Well what do you know, the picture of Perry's "confrontation" with Ron Paul is Fox's Pic of the Day.... only it's conveniently cut off to not show Perry physically grabbing Ron's wrist. If this isn't proof that Fox is in the tank for Perry, I don't know what is. This distorting of the picture on the part of Fox to make Perry look great is even worse than what Perry did in the first place, in my opinion. Disgusting.

EDIT: Not only is this downright disingenuous on the part of Fox, but it's also bad journalism. The first thing you learn in any photo journalism class is to NEVER MESS WITH A PICTURE if it changes its entire meaning, like it does here. Now it only looks like Perry is gently but courageously "putting Ron in line" which will be sure to please Fox viewers. Except the truth is that Perry physically violated and bullied Ron Paul, which the original picture clearly shows.

Fox, and the entire news-core media, are hell-bent on making this a two-man race, as quickly as possible.

Infuriating, but not unexpected.

I think I'm going to be taking some time away from politics soon before I have a stroke.

[ItsTime]

Comment the heck out of it.

That's just great, because Palin and Bachmann supporters will mostly go to Ron Paul when they drop out.

Not before they give 1% Huntsman plenty of time to brown nose for the Sec of State job.

Just updated the op to show the side by side comparison. Clear as day.

Wow, should I be more shocked that this doesn't shock me rather than being shocked that Fox would do this? What a sad sad act on Fox news' part.

They've changed the caption. It now says:


At the September 7 Republican debate, Ron Paul clashed with fellow Texan Rick Perry once again.

This time, things got physical.

During a commercial break, Perry walked up to Paul's podium, physically grabbed Paul's wrist, and pointed at Paul's face with his other hand.

FOX got a FAX and opted not to be FAUX??? --- FINALLY!!!

my comment
bottom line Ron Paul won the debate hands down,
If the gop does not nominate Ron Paul 2012. Then the gop might as well run obama/romney or perry/gore 2012 bendover!! romney,perry,bachmann are obama big government establishment status quo!!! Ron Paul 2012 Restore America Now get involved, reg republican ,go to your caucus or vote, if your a dem or indy,get involved now fb blue republican. If you do not get involved asap. Then america deserves obama/bush 2012 bendover no thank you!!!! Ron Paul 2012

The comments! I knew the neoclowns would have massive hard-ons over that pic. There is nothing they love more than a bully.

Bright side: Fox says things "got physical" and the caption reads:
