More Poop Scoop on the Exclusion of Duncan Hunter
Well, we get home today and find more evidence of Fox News intentionally excluding candidates they don’t like.
It seems that Fox uses Real Clear Politics poll numbers to determine who meets their 5% threshold. So, what’s the problem with that, you ask? It seems that RCP doesn’t include Hunter in their polling, so there’s no way in heck that he could poll above 5%!
OK, Duncan Hunter paid his $25K to the SCGOP to be on the ballot. Why isn’t he included in the RCP poll? COLLUSION. The SCGOP, Fox News, and RCP have fallen under the spell of TTS and it’s wizard Warren Tompkins. The dirty trickster is up to no good!
Like we said in our previous post: THE FIX IS IN! We smells a rat wearing cheap cologne and smelling of Thunderbird. Welcome to SC politics 101.
Watch for more as this story develops…

I found out that Fox News is drawing their poll data from Real Clear Politics. That is how they have decided to exclude Duncan Hunter from their debates. According to RCP, he doesn’t exist. He is nowhere in their polling data – they are not even tracking him! We need to mobilize people to contact Fox News and RCP both. My letter to RCP is below (including the contact emails for the folks at RCP).

To the staff of RCP:
I have noticed that in NONE of your polls and poll coverage do you include Duncan Hunter. Worse, Fox News draws their poll data from yours and places it front and center on their Politics Page. You cannot cut Duncan Hunter. He is a campaigning, viable candidate, in good standing, who has paid his dues to be on the ballot in each state, and you are SKEWING the polls by not including him. Fox News is relying on your data to include or exclude candidate from debates, and therefore no one sees Duncan Hunter at all. You have effectively erased him from this campaign.
That is neither ethical nor faithful to the American process.

It’s now perfectly clear why Fox news EXCLUDES Mr. Hunter and INCLUDES Mr Paul. They know Mr Hunter can WIN OVER ANY liberal in the Presidenial election. They say “ignore him” and he’ll just wither away. No more threat to their liberal agenda.
They purposely allowed Mr Paul into the debates because they know he is not electable. His radical rabid followers are taking care of that! (as proven in their unprovoked attack on poor Sean Hannity)

I believe the reason why Fox news EXCLUDES Rep. Hunter from the debates is because he does not belong to the same CLUBS as the owner and wealthy investors of Fox news.
