Incendiary Lit

Regardless of who you support in the upcoming elections, this is pretty disturbing. FOX News Network, home of the so-called “Fair and Balanced,” has decided to exclude two Republican candidates from their upcoming debate this Sunday. Despite Ron Paul’s 10% of the vote in the Iowa caucus, (compared to 4% for Giuliani, and 13% for Thompson and McCain, who all received invites to the debate) Fox News has refused to allow him or Republican hopeful Duncan Hunter, citing, among other lame excuses “limited space in their studio.” Riiiight. In response, the New Hampshire Republican Party has withdrawn their sponsorship of the debate. NH Party Chairman Fergus Cullen explains: “Limiting the number of candidates who are invited to participate in debates is not consistent with the tradition of the first in the nation primary. The level playing field requires that all candidates be given an equal opportunity to participate – not just a select few determined by the media prior to any votes being cast.” Word. Way to go, Faux News.
