FOX News: Notice Something Missing?

So, Ron Paul has come in a (distant) second place in Nevada caucuses. I was watching the results from the moment they started reporting them this afternoon. After the first 30 minutes or so, Ron Paul passed McCain to take second place, and kept building his lead through the rest of the day. Even then, at the very beginning, Ron Paul was only a few votes behind McCain.

Keep that in mind as you look at the following screen capture of FOX’s coverage today (which notes that <1% of the precincts were reporting):

Hmmm. Have we maybe left somebody out? I know obviously Romney was leading from the beginning and his lead increased throughout the day (and he did have an impressive showing), but come on …

Hat Tip: Third Party Watch (”We Omit; You Decide“)

Addendum: I will say in FOX’s defense (as much as it pains me to type that phrase) that it is entirely possible that they were discussing the performance of the three frontrunners in the GOP race, and those three are undeniably Romney, McCain, and Huckabee. That would be one potential explanation for why those three are listed in the “main” part of the graphic while the bottom does show Paul and his showing thus far. That being said, this is the network that has been known for ignoring and slighting Paul throughout the campaign.
