Why would ABC do this?

Question

Kucinich Wins Debate Poll, ABC Covers Up Results

Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's supporters (and, according to his website, even some non-supporters) are demanding that ABC explain its actions of the last few days.

On Monday afternoon, Congressman Kucinich took a significant lead in the ABC online poll: Who won the Democratic debate? About the time that he took that lead, ABC removed the poll from its prominent position on the ABC website. Then a new poll suddenly went up, "Who is winning the Democratic debate?"

Those events could be seen as technical glitches, but there was more to come. Kucinich took the lead in the second poll, also, and that poll, too, was dropped. ABC also "forgot" to announce the results (Kucinich tied with Sen. Hillary Clinton as the winner), and news about the poll is nowhere to be seen on the ABC website. Kucinich was also cut out of a group photo of all the candidates in the debate. (Washington Post)

Answer 1

They are very afraid of the changes Kucinich is proposing for the nation and so are doing their part -which is against all journalistic codes - to squelch him before too many are able to hear his plans.

Answer 2

If enough people write to ABC and demand an explanation they are going to have to pay attention. Complaining on YA is going to do NO good. I shall enquire about it and urge others to do the same. I am no fan of Kucinich. I think he should still have his due before he totally loses in the primaries and drops out.

Answer 3

Probably because the mainstream media of which ABC is a part of does not want someone who does not have a chance of beating the Republicans to look like the Democratic nominee, the mainstream media is tied this next year to having a democrat elected president.

Answer 4

Because the media wants Hillary to win. By painting her as the inevitable winner they're hoping to keep those who would vote AGAINST her away from the poles. If it even looks like there will be some competition, more voters turn out in hopes their candidate will win. Why bother to vote if your candidate has no chance? With Hillary's HIGH NEGATIVES the less people who vote in the primary--the better.

Answer 5

Why would they do this?

Because they have an agenda.

There is no unbiased journalism or journalists anymore.

There was a time when being unbiased in the world of journalism was expected, honored, and embraced but no more.

Follow the money and you'll find the source of why something is geared to be right or left in politics.

The truth in news today is very subjective.
Sad really.

Answer 6

Because Kucinich has about as much chance of winning the nomination as Bill Clinton has of becoming chaste.

Answer 7

Of course Fox News reported it that's what a real news network does, not a bought and Paid for New Media outlet like AN Anti-American hate machine like George Soros,

But to answer your question the Liberal Bias media wants to make sure that there Canadate Hilary gets in no matter what, and will do anything to make it happen.

Answer 8

All the news media is bias to their interest and their political persuasion.

Debates are rehearsed and the question are screened.

Poles are noting more than propaganda to make you swing to the polestars way of thinking.

Listen to whats' being said, do your own research and make up your own mind. Now is not the time to be a follower of the political sheep population.

Be original, be independent. That's the way our forefathers made changes.

Answer 9

Because most of the media is bought and paid for by the few people who really run America, ie, the owners of the Federal Reserve, The Bildeburgs and the Trilateral Commission

Answer 10

Seems obvious that ABC does not care to promote this candidate in any way.
