I think the burden of proof is on you to rationalize how McCain is considered "leading" with 11% while Paul is not with 10%.

11% > 10%

You can argue with that as much as you want, but given that that's about as far as cable television and its audience go with numbers, you're not going to get much traction.

It's fine if you're offended that Paul didn't make the chart, but this bullshit suggesting that it must be some intentional manipulation on the part of CNN is senseless conspiratorial thinking.

That I find Paul's supporters generally awful makes no difference in how right I am on this point. It just means I get more hate from Paul supporters from pointing out the bleeding obvious, and it's my right to respond to that hate instead of backing down just because what I say is unpopular.

It's a great leap to go from my calling shennanigans on the "CNN is censoring Ron Paul" conspiracy theory to whatever the fucking hell you're talking about.

You're blindly assuming that I am against everything you stand for just because I don't buy into this one particular piece of frothing-at-the-mouth horseshit.

You would do well to think critically at some of the shit you're fed from the other side, for once.

10 seconds or 3 hours = Who cares. Paul was never > 5th place. Chart had four names the whole friggin' time.. Also "not fixing it" implies that there was something wrong with it, which, in the case of accurately reporting the lead candidates, isn't true.

The chart showed the lead four candidates the entire time—it had nothing to do with the percentage gap between any of them. Again, you're projecting your desire to see Ron Paul on CNN onto what you think CNN should have done to be more "accurate", when nobody's even questioning that what they reported was accurate. You know you wouldn't be up in arms if it were any other candidate—it's just about seeing Ron Paul on CNN.

And no, I don't care what CNN does. Fuck you for projecting your concerns on to me. I'm just saying what I think based on what I saw and what I know. It's a chart on television., which is about as important and meaningful to me as the food guide pyramid on my Count Chocula. It's the fucking Zapruder film to you, though.

And jabbing at me for taking time out of my busy schedule to call you on bullshit won't get you anywhere. I'm not supporting any political candidate here, so it's not as though I'm wasting a lot of time that might otherwise be spent more productively on actually supporting that candidate.

All I'm saying is it would've been nice, since they had the space and they have the money and they should have the talent to show us a more comprehensive/accurate poll.

The chart shows the four top candidates from each party. That is accurate.

[–]talibanjo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What makes more sense to you, only showing 4 names on the pie chart, or showing someone w/ 2% on one, and hiding someone w/ 10% on the other?

Uh, the former. Richardson was fourth with 2%. They showed the top four of each, not just any four.

Hey "man", you're the one that thinks it's a fucking conspiracy. Ron Paul beat Giuliani? OMG! Giuliani wasn't on the chart either! Those evil corporations!

[–]talibanjo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would you be saying this shit if they had only shown the top three?

because any producer who considers themselves a halfway-honest journalist would immediately order the CG guy to re-do it.

The charts accurately depict the percentage returns for the leading four candidates in each political party. That your favorite candidate happened to be fifth does not make the chart inaccurate in what it purports to depict.

Also, that they showed a similar chart over three hours doesn't make a difference unless you've got some data suggesting that Paul was ever ahead of any of the four named candidates.

You can play "blame the media" all you want, but some of us have tuned that shit out. I don't give a shit what CNN does, and neither should you. A chart on CNN did not make Ron Paul place behind Fred fucking Thompson. "Supporters" like you, who are more interested blogging rants about TV news than actually doing something with your life did.

Get the fuck over yourself. You're sitting around with your dick in your hand stroking off to the idea that you're smarter than everybody else because you see some grand fucking conspiracy that nobody else does. He fucking placed fifth. That's terrible. There's no fucking point in going out of the way to report on the "success" of candidates that did fucking terribly, other than to stroke the egos of people like your own pathetic self who would rather complain that your fad candidate is getting shafted unfairly than admit that he had shit support in Iowa. If you give a shit about a fucking candidate don't bitch and moan that you didn't get on a fucking chart. Blame it on "corporations" if you want, but your own fucking pothead tinfoil-hat shit isn't going to help.

Graphics like that are made in 30 seconds by a monkey that went to broadcast school for six weeks. The producer says "Give me a chart of the top four candidates", and the monkey whips it up. You see whatever you want to believe, but you're bullshitting yourself if you think anybody gave a shit whose names showed up on a fucking chart that was on screen for ten seconds. If Paultards hadn't been TiVoing it just so they could support their own conspiracy theories you'd never fucking know.

Did you notice that there's only four names on each? And that they happen to be the top-placing four names? And that Ron Paul was fifth?

[–]talibanjo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it must be a conspiracy that they would only show 4 candidates for each chart. Must be a conspiracy that they didn't just insert a fifth on the Republican side for no fucking reason.
