Top 10

Stuff they did to RP that they did to no one else

1. Didn't get as much time as romney and crew

2. Look where ron paul is on the stage. THAT IS NOT RANDOM. They put him on the very far left side so they can crop him out of the shot a lot of the times.

3. Moderators misquoted rp

4. Moderators, instead of asking his position, insinuated he had a specific position (ArE yOu SugGeStInG wE tAkE mArChinG oRdErS FrOm Al Queida??!?)

4. When asking Ron Paul the tougher questions, they made him answer a lot of those in a 30 second time frame

5. Laughed while RP was on stage.

6. When other candidates win polls, its legit, when Ron Paul wins polls, it's because of spammers:rolleyes:

7. Claimed Ron paul the loser, solely on a decibel reading of one group of people, instead of basing it on the polls of THE NATION.

8. most of RP's questions were loaded questions, other candidates were softballed the whole night (what is your view on family values, everyone but ron paul??!)

9. Left everyone's mic on when Ron Paul was talking, not the other way around

10. They purposely skipped RP on some of the better questions, like immigration. Only when he was backed into a corner on the other questions, was he given a chance to speak up.

Between Chris Wallace basically flat-out calling him an Al Qaeda sympathizer and Frank Luntz actually calling him "the loser", I'd say things are pretty much crooked from the start. They stacked all the cards and loaded all the dice. And when an honest person tries to bust FOX News' crap game, the House ALWAYS wins.

Yup, totally agree. WTF is with their little meter BS, they used a "focus"group, which was already biased.

They didn't make a fraudulent text-message poll, and they didn't hide the results.

(well they did on their website)

Fox actually has a lot of people on the inside, which they can't do anything about. If Fox was to try and pull something like that, good chance they would be exposed. There are a couple of people on the inside of that organization still..... they can't fake everything...

Did they split screen with anyone else? They put Ruuuuuuuudy's mug up twice when RP was talking.

7. Claimed Ron paul the loser, solely on a decibel reading of one group of people, instead of basing it on the polls of THE NATION. Actually it wasn't a dB meter it was a meter on a focus group consisting of moderates and conservatives. When the members of the focus group liked what they heard they turned the knob one way and vice versa. That's what the graph was measuring.

Yep, and we all got to see that godawful Rudy smirk.

I didn't get that at all....So when the numbers were high (say, 80), did that mean they were supporting their views or not supporting their views?

I didn't really appreciate the visual obstruction.

Its there way of telling people what to think.... If they show the veiwers at home, what looks like a really scientific reading of peoples thoughts... they could prove by reading people's thoughts with this machine... and prove that Huckabee won the exchange... yet, they didn't show the whole exchange, especially that last part!!!!!


Has anyone blogged about this yet?
