Who REALLY “stacked the deck”???
It is MOST interesting, that in last nights FOX News debate, we saw a BRAND NEW and surprising phenomenon!
No, I am not speaking about the fact that Ron Paul WON the texting poll. Paul ALWAYS wins every post-debate poll, no matter the network sponsor. I am speaking about the fact, that for the FIRST time ever, in ANY of the presidential debates (including the last FOX debate), Paul was faced with a hostile audience. THIS is the NEW phenomenon, which smacks of audience sentiment-screening, because Paul has consistently had the largest applause lines in every other debate venue. SO . . .
. . . so, in response to Sean Hannity’s accusation that Ron Paul fans somehow “stacked the deck” of the UN-stackable FOX Poll, I ask the question, who is it that ACTUALLY stacked the deck in this so-called (but CLEARLY NOT) “Fair and Balanced” debate???
That is NOT hard to figure out. The audience WAS a stacked deck AGAINST Ron Paul. It is just one more step AWAY from objectivity, by the network branded with a self-mocking objectivity-implying slogan.
Is there HOPE for FOX News (I used to LOVE FOX–yes they DO have a great AUDIENCE as Paul suggested during the “Spin Room” interview, but MAYBE NOT FOR LONG)? That’s something, which FOX’s control-freak executives will have to decide. I can tell you ONE thing. If FOX doesn’t straighten up the UN-fair and BIASED routine toward Ron Paul, they can count me out, as a viewer, once this election cycle concludes! I urge ALL RON PAUL FANS to pledge the SAME. There have been good signs, occasionally, from SOME anchors, but unless the ‘bosses’ stop bullying all of their fair and balanced employees, FOX is headed for serious trouble.
AGAIN. . . Why the Question Mark???
