Well, are you saying that there wasn't a mixed reaction to his winning? The correct footage shown by C-SPAN and CNN had audible boos, but as usual, the Mox News nutters insist that CNN also has an anti-Paul agenda and amplified the boos. I'd say Fox is way friendlier to the Pauls than is CNN as they give a lot of air time every day to Paul boosters like Andrew Napolitano and John Stossel, so... I dunno. Until a pattern of this sort of thing emerges, it seems more likely that they accidentally used the 2010 footage than that this constitutes cold, hard proof of Fox waging an anti-Paul campaign. It will be interesting to see if and how Fox responds, though.

Edit: Looks like they've responded.

Really?  So they also made the same mistake saying that the response was mixed in the tag line for YouTube they uploaded?  It is one thing to lead in with the wrong clip.  It is an entirely different thing to have the entire show spin on that.  There was a mix of cheers and boos, really?

Because there was no mistake about that. The response was mixed. When they announce the winner, look at how many people are cheering and how many are sitting on their hands. And while the cheers are louder, there are audible jeers similar to when Trump said this:

Except in the above instance it was the Paul fans who were jeering.

Here's the footage CNN used:

At 8 or 9 seconds in, you can clearly hear the jeers kick in. Do you seriously believe that CNN is amplifying the boos to fuck Paul over? And how effective would that really be? How many people would see either clip? Even if they have a desire to harm Paul, both CNN and Fox stand to lose so much more if they're busted for running a wrong clip or doctoring the right one than they would ever gain. Especially in Fox's case where their sister network, Fox Business, is all Ron Paul, all the time.
