I have previously posted on Fox News not inviting Ron Paul to its New Hampshire Forum. Now the New Hampshire GOP withdraws its support:
Following a week of controversy over Fox News' decision to exclude Rep. Ron Paul from a nationally televised forum of GOP candidates two days before the New Hampshire primary, the state Republican Party announced today "with regret" it had withdrawn its co-sponsorship of the event.
In a press release, New Hampshire Republican Party chairman Fergus Cullen said, "We believe all recognized major candidates should have an equal opportunity to participate in pre-primary debates and forums. This principle applies to tonight's debates on ABC as well as Sunday's planned forum on FOX.
"The New Hampshire Republican Party believes Congressmen Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter should be included in the FOX forum on Sunday evening. Our mutual efforts to resolve this difference have failed.
"While we understand that FOX News continues to move forward it is with regret, the New Hampshire Republican Party hereby withdraws as a partner in this forum."
