I see there are taking lessons from FIXED News, not that I am surprised though.

it says November 2-6. Maybe Paul was still behind thompson then? The recent poll we have is the 8th-12th. Maybe cnn is just using old info.

That's really shameless. Thompson's name should not be appearing on a list of the top 5.

And yeah, those are the most recent numbers. Thompson fell from 10% to 5% in New Hampshire. CNN just decided to bump Paul from that list even though he has higher numbers than Thompson.

I am so sick of this polling bullshit. It's like the last weapon the establishment has to try and manipulate opinion and they are firing that piece of shit at us non-stop.

F*CK YOU FRANK!

CNN (Blitzer and Cafferty) has otherwise been good to us. I wonder what gives.

One thing is the stupidity of polling which is then reported on the media which then makes the polls even stupider which feeds back into the media...

But this? This adds a whole new layer of telling people what to think. How can they justify omitting a candidate entirely while including two people who ranked below him? Unbelievable.

That is unbelievable. We need to email them. The video is called Clinton stalls, Romney steady and it is on their video page.

Exactly. I can't even stand to watch the MSM, because of the way they ignore Ron Paul and the way they manipulate the masses with their biased polls, which they then use to promote certain candidates on and on. It makes me sick, and I REALLY hope that more people can see through it.

The problem is, not everyone is online, or at least not everyone is online as much as others. Especially older people.

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but we need to find a good way to reach people who aren't on the internet much, the people who get all their info from the talking heads of the MSM.

i watched this broadcast ealier today and he was on there! In addition, I always get a kick out of the sampling errors. That 5.5% error could be enough to put Dr. Paul in 3rd

Anyone thinking that the MSM is going to "do the right thing" is like a young schoolgirl trying to convince herself that the "hot" Don Juan is going to suddenly get eyes only for her.

ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN...

Get over it and MAKE OUR OWN DESTINY!!!

Let the "baghdad BOBs" keep on whoring cuz that's what they get paid so much for ...to turn tricks.

What ever happened to Baghdad Bob anyhow??? maybe that should be the fate of the CEO's.

That was on earlier today, but then about 15 minutes later they had a discussion about the polls in New Hampshire and showed the poll results again with Ron Paul included.

The media could also spin it, and say the 5.5% margin of error means Ron Paul could actually be at 0% (if he's polling at 5.5%).

So Thompson could actually be at -0.5%. :D

Yes yes, the sad truth is that polls shape public opinion, and not the other way around. Just one more tool in the toolbox.

Yah I think what is telling about this poll is that we saw it and realized that it was a sample of about only 600 people! Seriously we know their polling is crap, irrelevant and innaccurate!

Sampling error +/- 5.5 points? O.o

The Hell is with that screen? Paul was in the polling results when Blitzer and co. were going into their round table discussion yesterday, with a clear 7%
