After the recent Republican presidential debate, CNN executives evidently manipulated internal political polls, made it difficult for the public to find information on the real 'winner'--small-government conservative Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex), according to widespread Internet results." Here's the evidence:
"- GOP candidates were seated so that the 'first tier' candidates had center stage.
"- Second tier candidates received, in some cases, only half as much time as first tier candidates.
"- CNN moderators stated continuously that 'all' would have a chance to answer every question, but then ran out of time before these promises could be kept.
"- After the debate, behavior that seemed to marginalize certain candidates--especially Ron Paul--was just as obvious.
"- CNN anchors spent a good deal of time interviewing 'major' candidates, but far less time with increasingly popular 'second tier' candidates. The fervent support of some second-tier candidates on the 'Net--especially free-market proponent Ron Paul--is a major news story, but one that CNN virtually ignored.
"-CNN put up a 'visual' after the debate but then promptly pulled it. At the time it was pulled, it apparently showed candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex) winning the debate by a significant majority.
"-Later, CNN put up a web-based comments page about the debate but took that down, as well. The 'vanished' comment page has been posted at several alternative news websites. It features numerous positive comments about Ron Paul's performance.
"-CNN has also seemingly made it fairly difficult to find its web-based GOP Poll on the debate's winner. Once again, Ron Paul is firmly entrenched as the leader, and in several other Internet polls as well."
