Thread: FOX excludes Duncan Hunter from SC debate

Sad but true.

So any independent who decides to throw his hat in will also be banned.

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.

They are not being invited to debates either

Is it right to exclude them ?

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

It's not right to exclude ANYONE who is running for President. The job of the media is to give us a fair and unbiased news report. Not their slant of the day news reports we get all the time. The same goes for the debates they host. We deserve to hear from all the candidates.

I e-mailed fox and real politics .com, about not including Hunter, please lets all e-mail Fox and let them know how upset we are and that they will be boycotted if they continue their biased debates and news.

I emailed FOX and the S.C. RNC within minutes of finding out that Hunter was definitely excluded from the SC debates.
