TAKE ACTION: Ron Paul excluded from Fox News candidate forum
Heh... whaddya know, there won't be a debate after all. Here's the scoop:

Seems some folks didn't do their fact-checking before sending the story out over AP newswire. The debate was cancelled a month ago because of an ABC news debate happening instead on January 5th (where Dr Paul will be attending along with the rest). Worse, Ron Paul's group heard about this the same way the rest of us did, and tried several times, unsuccessfully to contact Fox News about it. Since it had already started blazing through the blogosphere, they went ahead and sent out their own press release, further fanning the flames.
Well, anyway, I've taken down my own article, and hopefully a few other bloggers will do the same as the truth finally catches up to the rumor.
I had no idea a false news story could spread so quickly like this! And here I was a part of it! Sheesh!
You might want to hold off on retracting your article ... it seems that the Nolan Chart article is at the least questionable:

At the very least, there's a lot of confusion about what's going on right now.
I'm tempted to believe that the Nolan Chart article is wrong, since from what I've read on The Daily Paul indicates that at least one person has been in direct contact with the NH GOP, and they've not yet told her that the event was cancelled.
