Be articulate.

Dear MSNBC,

Fuck you.

Dear MSNBC,

Fuck you.

Ok yeah, I just edited that out of the original post. Just speak from the heart.

MSNBC chose Romney to win the debate. He was after all the Governor of Liberal Massechussets and incase you haven't watched MSNBC you should know that it is very Democrat/liberal leaning.

Ridiculous. Especially when you consider that Paul came in second in Nevada and LA, he is the top fundraiser, and he has beaten Guiliani, what... 5 times now? Yet Guiliani gets more airtime?

I was so mad watching the debate at how they were so blatantly excluding him.

I hope it backfires.

I wonder how much his airtime cost ROMNEY per second...
probably $1000 per second
oh yeah, the scripted whisper was an additional $1000000

Paul got half the speaking time of 2nd-to-last. Ridiculous.

Percentages of total:

Romney: 30.385%
McCain: 22.950%
Giuliani: 19.842%
Huckabee: 17.475%
Paul: 9.347%

Are you really surprised?

You all know the press is biased against Ron Paul's Presidency.

Ron Paul is pro-America, they are not!

Interestingly these are numbers from an MSNBC blogger (see link in original post). Regardless, there is no way it will become a news story on their network that Ron was blackballed. They're not going to intentionally and blatantly shaft him and then report on it. And who else will? Fox?

A question...

How do these numbers compare with recent polling in Florida?

Can MSNBC dodge all our accusations by saying they gave them all "fair" time approximately in proportion to their polling numbers?

This chart suggests that McCain and Romney have been climbing, Giuliani falling, but they're still all pretty much bunched together at 20 to 25 per-cent.

Huck's somewhat lower, while Ron's bumping along with numbers a bit more than a third of Huck's.

I almost hate to raise this issue, because it's such a contrived standard to use, blatantly designed to reinforce their manipulations, but it's probably the excuse they'll use. <sigh>

I seriously don't get why they kept going to McCain. It was basically Candidate - McCain - Candidate - Candidate - McCain Rebuttal - McCain - Commercial - McCain - Candidate - McCain

They don't even make a pretense of being fair anymore. It is time to boycott sponsors.
