Fox’s The Five Slams Ron Paul Over FEMA Position (And Seemingly Everything Else)
The Five‘s Dana Perino promised today that they were going to “fix” the problem most often cited by Ron Paul and his supporters; that he was being ignored by the media. However, while the show did dedicate an entire segment to the Congressman, it’s probably not the kind of media coverage he or his fans intended as the tenure of the piece was resoundingly negative from all each of the titular five hosts.
Using Paul’s anti-FEMA quotes from this past weekend as a starting point, the panel discussed a number of his policies, finding little positive to say about any of them. Bob Beckel claimed it would be better to “do away Ron Paul” than FEMA. Eric Bolling reputed Paul’s support of a return to a gold standard and called his foreign policy views “extreme” and ones that “fell apart” when inspected. Kimberly Guilfoyle said flatly that she didn’t think he could win the nomination.
The only comments that came close to positive were some backhanded compliments from Perino and fellow-libertarian Greg Gutfeld. Perino said “at least” Paul had the courage of his convictions while Gutfeld admitted he agreed with most of what the candidate said but that, when he looked at him, he just wasn’t his “guy.”
Huh. Maybe Paul would be better off if some in the media kept forgetting he existed.
