Why does Fox Noise refuse to cover true conservatives?

Question

Sean Hannity has become so intimidated and angered at Ron Paul for saying that Fox Noise is run by corporate criminals that Hannity has suggested Ron Paul being banned from ever being covered on Fox News, because he is angry Ron Paul got it right and he is angry that someone is finally speaking out against their BS and he refuses to ever cover Paul on his time slot. What's funny is Ron Paul is the only true conservative running for the Presidency and the rest are either liberal Republicans or corporate puppets or both.

Answer 1

Because a true conservative like Paul can appeal to both republicans and democrats. This is also true for a true liberal. And Fox News isn't concerned about a candidate that can appeal to both parties. Fox News wants a candidate that can only appeal to evangelical neo-conservatives.

Answer 2

In 1999, The Economist reported that Murdoch ( Fox News owner) had made £1.4 billion ($2.1 billion) in profits over the previous 11 years but had paid no net corporation tax. It further reported, after an examination of what was available of the accounts, that Murdoch would normally have expected to pay a corporate tax of approximately $350 million. The article explained that the corporation's complex structure, international scope and use of offshore havens allowed News Corporation to avoid tax[

Support the Troops = Not paying Tax = No money for weapons!!!!

The Right to Lie in the "News"
If ever we needed to know why the biggest media consumers in the world are so badly informed, this pretty well tells it all. The Media Can Legally Lie.
According to Akre and Wilson, the station was initially very excited about the series. But within a week, Fox executives and their attorneys wanted the reporters to use statements from Monsanto representatives that the reporters knew were false and to make other revisions to the story that were in direct conflict with the facts.
Fox editors then tried to force Akre and Wilson to continue to produce the distorted story. When they refused and threatened to report Fox's actions to the FCC, they were both fired.
Akre and Wilson sued the Fox station and on August 18, 2000, a Florida jury unanimously decided that Akre was wrongfully fired by Fox Television when she refused to broadcast (in the jury's words) “a false, distorted or slanted story” about the widespread use of BGH in dairy cows.
[...] FOX appealed the case, and on February 14, 2003 the Florida Second District Court of Appeals unanimously overturned the settlement awarded to Akre. The Court held that Akre’s threat to report the station’s actions to the FCC did not deserve protection under Florida’s whistle blower statute, because Florida’s whistle blower law states that an employer must violate an adopted “law, rule, or regulation."
In a stunningly narrow interpretation of FCC rules, the Florida Appeals court claimed that the FCC policy against falsification of the news does not rise to the level of a "law, rule, or regulation," it was simply a "policy." Therefore, it is up to the station whether or not it wants to report honestly.
During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves.
Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so.
OK, pick your jaw up off the floor. That some court thinks they CAN is bad enough, that these people assert their right to do so pretty well kicks it all down the hole. And these guys wonder why their credibility is in the toilet and the net is burning them left right and centre.
Oh, and February 2003, 30 days before Iraq.

Answer 3

Guess what? Sean Hannity doesn't control Fox news, and I am confident that they will continue to report Ron Paul.

Answer 4

Hannity is conservative. Working for s station Fox News, that is owned by a Hillary suporting Liberal, Rupert Murdoch.
Ron Paul got his 15 minutes of fame and is done. Hannity and Fox would be doing America a favor by ignoring this goof.
It's bad enough all the "Ron Paul Trolls" on Y/A. I just turn the channel if he comes on TV. Get over it. Paul is done!!!

Answer 5

You won't ever see Pat Buchanan or William Buckley (National Review, father of the conservative movement) on there either.

I think guys like Hannity turn down the intellectuals in favor of the dimwits, because they cannot stand being constantly outsmarted on their own show.

Answer 6

confused about many things ..ron paul gets the same from every media concern except yahoo answers..and maybe middle school newspapers

Liberals are praying for a Paul 3rd Party to triangulate the vote..funny thing is he is only popular among people too young to vote

Answer 7

So if he is the only true conservative does this mean that the claim that fox news is conservative is wrong. Fox isn't conservative there just not as liberal/socialist/communist as all the other main stream media outlets.

Answer 8

It's quite simple really. The folks at Fox News are just as liberal as the folks at NBC, ABC & CBS. Do a little research into the reporters and anchors political affiliations. You'll find that 90% of them are registered Democrats, just like any other network.

Answer 9

I want to see a link to a quote where hannity has said he wants anyone banned from any outlet.

Ron Paul is a Trojan Horse Liberal who has fooled some people into thinking he is conservative.

Answer 10

Ron Paul is not a conservative he is a self-serving libertarian-lite. No conservative would allow the attacks on 9/11 to go unpunished. Ron Paul would. I wish he would get out of the Republican party. He is an immoral phony and a conspiracy kook. I wish that young people would stop listening to his nonsense.
