This video got lots of views early on, and the views steadily increased, but I noticed the view count went up at a higher rate immediately following his show.

Now I can only imagine how much higher these views would have gone if Ron Paul had been treated like Michele Bachmann or Rick Perry.

It really doesn't matter whether he's telling the truth on this or not. There's a zillion incidents like this, exonerating himself on one clip doesn't mean much. Heck, even in that same the Jon Stewart video there's another clip of him ("I think that's fair")

And the fact that he acknowledges the unfair treatment means nothing either. They're apologizing because they got caught, because of Jon Stewart. They've been treating Ron unfairly since 2007. They have no credibility, period, and nothing they do is ever going to change that.

Stewart says they've been at this for weeks. More like 4 years!

Of course there's a couple people at FOX who deserve exemption from the above statement, like Neil Cavuto. But people like Carl Cameron, Bill O'reilly, etc, will never have any credibility with the Ron Paul crowd. Their viewers may be stupid enough to take their word that they'll cover the election fairly, but we sure as hell won't.
