So they use media manipulated polls to determine who gets to debate?

I have a feeling Johnson will magically find his 5 points and stein will be around -10 because she would pull the most from Hillary

Where is the 5% coming from?

There are FIVE -5- polls to be averaged, but candidates need to average FIFTEEN, -15- percent, according to the referenced/quoted story.
