One of the really notable things about last night's debate was that Ron Paul didn't get a question until some 20 or 30 minutes into the program, and after that he received fewer questions and fewer opportunities for rejoinder than any of the other candidates, including no-hopers Brownback and Hunter. That was my impression, at least, and I know that several other bloggers have picked up on the disparity of coverage.
Well, now there's a report here which claims to show a general pattern of Fox downplaying Ron Paul. All of this is surprising only in that it is so blatant. While we should expect "frontrunners" to gain the most coverage, Paul, notably, has been involved in the episodes that his supporters and opponents alike agree have been the most illuminating in the last two Fox debates: his duels with Giuliani and Huckabee. But Fox chooses not to follow up on this news interest.
