Fox News is hosting a Republican presidential debate tomorrow. Ron Paul is not invited.
Is it because Ron Paul is just too unimportant to include?
Let’s see …

And now even the New Hampshire Republican Party is crying foul over Fox’s exclusion of Paul.
Is this gross abuse of mass media power or does Fox have the right to exclude candidates from their debate as they see fit?
Right before the New Hampshire primary this does take a significant opportunity away from Paul. Make no mistake - not giving Paul this opportunity affects his campaign.
The Republican Party is no longer affiliating itself with it, but it’s still going ahead.
Should Fox be yanked of its privilege to host the debate?
Should the other candidates pull themselves out on principle?
Is this a matter of letting Fox have the freedom to include who they want, or a matter of giving Paul the freedom to have equal access to voters?
