Media blackouts are nothing new.

It has been taken to a whole new level.

One World Order, rules the media.

So, CNBC rules the country?

Or are you implying that the other republican candidates influenced CNBC to drop the poll results?

If so, does that make the republican candidates 'the rulers'?
But, I thought they wanted less government and more adherence to the constitution? I don't think the constitution has anything about 'rulers' in it.

confusing, at best.

Why would you suspect the MSM would be reporting on a media blackout?

What the Paulinistas are mad about is apparently this:

Quote:
Paul led by a heavy margin in the post-debate poll on CNBC.com, but the poll was removed. The news organization said it removed the poll because it didn’t reflect the views of its audience, according to HuntingtonNews.net. This is the second time that CNBC has removed a poll from its website because Paul was leading. The first time occurred in October, when the candidate took a 75 percent lead in a post-debate poll.
The problem is that Paul's followers lurves them some Internets, while a good chunk of the over-all Republican base is still wondering how those little people get into the magical picture box. In other words, the poll is skewed from the word go. That's the kind of problem that an attentive press is supposed to be aware of and correct.

Thankyou for an excellent post that explained the situation.

Reporters should be allowed near statistics or sharp objects without strict supervision.

Last I checked, copyright infringement was against the TOS on this forum. The OP complied with forum rules and supplied a link.

I have no idea who the "derp twins" are but can only assume you're trying to cast insults to cover your own embarrassment for missing the obvious.
