After the ABC debate last night, I was watching the 10pm news on KMBC 9 in Kansas City (an ABC affiliate).
Kelly Eckerman was talking about the debate. Of course there was no mention of Ron Paul. Fine. But then she started discussing an online poll that KMBC had going (poll can be viewed here: http://www.kmbc.com/index.html toward the bottom left).
So she started announcing the results (I don't recall the exact numbers of Obama and Clinton, but they were low 20's):
Obama - 20%
Clinton - 20%
Edwards - 14%
Huckabee - 13%
Romney - 4%
McCain - 2%
Note that during this time, the pictures of the three Republicans were up on the screen (even while talking about the Dems). So I noted that this did not add up to 100% and jumped on the website. Sure enough, Ron Paul had 14%!
He was the first place Republican and tied with Edwards for third and they just excluded him. I understand that people might think online poll results are inaccurate, but I think it is blatantly fraudulent to manipulate and air the results based on your agenda.
Anyway, here is Kelly Eckerman's email address:

Please let me know if you have any ideas about how I can protest this. I'm open to suggestions (which are civil, obviously).
