If you don't already know, the Iowa Straw Poll, seen as a first test of organizational strength by news media and party insiders, took place yesterday. The results weren't too surprising, considering that McCain, Fred Thompson, and Giuliani all boycotted the event. What was surprising, however, is that Fox News blatantly cut certain candidates out of the results they reported. Here are the uncensored results from the Iowa Straw Poll: 1 Mitt Romney 4516 31.6% 2 Mike Huckabee 2587 18.1% 3 Sam Brownback 2192 15.3% 4 Tom Tancredo 1961 13.7% 5 Ron Paul 1305 9.1% 6 Tommy Thompson 1039 7.3% 7 Fred Thompson 203 1.4% 8 Rudy Giuliani 183 1.3% 9 Duncan Hunter 174 1.2% 10 John McCain 101 1.0% 11 John H. Cox 41 0.1% Here are the results that Fox News reported: Notice that positions four and five were completely skipped. While it's a commonly-held opinion that Fox News seems to avoid mentioning Ron Paul, I've never seen an example of such blatant censorship from them before. In case you were wondering, they weren't mentioned in the audio of the show, either.

Someone should check to see if they are violating FEC laws, and sue the living crap out of them in general principle.
Murdoch is the guy that arranged a benefit for Hillary in which his friends contributed several million dollars.
That appears to be the true goal of the GOP, that is, ensuring Hillary Clinton's corronation.
That is EXACTLY what is going on...the 'right-wing media' would benefit greatly from having Hillary in office.
There is only one party, the "governing elite party". They give us two people out of 300 million to vote for and the masses really believe they have picked a president.
They give us two people out of 300 million to vote for and the masses really believe they have picked a president. Amen.

Case in point Obama. He was created as a viable candidate from nothing FOR A REASON. The very same power/elite are making sure that the people do not select a candidate such as Ron Paul.
The Bush-controlled courts have already ruled that FOX doesn't have to tell the truth when reporting the news.
Their slogan should be... "We lie, you cant prove it"...
aristeides posted the Washington Post also ignored Ron Paul, but not those who polled less than Paul did.
Are you inferring that omission was intentional?
But no Paul. http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=59133&Disp=22#C22 Oh yeah, entirely intentional.
Ha... Just an oversight I am sure.
Listening to Frosty Wooldridge (sp?) on the PowerHour is not cheering me up about "things."
fuck fox
Both laughing and crying here.
Ron Paul. President. Spread the Word.

Dan Balz's front-page article in today's Washington Post on the Iowa straw poll doesn't even mention Ron Paul, unless I missed it. The article mentions several other candidates who did worse than Paul in the poll: Tommy Thompson (who was sixth, right behind Paul,) McCain, Giuliani, and Fred Thompson. It also mentions all four who finished ahead of Paul.
