I can't stand that guy who she just asked about Ron Paul. I can't stand people that state opinions as facts, and make up facts as well.

He's not effecting the debate because Mitt Romney hasn't changed his position? Who cares what Mitt Romney thinks. The debate is about changing our minds not the other candidates. It's this kind of mis-logic that makes me sick. I can't believe so many people fall for it. They do it over and over and over- 10 things in 2 minutes all misstated lies. It's unreal.

They're trying to make him look like a Truther. He's doing great, though.

To clarify: She asked a submitted question that asked, "Do you believe 9/11 was an inside job?"

He said, "If by inside job you mean the government did it and planned it, then no." (paraphrase)

She keeps bringing up Alex Jones and asking why Ron associates with him. Commercial break... then back to Ron!!

She'll ask the question about why he associates with Jones when it comes back.

Yes, I know that a “dark horse” is an unexpectedly successful candidate, but "dark horse" does have a rather negative connotation at face value, and I bet a lot of people took it to mean “outsider” or “long shot.” It just sounds like it’s negative, you know? I betcha when she said “dark horse” she didn’t intend for it to be completely positive. I mean, she thought the debate was in Ohio! Ha! But yeah, sorry I was unclear.

PennCustom4RP
08-05-2007, 05:34 PM
Oh I don't know that Cameron was playing him down, other than his stating that RP is only a 'blip' in the polls... but 2 or 3% is a blip. We can only hope for more as time goes on. He did state that RP has substantial following, that he disagrees in what the other GOP runners say, that is making noise in the race. Darkhorse brings attention, better than the same ol’ same. All of these things are good...I thought it a fair assessment.

Now as to the interview...I thought it unfortunate that the 1st viewer email about 911 truth was the one 1st aired, but RP handled this well and truthfully...

As with all the issues questions, I thought he did an awesome job, and I also felt that Julie Banderas did well not to try and slag him, even with the Alex Jones association...
This type of interview is what we hope for, allow him to state his positions and solutions....just as the other candidates do.
The last word in closing of show was a viewer email stating RP was the one to watch and that he was great…this could’ve been easily omitted by Banderas and not aired, but it wasn’t. And all this was on MSM, and Foxnews of all networks…this is excellent.

I don't think it was a hit piece. I think it was honest interview (god, what is the world coming to when Fox gives a decent interview).

I don't think the Alex Jones stuff was a trap, I think it was a chance for him to clear the air on that issue.

The other questions were all softball, fox news fans type issues that RP does really well with (gun rights, immigration, etc)

richard1984
08-05-2007, 05:42 PM
I thought that all-in-all it was a pretty positive interview (because Ron Paul is awesome!). The interviewer (I've forgotten her name) just kinda acted like she was in a bad mood. She probably didn't expect to get such satisfactory responses to her "drilling," but then she hasn't interviewed Ron Paul before has she? By the end, though, she seemed to be pleased with how things went and she was nice.

Heck, the interview got my girlfriend's mom to say that she "really like[s] Ron Paul." That's progress!

yup. I think that the Alex Jones questions were an attempt to trap him--it was her "hard question"--but, of course, Ron Paul passed with flying colors. If he hadn't given a satisfactory answer the interview probably wouldn't have turned out so well.

This is really feeling like a big deal. I think that today turned out FAR better for Ron Paul than we anticipated. After that debate this morning I wasn't too excited. But things have turned out great!

The 9/11 truther questions right out of the gate ... probably a lot (a majority?) of Fox viewers have heard this association before, so as soon as they heard the questions, they zoned their brains and paid no attention to anything else Ron said.

Which I suspect is why those questions were the first ones...

They're keeping him associated with the truther movement for a reason.

I don't think this is true. It seemed more like she was just letting him clear the air.

Maybe, and this is a big maybe, Fox realises they have a republican people are excited about. Maybe they realise, like RP said, that he is bringing new blood into the party. The fact is if RP doesn't get the nomination all these people will leave in droves.

He outFOXED FOX News! He was absolutely brilliant.

They don't get it. They can't trip him up, because he doesn't massage his message to influence polls, and he speaks the truth. When you speak the truth, your message doesn't vary.

Typical Fox News tactics--not that I think she personally is trying to get Ron Paul to look like a nutjob but in general I think it's Fox News' objective is to do so and all its employees are aware of that--but in this case it worked very well in the Doctor's favor because he got to clear up a few things, and dammit he just gave a good interview!

In all seriousness, I disagree. I think that you're being a little too cynical (though I can relate...I'm usually too cynical, too).

I think that the questions were first as a set-up. If he hadn't given such an agreeable, honest, straightforward answer, it would have been over. There wouldn't have been an interview--just a bitching. But Ron Paul rules, and she settled down after her encounter with his glory (;) ).
But yeah, I think what we have here in this interview is that rare, rare thing on Fox News--an interview in which the tone was controlled by the interviewee, not the interviewer. Who else can take a Fox News interview that set out to be a negative hit piece, and flip it on them so that it turns out positive?
I'm not wording this very well, but you know what I mean? Ron Paul is the only person I've ever seen who can turn an enemy into an ally with such ease and efficiency.

You think they don't already know how he is going to answer? They've tried before and it hasn't worked. They added the question of why he associates with AJ which I think is a fair question. People on this forum ask the same question all the time. I'll say it again - This seemed like an oppertunity to let him clear the air.

Yes, That Julie chick was fine, but you should never tell a woman that. It gives away your power to them and diminished you in their eyes.

The problem with so many chicks today is that they know that we covet them. So they become difficult and bust our balls.

That being said, I thought this chick did an awesome interview. The sense I git was that she was tryiing to help Ron...a few tough questions...but they were straight fastballs as oppossed to tricky curveballs or spitballs...

Kudo to Ron Paul for not throwing his 9/11 truther friends under the bus. He stated that he did not agree, but he didnt go out of his way (as some in this forum do) to trash us.

(9/11 truthers Alex Jones and Aaron Russo are on excellent terms with RP)

Nothing that RP couldnt handle..

I'm not wording this very well, but you know what I mean? Ron Paul is the only person I've ever seen who can turn an enemy into an ally with such ease and efficiency.

I don't think it's cynical to believe Fox is trying to keep RP associated with the truther movement - I think it's all they can find to use, and I think it is probably effective with their typical viewer.

I thought RP did a great job, as usual.

It was great that Ron put an end to the Truther affiliation argument himself right there on FoxNews for all to see.

I'm sick of hearing the Michelle Malkin's all over this station affiliating Ron to the 9/11 conspiracy movement. I think he ended it once and for all, on THEIR station.

Agreed. This might be the first time he's had a chance on a major network to shoot down those smears.

Richard, think you hit the nail right on the head. It doesn't matter what they try to do to him, he will prevail. And, through it all, he comes across as LIKABLE. Can you say that about many of the other candidates--on either side?

I can't think of any other politician that I can say that about. I have a deep distrust of politicians in general. But Ron Paul is genuine--he’s the real deal. And I can't think of anyone who is more down-to-earth than Dr. Paul (at least in philosophy). He's a person of heroic proportions.

Honestly. If I had to pick someone as my hero, it would be Ron Paul. (In fact, maybe I'll just go ahead and add that to my signature.)

Just as I predicted they tried to paint him as a truther. The interviewer was telling him to keep his answers short so they could get a lot of questions in, and then she would ask a 30 second question! Ron got less time to reply than the time the question took to ask. Ron did a great job though.

I like how the person who posed the question prefaced it with something like, "Without a lot of bloviating, do you think 9/11 was an inside job" And the answer he got was bloviation-free as requested. No.

I was referring specifically to the "so as soon as they heard the questions, they zoned their brains and paid no attention to anything else Ron said" comment. Not the rest of it. I just think that a lot of people probably heard Ron Paul for the first time. And I'm pumped! :D

I thought it was a great interview... Ron Paul did a great job.

I'm glad he was able to address the aqusations about him being a "Truther" and him being a guest on the Alex Jones show.

I don't think it was a hit piece. I think it was honest interview (god, what is the world coming to when Fox gives a decent interview).

I don't think the Alex Jones stuff was a trap, I think it was a chance for him to clear the air on that issue.

The other questions were all softball, fox news fans type issues that RP does really well with (gun rights, immigration, etc)


I agree. I thought it was a great interview and a great opportunity for Ron Paul to clear the air concerning the whole "9/11 Truth" issue.

I was also glad to hear him explain more thoroughly his comments made on the Alex Jones show concerning a staged terrorist attack.

Nah. It got it out of the way early!

I thought by her demeanor that she was simply getting it out of the way. Overall, I thought she was very fair (still watching - part 2).

I LOVED the interview, it allowed him to clear up the misconception that he is a "truther", and that the government is planning a staged attack. I thought it was one of his best yet.

That was an INCREDIBLE interview. He was able to go on the station and clear the air about his positions of 9/11 truth movement and his answers on the second amendment, war in Iraq and Social Security were perfect. She was pleasant and let him talk without cutting him off or talking over him or arguing with him. He got ten minutes at a peak time on a major and expensive station for free. To buy 15 thirty second commercials cost nearly $600 just to cover my mid sized Florida County. He got over 10 minutes across the United States for free. How much value is that!

absolutely awesome!!!

right, this is very unusual, they allowed him to respond to and clarify a mis-conception that was originally created by them! They even gave him a commercial break to think about his answer!

is Rupert taking a liking to Ron Paul? :)

here is the email is sent to yourcomments@foxnews.com

Thank you for interviewing Congressman Ron Paul on the Big Story this afternoon. I am glad Julie Banderas gave him an opportunity to clarify that he does NOT believe in a 9/11 conspiracy. As a young conservative I am very excited about the opportunity to vote for such an outstanding candidate in the GOP primary. It would serve your station well to have Ron Paul on your programs more often. His stance on the traditional conservative issues is in line with many Fox News viewers. Ron Paul may be the best hope to see a conservative in the White House in 2009. Thanks again for the great interview!

Thanks for posting this njandrewg!

While I don't think Fox or Ms. Banderas were looking to do RP any favors, he was given time to answer questions/explain his positions, so that was good.

Overall, a good interview, and RP handled things well. :)

I have to say that the good Dr. may have lost the debate? I did not think he did that well even though all of us voted for him in the polls I can't say he honestly won it..

When he went on "The Big Story" he was absolutely great and I am sure he converted many who watched to join the RP revolution! The debate only had the die hard political watchers viewing it and The Big Story had a very huge and wide audience..

Get ready to have a big boost from this in our revolution army.. should = big bucks in the war chest for the good Dr. also!

I feel very good about yesterday and hope to see more days like that!:D

Awesome appearance!

Edit: I should clarify, I thought Ron Paul was awesome, but not the interviewer. The questions asked by the interviewer were almost entirely intended to trip him up and the interviewer repeatedly spoke over Dr. Paul's responses: "ok, ok, alright, ok, ok ok." Should she be allowed to ask those questions? Of course, there's nothing wrong with asking those sorts of questions, but they were clearly all intended to put him on the defensive, which of course, he overcame with ease.

As for her being a "fair" interviewer, I'd say she was fair insofar as she wasn't beligerant and allowed Dr. Paul to answer the questions she asked, but I think she could do a lot better still.

When she did that she felt she'd already got the answer from Dr. Paul so she wanted to move on to other questions. For instance, he never got to talk about healthcare the whole day yesterday on national TV, unfortunately.
