[MUST WATCH VIDEO]
Businesswoman turned politician Carly Fiorina is angry with CNN. The reason? The network is likely to leave her out of its prime time debate because shes supposedly not polling in the top 10.
The only problem with that? She clearly is.
As Howie Kurtz explained on Fox News, CNN, however, is using older polls from before the first Fox News debate to assemble its top 10″ of candidates. Its clear that this is extremely bad for Fiorina, since she barely had name recognition before that debate. After it, however, she quickly surged in the polls and suddenly become a top contender.
Youd think that CNN would understand that debates actually matter and that a few weeks (let alone a few months) are an eternity in politics, but theyre having none of it. From the looks of it, the cable channel will not change its selection process. This means that Fiorina will once again have to participate in the kids table debate, missing out on the big audience that the top 10 debate is sure to draw since theyre up in prime time.
Of course, CNN could change their system in the blink of an eye, but theyll likely refuse to do so because they dont want to give in to the demands of one of the candidates says Kurtz. Well, of course they wouldnt. To the networks, this entire primary process is of course not about the actual candidates, but about themselves. Its about their ratings, their influence, their power and their reputation. Republican voters can lose, as long as the networks win.
