>>Jon Stewart ripping on the Ron Paul blackout...<< It's astonishing to me to see how Paul gets ignored and disrespected by Fox News. They talk about Bachmann's victory in the Iowa Straw Poll, but essentially she was tied with Paul, and he doesn't even rate a mention. I don't think the reason could be more obvious. Ron Paul can't be bought and Rupert Murdock will never be able to control him.. However much of an ideological zealot he is, the man stands up for his principles. Clearly, the corporatocracy can't get behind a man they can't own, so Paul is ridiculed or simply ignored.
