Carley Fiorina being cut out of next GOP debate on CNN

[mmckee1952]

This decision by CNN to unfairly cut out Carley Fiorina from the next GOP debate is BS. They (CNN) are saying that she isn’t in the top ten in the nationwide & state polls, but there’s a big fat problem with their figures, they were being taken prior to the Aug 6th Fox GOP debate and since that debate she has risen in the polls to where right now, she’s number 5 in both the nationwide and state polls.

I say something is being done behind the scenes at CNN to keep her out of their debate.

Everybody pass this on, this in no way to treat anyone trying to achieve the office of the president of the United States.

Nothing like using polling data from almost a month ago. Stay classy CNN.

Wasn't there some law passed that applies to the press/TV when it comes to public elections? I'm on my phone and searching is a problem wwith this thing or I would look tonight. But... I seem to recall something about fair and equal coverage for unpaid publicity. Like, if they provide 10 minutes of free air time for 1 candidate, they have to do it for all candidates.

Am I wishful thinking, or is/was there something like that?

Wiki states for each 1 minute...and it makes sense. It reduces the off-balanced time to be bought by/for those with deep pockets like Bloomberg. He may not be a candidate but certainly could influence a group or TV station with some funding.

But Bloomberg is a Republican!

She is in the debate now. I suspect that's a big thanks to Ben Carson and Breitbart.
