Fox News Is Skewing Early GOP Primaries
O.M.G! Will get back to you later...off to my Thursday date! ;*)
So the news media skews the polls, then relies upon such polls to exclude a candidate, who doesn’t do as well in the primary as one would expect when he had just been 1 of 3 candidates who won delegates in the primary before it. All of this is greeted by a yawn on Free Republic, the supposed bastion of conservatism and constitutionalism.
Did I get that right?
