat? The major candidates being touted are nothing but ‘Neo Libs’. Again,I have voted democrat for 20 years now. No more. This game is over. It is you who should be reading up on history,as well as on RP. The man is real; at least give him and your fellow Americans the respect of researching his long history in Congress. And quit it already with the generalized badmouthing and stereotyping of all RP supporters. Thankyou.
I’m watching MSNBC and Keith Olberman said twice Sean Hannity was being followed by angry Ron Paul supporters.
After that they stopped showing clips that didn’t show the Ron Paul supporter signs, and started calling it a mob of angry Republicans.
It’s like they can’t even say Ron Paul’s name. I’m starting to think Keith Olberman should get one of his own “Worst Person in the World” awards for censoring Ron Paul supporters.
