Fox News excludes Rand in head to head polling against Hillary Clinton

[Brett85]

It's on page 20. They polled just about every other Republican verses Clinton, including candidates who aren't polling high at all such as Fiorina and John Kasich. This is outrageous but to be expected. Rand did the best against Hillary in their poll last time, so they had to exclude him this time. We're just going to have to expect more of this throughout the entire campaign.

what a joke. CNN covers Rand the best.

[adelina]

I have a slightly different take on this. I actually think "Rand vs Hillary" was polled. But the question + results were deliberately excluded from the published report because it was too favorable to Rand. I think that had the results shown Rand was losing ground to Hillary, Fox would have included it in their published report.

[alucard13mm]

And some here still see rand as the bad guy... if he was the bad guy, media would portray him favorably.

[14lbenson]

He will be on the Kelly File in a couple minutes...

[GunnyFreedom]

of course they did.

[FSP-Rebel]

OP posted this better than I did in the other spin area, I just was so pissed when I saw the segments on Baier's special report and then looked into it further.

The whole point here was to show Rand at 7% and not have any evidence showing him so high against Hillary. Mission accomplished.

[georgiaboy]

He mentioned his polling best v Hillary when he was on with Wolf. Different poll, but still it's good he's doing this.

Keep pushing this, Rand! Fox's omission of you is BS!!!

[hells_unicorn]

Yes, they do that, they ALWAYS do that!

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Well, why doesn't his campaign get on them and expose the bias?

Because it would make them look like crybabies and come out of it even worse.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

So we're crybabies, too, I guess. Pointing out facts invites infantile insults in today's political world.

[Brett85]

I just sent an email to Fox News expressing my displeasure. I would encourage everyone here to do the same. Fox's email address is yourcomments@foxnews.com.

Yes, this is the nature of politics.

[GunnyFreedom]

Yes, this is the nature of politics.

unfortunately it is. The people that get elected usually have the maturity of a 2 year old, and most of their supporters...well, the ones who would pass a Turing test....might have the mentality of an 8 year old.

There are some shows on MSNBC that portray Rand pretty favorably. What is your expert media analysis on that?

[devil21]

Don't mind me, I'm just over here warming up the snowball machine...

I read something a few months ago about MSNBCs ratings and cancelling of shows and rearranging, anyway, they stated straight out that they were going to go to a more.... 'The goal is to move away from left-wing TV.'

So it was discussed on Special Neocon Report? No surprise that they would exclude Rand.

Scared?

It drives me crazy that people like Baier or Chris Wallace can get to be debate moderators. How is it people who report the news get to make the leap to shaping the news or influencing the election. This feels like a conflict of interest but it's just accepted as normal.

Makes it seem silly that Huckabee makes a show of resigning from FOX if he is in a debate moderated by a FOX News anchor.

No way Team Rand lets this slide without going absolutely nuclear on the top brass at Fox any public or private pushback.

Zero: What happened?

M. Gustave: What happened, my dear Zero, is I beat the living $#@! out of a sniveling little runt called Pinky Bandinski, who had the gall to question my virility. Because, if there's one thing we've learned from penny dreadfuls, it's that when you find yourself in a place like this, you must never be a candy ass; you've got to prove yourself from day one. You've got to win their respect. You should take a long look at HIS ugly mug this morning. [Takes a sip of water and laughs] He's actually become a dear friend. You'll meet him, I hope.

That said, just in case they haven't seen it yet, folks with twitter account may want to tweet a link to the youtube to @DougStafford, @SergioGor and @VincentHarris and ask them if they plan to let this sort of hackery slide w/o comment. Heck, it may even be worth tweeting to @DaveWeigel and @OliviaNuzzie given how ridiculous the exclusion was.

Methodology says N =1,006 registered voters, 662 landlines . . .
now with some 300 cell phones to make it look better.
Remember how RP won every online call-in vote after debates, just to have Hannity pooh-pooh it off
as an aberration or anomaly, crying that we all have cell phones and computers to rig the polling?

And note that there is a suggestion that the number of calls were proportional to the state populations,
maybe a clever inference implying that EVERY state was included. Really . . . ?

Ahh, snowball making machines at the Ames Straw Poll on Saturday, August 8 sure sounds like good fun to keep things cool . . .
lobs from out in the crowd pelting that Cameron political reporter and others at Faux News while on camera ?

Did you listen to Hannity radio yesterday? Rand was on, and Hannity is still whining about the snowball incident (and was telling Rand that Ron Paul hurts him). Hannity has no class.

[14lbenson]

Watch CNN.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Uh-oh. RPF just tweeted this thread. Gonna make us look like a bunch of crybabies.

Einstein's definition of insanity comes to mind. Yeah, Hannity, keep pulling the same shenanigans while expecting different results.

[LatinsforPaul]

Is Fox News playing “Hide Rand Paul” with their polls… again?

[freejack]

We should start posting this in the comments of all the fox news facebook posts. It'll probably take a few of us since they'll start banning us once they find out.

[14lbenson]

I needed to rant. http://rpaul2016.blogspot.com/2015/0...-fox-news.html
