Once again via TPM, we see that even the New Hampshire Republican Party has called upon “all media organizations planning pre-primary debates or forums” - which would presumably include Fox News - to “include all recognized major candidates in their events.”

Says Josh:

So, it’s all about Fox News. Paul’s out because he’s not a Fox News Bush-clone. Say whatever you want about the guy, Fox News shouldn’t be able to silence him because they don’t like his views.

Or as Andrew Sullivan notes:

But then ABC isn’t actively trying to destroy Ron Paul’s candidacy in order to protect its viewers from the crazy notion that not all conservatives want to occupy Iraq for ever. Fox News has been trying that for a long time.

This really does seem like something new under the sun. I know there are folks who have blasted LNP’s coverage of politics in terms of how we’ve treated past commissioners Henderson or Shellenberger. But imagine if this organization had held a debate, invited all the other candidates - except this one or that. In other words, the difference between reporting on candidates - reportage that some might call biased - versus just acing out the candidate completely.
