Fox news should not be allowed by the RNC to host the debates - or at least determine the criteria for debate inclusion themselves, when they are so biased against one candidate.
1) Giving Rand the least amount of coverage and mentions compared to both polling, ground game, and fundraising.
2) Leaving him out of polls, listing him lower than other candidates when he's polling above them, changing his name or picture to one of the other candidates. All of these things have happened several times.
3) Giving him the least amount of speaking time at the previous debate they hosted
4) Setting the debate criteria two times in a row so that he is the highest polling candidate to be omitted.
5) Selecting neocon figures (people from the Cheney-gang or people like Mike Rogers) to explain how the candidates did after the debates, people who they already know dislike Rand, and would never give him ANY credit even if Rand dominated the discussion.
Is there any wonder that Rand isn't doing that great with the +65 fox viewer demographic!? They must either think that he's out of the race or polling abysmally at 0-1%. And if they have heard anything about him in the last 6 months, it's either that he is ready to withdraw from the presidential race, or that his policies are dangerous and that he would not protect them against ISIS.

Awesome! Good for him for fighting back.
Fighting back? Does anyone have a quote on Rand for calling out Fox news for what they have done to him and his father?
I felt that that's what Rand was doing by calling attention to this. What's he supposed to do? Call them all bastards?
Yeah, I'm not sure how he's supposed to fight.
I get the impression that some people want him to go all Trumpish, but that isn't Rand.
And recall he got the business for "shushing." So anything he does could possibly backfire.
And FUCK FOX.

Does this sort of crap really even matter at this point? Does Fox think it changes anything? Unless Fox is prepared to literally fudge every last image like the OP's from now till Iowa and go 100%-lie-all-the-time about polling, I'm not sure it matters if they mess with an image here and there. Definitely nice for motivation though!

Half the old people who watch Fox don't even know Rand is still running, so, yeah, it is kind of a big deal.
They arent caucusing for Rand regardless.

Wow!! How do I take back neg rep?? I went to post a +rep with the comment "Good!" and the window disappeared and when it came back the comment was still there and I pressed "leave reputation" and didn't notice that somehow it had changed from + to -...
Sorry man...

I know more old people who know who Rand is than young. Old people are afraid of Libertarians including Rand since they fear he will touch their Social Security or Medicare. This is something young people are not even thinking about, figure it is so far off it is not an issue for them or want to opt out. An old person is not going to opt out of something they paid their entire life into.
i hooked him up for you
