Fox News Is Skewing Early GOP Primaries
As you know, Duncan Hunter was excluded
from the debates in Hew Hampshire and now in
So where is Fox News getting their poll
data from? If you go to their website, Duncan Hunter is
not even listed as a candidate. Furthermore, Fox News is drawing
their consolidated poll data from Real
Clear Politics, an online clearinghouse for dozens of polls. According
to Real Clear Politics, he doesn’t exist. He is nowhere in their
polling data – they are not even tracking him!
Therefore, Fox News is using incomplete
poll data (and thereby skewed data) to exclude a candidate from the
debates. Information is knowingly being withheld from voters in these
early states, and their access to a Presidential candidate is barred. This,
in turn, is affecting results in later states as candidates are prematurely
dropped from consideration – BY THE MEDIA. Not only is that
unethical, it is manipulative, and it is blatantly contrary to the American
electoral process. There is no one holding the SC GOP or Fox News accountable.
It is far too early to exclude candidates
from the process - that is not fair to the voters. Fox News is
manipulating voter access and unfortunately, the South Carolina GOP is allowing
it. It is shameful and entirely anti-American.

Given the state of the primaries, to with decidedly un conservsative candidates fixed to win, I wonder if Duncan Hunter would Consider running 3rd party?

IMO, unless this censorship issue is addressed encompassing the media and financial interests of candidates, a 3rd party run would be just as disastrous as his run from September 2007 thru January 2008. The FEC has rules on the books concerning these issues. I'm at a loss as to why this is being ignored. Our election process has become an embarrassing 3 ring circus.
