Globalist elite to say the least. Besides Rupert Murdoch, you can also throw in President and CEO of Fox News, Peter Chernin. Trust me, these two have an agenda and it isn't for the good of America.

He just purchased the Wall Street Journal.

Here is an interesting article about who Rupert Murdoch is? VERY INFORMATIVE!!! His agenda is scary!

April you should post that article...very educational and informative, information that should get out far and wide.

What I want to know is where the hell are the Republicans? Still out to lunch. If anyone should be screaming it should be them. Oh wait they are dems to aren't they?

Nope , but I would assume you can scan back to the past
30 years of elections and find a lot of people have been
excluded due to poor ratings percents

Possibly, I don't think so - but possibly.

This election, however, may very well be the most critical election in the history of the country. It may decide if we continue as a sovereign nation or not.

Duncan Hunter has a message, illegal immigration, that speaks directly to the heart of the situation.

Also, this is a unique election, the media knows that far better than we - and for them to exclude anyone this time - but especially someone who is voicing a platform that is against their agenda - speaks volumes.

This is not just business as usual - no matter what anyone says.

Yes Paige. There are no more republicans- only democrats. I honestly don't see much of a difference at all, except maybe 1 or 2 against illegal immigration. AND, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS THE REASON WHY THIS WHOLE COUNTRY IS SCREWED UP!

Lets put this into perspective

Hunter has about as much support as Robert Gravel or
Kusinich

They are not being invited to debates either

Is it right to exclude them ?

He paid the $25,000 and is on the ballot - he should be in the debate. So should Kusinich and Gravel if they paid the fee and are on the ballot. Less than 1 percent of the nation as spoken, its too early for the media to be shutting candidates campaigns down for any reason. Who died and left them as the voice of America?

Hunter did very well in the straw poll in SC and there is no reason to believe he wouldn't have done well again if he would have been able to participate in the debates. I'm guessing FOX nows that though.

Fox News Deciding Candidate Viability Based On Poll Numbers That Don’t ExistFox News Is Skewing Early GOP Primaries

As you know, Duncan Hunter was excluded from the debates in Hew Hampshire and now in South Carolina. Duncan Hunter is a viable and active candidate in good standing. He had to pay $25,000 to get his name on the primary ballot in South Carolina! He has a network of volunteers that has worked very hard, but all are barred by the SC GOP from attending the debate. Worse, he is being excluded based upon one criterion imposed by Fox News: he has not garnered 5% of the national electorate as determined by recent polling.

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.

Amen.

The part nobody seems to get is that you can rant and rave all
you want at the networks excluding these candidates
but bottom line is that its their football and they can decide
who plays

Boycott them , don't watch , skew there advertisers ,

those are your options

Of course its not fair but they have the only game in town
at the moment
