Though he had appeared as a guest commentator before, it appears that shortly after Obama's inauguration and right after Karl Rove scored a contract with Fox, the invitations stopped coming-- at Rove's request.
When I broke the story this June that Doug Wead had finally severed all ties to the establishment completely and joined the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, a few Doubting Thomases in discussion threads (e.g. at The Daily Paul) tried to call my "bluff" and claim that the news couldn't be trusted because I didn't name my source (which is pretty standard in journalism, if you want to crack open a newspaper to see).
Well the minute Ron Paul's second quarter FEC filings went public a little over a week later, the campaign confirmed what I'd already reported with both Doug Wead's consulting firm and Doug Wead himself listed as payees under second quarter disbursements. Now either I'm psychic or my source was credible. Either way you can trust me. (Though I'd love for Fox News to prove me wrong by having Doug back on their show.)
And you can trust me this time also, when I report that Doug Wead has been blacklisted from Fox and Friends because Karl Rove said so. Any Ron Paul supporters who have been hitherto doubting Wead's bona fides as committed to liberty and to Ron Paul's success, can take this as a message from the establishment Bush camp: they don't like what he's doing.
