On Special Report with Brit Hume, they ran a presidential profile of the Doctor. In it, they replayed a clip of the Huckabee exchange and the Giuliani exchange, said he has a large internet following, and sticks to principle. But they opened the report by saying he doesn't have any fancy nicknames, and finished it with saying that while he won the Maryland straw poll, he got third in the straw poll of his home state of Texas.

They did a pretty good job of making it seem fair, but the spin at the opening and closing was pretty fucking obvious. It's not on YouTube yet, so hopefully someone will post it.

It was a decent profile. The overall tone was poor.
A first place near the DC area is just ok and a third in Texas is bad, he might as well said, Maryland has not yet decided and Texas hates him.

Anyone else gets first and its "leading the pack" get third and its "building
momentum!"


The sometimes very hard to pick up tone is what gets people build opinion.
