In Howard Kurtz's book, I believe he said they call it winnowing.

I'm sorry to say I did not support Ron Paul but it was pretty plain to me what the broadcast networks and cable news networks were up to, especially during the Republican debates. (It could have happened to some Democrat candidates, too, during their debates but I didn't watch enough of them to notice.) It was disgraceful.
