Fox
Snub Boosts Ron Paul
Fox News' decision to exclude Ron Paul from its
Sunday Republican forum is turning out to be the best thing that's

slash- populist. There's nothing like a snub from FNC to motivate
Paul's base, and he's making considerable hay challenging Fox's
conservative credentials. Paul's point: Fox is more pro-Bush
than conservative, a big difference. "This
just isn't kosher" - CBS News
