...If Ron Paul wins the Republican nomination.
This will show once and for all that we have a Two-Party Dictatorship controlled by the elites.
"Divide and Distract" has been working quite well for them, but Liberty will win in 2012.

Never happen. You think they want to lose a big chunk of their audience? It is a business, you know, where money is made by advertising and the ability to price that advertising based on the number of eyeballs watching your shows. Given those two choices, they wouldn't endorse.

I've heard this too.
Fox News is the most critical of Ron Paul of all the networks...

It really is all about money. Follow the money. Ron Paul would help the underprivileged, the poor, and the military... and Fox News can't stand that.

where are you getting something like this? I would doubt FOX will endorse anyone and Paul won't get the nomination anyway most likely.

If you are going to put a title like this on a thread should you be able to back it up?

I'm sure they will have their justifications-most of it will be fear-mongering.
Saying things like, "Well at least Iran won't attack us under Obama".
But the facts are that Ron Paul is very dangerous to the establishment and would not continue the policy of the political puppet show.

Ron Paul is polling very well, is very likely to win Iowa and New Hampshire and most polls show him as THE ONLY Republican candidate that could beat Obama in the general election.

It makes ZERO sense that Fox "News" is attacking him the way they are. Mainstream Media went from Ignore to Attack mode in a matter of days.

I completely disagree.

One thing that Fox News caters to is the hard right. The hard right HATES the left. They loathe the liberals.

If it were to come down to St. Hope and Change and Paul, FoxNews would endorse Paul.

As someone mentioned above, FoxNews might hate Paul, but they hate Obama worse, as does their audience. If Fox News wants to lose the majority of their viewers, then they would endorse "The One" but they won't do that. They will endorse Paul because he is running on the Republican ticket and again, the hard right HATES the left.

Fox News would endorse Obama no matter who wins the nomination. He's the best thing to happen to them in years. They should start their programming day praising him for every second he exists since without him they'd have nothing.

Rupert Murdoch wouldn't endorse Ron Paul. Looks like FOX news is jumping the GOP bandwagon and flipping sides! Too funny.
