Thread: Fox News hocus pocus "focus" groups EXPOSED

Fox News was up to it's old tricks again last week when during the Republican Debates they checked in with their "focus group". This group, we were led to believe, was your basic everyday undecided Republican voter. Interestingly the guy pictured above, went out of his way to call Ron Paul "certifiably insane".
Well youtuber "uneedhelp" has done some detective work for us. As it turns out this man is none other than Douglas Maher a well known "Freeper" (activist at the Right Wing freerepublic.com website.) Mr. Maher also claims to work for an advertising firm that "has managed to deliver Jeb and George four elections."
Maher acted simultaneously as Journalist and GOP operative / "activist" during the 2000 Gore v. Bush ballot count controversy in Florida.
The Ron Paul thorn must be festering as the GOP media machine ups it's efforts to marginalize through the use of dishonest "journalism".
We retort... you decide.

I'm surprised. Free Republic is a very libertarian site, from what I understand. Why a freeper would be against Ron Paul is beyond me....

Zarathustra ^^^^I would hardly call Free Republic a libertarian site. You should visit it. They take intolerance of the free exchange of ideas to a new level IMO. Hardly a libertarian attitude .

You don't honestly believe that any of the networks get in undecided voters, do you?

I hope you are simply making the point that all of the major media is corrupt and needs to get a swift kick in the ass. I hope you are not trying to justify the actions of Fox here simply because others do it.

I don't know if you're serious or fishing, but I'll tell you anyway. I have said many times that I don't trust all of any one news source, I justify nothing they do. Their bottom line is profit, they're not there to "keep us informed", they're there for profit, which is fine, so long as the public understands that & don't take them too seriously, NONE of them. I don't even have that much trust in the religious channel. D'oh

So is there evidence tha FOX brought him in?
