CBS pulls plug on Debate Poll because Ron Paul was a landslide!

(Continued) and the motivation for it. Has crony capitalism reached this far into the heart of our press? I insist this be dealt with immediately and thoroughly, with appropriate apologies issued should it prove to be as biased as it appears. I will be forwarding a synopsis of this complaint to the Paul Campaign, the FCC, Federal Elections Commission, and competing news organizations but only if I don't receive a satisfactory reply within 5 days.  This is a disgrace.

(Continued)quashing the results? As an organ of the public press you have an ethical duty to report news objectively whether or not you agree with the political undertones. This is the sort of story that has caused the public to distrust the popular press. If you have any vestige of the real role of free press you owe it to your fellow citizens to explain this breach of trust. A full investigation should be launched to determine who ordered the censorship of this poll

Here's a copy of my complaint to CNS News about this. I recommend everyone send a similar complaint/question.....

"I would like to appeal to your journalistic integrity with regard to the CBS Poll which was removed from your website as the numbers for Congressman Ron Paul approached double that of his nearest competitor. Having set up a forum to report news of public opinion regarding the likely outcome, how can you possibly justify (no space left)

GOD BLESS RON PAUL!

I'm a Ron Paul supporter but this is why a lot of Ron Paul supporters don't get taken seriously.. It's the paranoia. We know that the media blacks out RP and we know there is fraud, but to jump on every little thing, it gets to be a little obnoxious and just makes us all look like we're trying to find anything to complain about being treated unfairly. This poll went back up online later. I've seen this type of thing on youtube several times. Let's be aware but stay positive!

@theshmcc I agree there is a better way to go about this. We are trying to make friends, not enemies. We need people to understand that Ron Paul supporters are intelligent and nice people. It is the right of CBS to host a debate in a manner they think is appropriate. It is there right to take down a poll for whatever reason they choose. Not everyone understands Ron Paul's positions. On a side, making people who don't like Paul feel stupid just shuts them off. Tone matters. Anger is a turn off.

@kylehardaway The poll is back up and Ron Pauls numbers are even higher...see my vid.
