Anybody notice how relieved Fox News was when Romney's votes finally topped Ron Paul's?

The Fox crew couldn't stand it that Ron Paul pulled to an early lead in the "voting" after the "debate." They kept denigrating him, and kept extending the voting until finally Romney passed for top spot. But they aren't addressing the fact that Paul is second, far ahead of Giuliani...

Of course, if this poll had been taken by some other (unnamed) network, how likely would it have been that the results would even have gotten reported as-received?

Does anyone detect media bias?

Update:

Wouldn't it be cool if young people voted, instead of merely texting each other? Maybe then the AARP wouldn't run the country.

    If you believe that the majority of people that watch Fox News are conservative (I believe this would be a fair assessment), it really tells you what conservatives think. They are NOT at all happy with President Bush, the war in Iraq, huge government spending, and no real tax relief. They are tired of hearing the same nonsense from both parties about how the government is going to come into our lives and give us all this free stuff and make our lives so much better.

    This is clearly not the way that Fox News wanted the poll results, but they displayed them anyway. I don't think a lot of networks would have reported poll results in their own poll that do not support the message they want to get across.

    Yes, and the Fox website is not posting the poll results on the front page. You have to click 3 or 4 time to find them. No other networks are reporting the numbers either. But Ron Paul is way ahead on MSNBC.

    I wish that they'd ask Paul about our overseas coverage. he's been ideal about us being on the incorrect route for years. i have by no ability stated as Ron Paul loopy yet I disagree with him on his social conservatism, which isn't element of being a Libertarian. i'm happy Dr. Paul will proceed to be in Congress. His voice is needed.

    It would be a dream come true for me if Ron Paul got the nomination and the Presidency. America desperately needs a non-interventionist Libertarian running the country who has actually read and understood the Constitution.

    Media bias is rampant. Fox is, of course, right-wing. Most other networks are left-wing. C-Span is pretty good, though. They're usually neutral.

    Yeah they extended it so they could have all their staff and anyone else they could find text in the votes for Romney. I was laughing so hard that Paul was winning. Shows to everyone what actual Americans want, and that is out of this war. FOX blew this one good....like they usually do.

    Edit for Dave above me.....lol yes he surely is but don't forget Chris Wallace please...he ranks right up there.

    Naaaaa,I bet your group was afraid they were gonna run out of quarters for the vote. I went into the debate liking some of Paul's stance on some items.

    Came out of the debate and now know he's nothing more than a conspiracy nut. Dude want even protect the home land.

    Certainly. Faux wanted it to be the Rudy McRomney show but, they were wrong. How refreshing to see a Republican candidate with the balls to speak the truth as so many Americans see it. I am a Democrat and I was impressed, especially when he did not back down from 9/11 Ruby.

    The main thing that I took from last night's debate is that Sean Hannity is an idiot.
