Fox News excludes Rand in head to head polling against Hillary Clinton

[VIDEODROME]

OP posted this better than I did in the other spin area, I just was so pissed when I saw the segments on Baier's special report and then looked into it further.

The whole point here was to show Rand at 7% and not have any evidence showing him so high against Hillary. Mission accomplished.

It drives me crazy that people like Baier or Chris Wallace can get to be debate moderators. How is it people who report the news get to make the leap to shaping the news or influencing the election. This feels like a conflict of interest but it's just accepted as normal.

Makes it seem silly that Huckabee makes a show of resigning from FOX if he is in a debate moderated by a FOX News anchor.

No way Team Rand lets this slide without going absolutely nuclear on the top brass at Fox any public or private pushback.

Zero: What happened?

M. Gustave: What happened, my dear Zero, is I beat the living shit out of a sniveling little runt called Pinky Bandinski, who had the gall to question my virility. Because, if there's one thing we've learned from penny dreadfuls, it's that when you find yourself in a place like this, you must never be a candy ass; you've got to prove yourself from day one. You've got to win their respect. You should take a long look at HIS ugly mug this morning. [Takes a sip of water and laughs] He's actually become a dear friend. You'll meet him, I hope.

That said, just in case they haven't seen it yet, folks with twitter account may want to tweet a link to the youtube to @DougStafford, @SergioGor and @VincentHarris and ask them if they plan to let this sort of hackery slide w/o comment. Heck, it may even be worth tweeting to @DaveWeigel and @OliviaNuzzie given how ridiculous the exclusion was.

Methodology says N =1,006 registered voters, 662 landlines . . .
now with some 300 cell phones to make it look better.
Remember how RP won every online call-in vote after debates, just to have Hannity pooh-pooh it off
as an aberration or anomaly, crying that we all have cell phones and computers to rig the polling?

And note that there is a suggestion that the number of calls were proportional to the state populations,
maybe a clever inference implying that EVERY state was included. Really . . . ?

Ahh, snowball making machines at the Ames Straw Poll on Saturday, August 8 sure sounds like good fun to keep things cool . . .
lobs from out in the crowd pelting that Cameron political reporter and others at Faux News while on camera ?

Don't mind me, I'm just over here warming up the snowball machine...

Did you listen to Hannity radio yesterday? Rand was on, and Hannity is still whining about the snowball incident (and was telling Rand that Ron Paul hurts him). Hannity has no class.

Watch CNN.

Uh-oh. RPF just tweeted this thread. Gonna make us look like a bunch of crybabies.

Einstein's definition of insanity comes to mind. Yeah, Hannity, keep pulling the same shenanigans while expecting different results.

Is Fox News playing “Hide Rand Paul” with their polls… again?

 

[freejack]

We should start posting this in the comments of all the fox news facebook posts. It'll probably take a few of us since they'll start banning us once they find out.

I needed to rant. http://rpaul2016.blogspot.com/2015/05/what-is-your-problem-fox-news.html

Everyone should go to theblaze.com and submit this article in the News Tips section at the very bottom of the page. I just submitted it.

The last Fox News poll conducted in April had Hillary 46 - 43 Rand, with Rand being the strongest GOP candidate against Hillary. Rand performing the strongest is also consistent with the other polls they did earlier this year. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/int...in-on-same-sex-marriage-legalizing-marijuana/ (see page 16)

I don't subscribe to many conspiracies, but with Hillary's favorability down in this newest poll, a national Rand lead over Hillary appears likely. Shame on Fox for either excluding him or omitting him from the results!

Criminals, imho.

Uh-oh. RPF just tweeted this thread. Gonna make us look like a bunch of crybabies.

Last time I checked, the candidate was not affiliated with this site.

What blows my mind is how people can be so blind not to see how slanted the coverage is in favor of Jeb Bush. Just like in the past with Romney and McCain.

I remember back in 1999 people saying they remember all too clearly how bad the economy was under Bush Senior, they or "I certainly will not vote for his son". That was until the media performed their daily social engineering for a few years and these same people end up with collective amnesia. Just like the collective amnesia over Romneycare and his individual mandate.

I think ultimately this go around FNC and media is largely campaigning in favor of a Jeb Bush/Rubio ticket. We can hope that with the internet and people waking up this go around that the media social engineering will fail.

If you haven't yet send this link to theblaze.com in their News Tips section at the very bottom of the main page. Let me know if you send it in. They may not post it but we should at least bring it to their attention as much as possible. It's better to try than to do nothing. There's also Drudge as well.

Irrelevant to my point.

Irrelevant to my point.

No, it's not.

The original complaint was about RAND not complaining about the missing poll results, and then someone said that the CAMPAIGN whining about such things would be seen a crybaby sour milk.

That is all true.

We are not the campaign. The grassroots complains about missing poll numbers it is not perceived in the same way at all.

Whether it is the campaign or merely Rand supporters, the crybaby argument could be made against either group. Ron Paul got smeared with the behavior of his supporters and vice versa.

Is the crybaby argument valid? I don't think so. What happened when Rand stood up to Evans, Guthrie, and Kelly for their unfair treatment? He got big support for defying the biased media. Same thing happened with Newt Gingrich in 2012. Republican voters can see the bias, even inside of Fox News.

What does "defeat the Washington machine" even mean when you play by their rules, and curl up into a ball when they pull their same old dirty tactics? You can't defeat the machine if you acquiesce to its propaganda arm.
