Fox News just released its own poll<\/a> that showed the President pulling away from Romney. Obama leads in the Fox poll by 46% to 39%. But there was no mention of it on Fox Nation, and barely a mention of it on Fox News. So even when the poll was commissioned and paid for by Fox they bury the results if it looks good for Obama.<\/p>\nAnd it looks pretty darn good for Obama. Other results include a widening gender gap with women supporting Obama 55% to Romney’s 33%. Obama voters are far more satisfied with their candidate (74%) than are the Romney voters (59%) with theirs. That disparity could be because Obama’s supporters are backing him due to his job performance and positions (38%). Only 11% say they support him because “he isn’t Romney.”<\/em> On the other hand, 43% of Romney’s supporters say they back him because “he isn’t Obama.”<\/em> That sort of negative incentive from the Republicans often translates into low voter turnout.<\/p>\nThere can be only one reason that Fox would so blatantly suppress these poll results. They obviously don’t want the public to be informed of the broad-based positive impression of the President that exists in the country. They have no problem publishing negative information about Obama. In just the past two days Fox published two stories that portrayed the Obama camp as worried about their allegedly dismal prospects. One article said that “Alarm Grows Among Dems About Obama’s Chances.”<\/em> The other declared that “Team Obama Panics, and It’s Only May.”<\/em> Both of those articles were analyses of recent election polls. But now that Fox’s own poll paints an entirely different picture, there is no corresponding article about how the Obama team is celebrating or how the Romney camp is panicking.<\/p>\nThis is the way a public relations firm behaves on behalf of their client. And that is the best description of the relationship between Fox News and the Republican Party. It is 24\/7 spin for GOP interests. And they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. When Steve Doocy on Fox & Friends introduced a segment on the Fox poll, he comforted the Fox viewers, before giving them the news that Obama was out in front, by inserting this little ray of hope, “If the election were held today – don’t worry they aren’t going to be…”<\/em> Wasn’t it thoughtful of Doocy to be so concerned about the worries of the Fox audience?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For additional evidence that Fox News is the PR agency for the Republican Party, note the feverishly excited treatment that Fox News gives to polling when the results favor Mitt Romney: In the past two months Fox Nation has posted at least seven articles on election polling and every single one of them reported the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[152,1],"tags":[183,527,33,260,430],"class_list":["post-7113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-election","category-general","tag-barack-obama","tag-fox-nation","tag-fox-news","tag-mitt-romney","tag-polls"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4Ijg-1QJ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":19975,"url":"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=19975","url_meta":{"origin":7113,"position":0},"title":"Fox Nation vs. Reality: Romney Would CRUSH Obama If Fantasy Ruled The World","author":"Mark NC","date":"7\/27\/2014","format":false,"excerpt":"A new CNN poll was released that asked a frivolous little question that has no real bearing on anything.
