The Fox News commentator tells everyone who just got done watching the Republican Presidential debate in Iowa to go on FoxNews.com and vote. So then Hannity comes on and brings his hired propagandist Frank Luntz and then interviews several candidates except Ron Paul. I don't even remember Hannity showing a video clip of Ron Paul during the entire show.
The announcement of the poll results was supposed to be done during the hour long Hannity post-debate show. The entire show was a propaganda piece saying nice things about everyone but Ron Paul.
Well, it turns out Ron Paul won the FoxNews.com poll handily. He won it by several thousand votes. Here is a screenshot and a breakdown of the poll results shortly after 12 am ET (after Hannity's show concluded).
1st Place: Paul with 7,796 votes 2nd Place: Gingrich with 4,751 votes 3rd Place: Cain with 2,425 votes 4th Place: Romney (the supposed front-runner) with 1,870 votes 5th Place: Bachmann (the other so-called front-runner) with 1,818 votes 6th Place: Santorum with 835 votes 7th Place: Huntsman with 303 votes Last Place: Pawlenty with 250 votes
Here is a state breakdown of the poll. Ron Paul takes almost every state in the union except Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Georgia, and Mississippi.
Shortly after Hannity's show, Fox News pulled the poll off their website:
It was somewhere in the yellow area before it was pulled down.
So what does this mean? This means that Ron Paul got over 7,000 votes in less than an hour from all 50 states from an audience that is mostly conservative that watched Fox News. It also shows that he almost doubled the 2nd place contender's votes. It also shows he won Iowa - the main purpose for the Iowa debate and an early primary state. It shows that Fox News is scared and that Frank Luntz is a liar. It shows that Ron Paul has a real good shot at winning this election.

Fox only covers what Roger Ailes says they should cover. If he says Bachmann and Romney are the front runners, then any facts to the contrary don't matter.
This is a must-read about Fox:

I sometimes listen to Glenn Beck and wanted to see what he had to say about the debate today. He played the exchange between Paul and Santorum on Iran but cut it off before Paul told Santorum he was wrong and didn't know his history. Santorum mentioned thousands of American lives dying because of Iran but we wouldn't have lost lives if we hadn't been in undeclared wars now would we? By not playing the whole exchange, Beck lied to his audience. How about let the people hear it all and make decisions themselves. The Fox map poll said it all on that debate. As of this morning, Santorum wasn't even up to a thousand votes while Paul had about 15,000. If anyone wants a direct answer why Dr. Paul stands as he does on Iran, watch the after-debate Stossel interview. He explains it well there. Beck needs to leave "We the People" alone as well and allow us to make the decisions on what is best for us. August 12, 2011 11:44 AM Anonymous said...
That poll looks exactly as it should. How the numbers and candidates get changed come election time is disgusting. If this was a real democracy, that's what it would look like. Too bad come 2012, the corrupt media and politicians will hold a fake show which will do nothing for this country except make the billionaires more money. August 12, 2011 12:26 PM Anonymous said...

AMERICAN'S BEING ROBBED OF THEIR CHOSEN LEADER: I know this sounds nerdy, but I was really excited to hear 30 members of Dr. Ron Paul's family were coming to Iowa to support him; the ladies wearing dresses made of cut up Ron Paul shirts they made themselves. Then Ron won the debate (over 48% of the vote!) and I was excited to hear his interview after this victory and Fox news announce that he won, but I couldn't find anything on the TV and nothing yet on the net. I wanted to see him celebrating with his family and get a glimpse of the Paul family that has tirelessly sacrificed so much fighting for our liberty. It is a crime against the people to rob them of their chosen leader and his triumphs. Thank you Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, & TIME Magazine. Thank you for convincing people that they will be throwing their vote away by not reporting the truth and for hiding their chosen leader. Thank you for trying to destroy what is left of this country for our children with your misinformation. eb said...
Here is a screenshot taken at 12:39am EST, right after the poll was removed from FoxNews. You have my permission to do what you like with it, or direct link if you wish. razmear.com/files/debate1239.png The screenshot includes my system clock. eb Anonymous said...
Rush Limbaugh went off on Ron Paul on his show this morning. It's obvious that they are trying their hardest to either make him look like he is a kook (This is the word Limbaugh used to describe him) or not a 'good' Republican. Rush, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, etc. are all from the same David Rockefeller bag of scums. August 12, 2011 5:50 PM Veronica Vendetta said...

Maybe Ron Paul got "OUTFOXED" video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6737097743434902428 August 12, 2011 11:19 PM Anonymous said...
Paul won the debate......and the lamestream media on both sides have decided their new strategy is try to ignore him......calling him a kook was successful in 2008......but after economic disasters AND foreign policy disasters, it's they who are looking like kooks.......so the only thing now is to IGNORE Ron Paul and hope his message doesn't get out......but it's getting out!
Tatarewicz: Ron Paul's call to bring troops home undermines Israeli interests to have wars going against all who would help Palestinians get back lands stolen by Israeli terrorists. Pro-Israel interests control America's mainstream media whose grunts must tow the "party" line in order to keep their sinecures.
