Fox Bars Candidates From Using Its Images
By Marc Santora
The Fox News Channel sent notices to the campaigns of the leading Republican presidential candidates ordering them to stop using images from their Fox appearances in their campaign ads. The notices were sent out after the network was criticized for singling out only Senator John McCain�s campaign in barring use of the images.
Earlier in the week, Fox had demanded that the McCain campaign cancel an advertisement that prominently featured his performance in a debate Sunday night that Fox News had sponsored. The advertisement featured a video clip of Mr. McCain�s shot at Senator Hillary Clinton for pushing a $1 million earmark for a museum commemorating the Woodstock festival in 1969, ending with the biting observation that he was �tied up� during the concert. Mr. McCain was in a North Vietnamese prison at the time.
Earlier tonight, the Web site Talking Points Memo pointed out that the campaigns of Mr. McCain�s rivals, specifically Rudolph W. Giuliani and Mitt Romney, made liberal use of footage from Fox images to promote their candidates, but had not been told to remove the images.
�Our legal team has been alerted and there will be cease and desist orders,� said a Fox spokesperson.
Rival campaigns have privately suggested that they believe Fox unfairly skews its coverage in Mr. Giuliani�s favor, citing his long history with Roger Ailes, who runs the cable outlet. Mr. Ailes, a former Republican operative, worked as a media consultant on Mr. Giuliani�s first, failed bid for mayor of New York City in 1989 and the two have remained close ever since.
Mr. McCain, appearing on Fox immediately after Sunday�s debate, even joked with one of the hosts, Sean Hannity, about what he saw as his obvious support for Mr. Giuliani, without mentioning his rival by name. Mr. Hannity, who is the host of one of the most popular shows on the channel, begged off the assertion, saying he does not support any particular candidate |
whisper....and can't believe the New York Times ACTUALLY wrote about it! |

Not really a fan of that guy.
So, your point is..............what?
Ron Paul was on Fox News. OK. Well he has been on Bill Maher as well. And, lets not forget John Kerry and Bill Clinton appearing on the Daily Show. Oh, and how abou CNN actually going on the campaign trail AND working with the Kerry 2004 campaign?
