Local Q13 Fox News' biased coverage of massive rallies filling venues in Vancouver and Seattle

http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-gop-presidential-candidate-r...

The "Fox News political analyst" C.R. Douglass was clearly biased against Ron Paul and was obviously attempting to minimize the impact of the huge crowd that was at the event, this shot was taken 3 hours after the start of the event when almost everyone had already left. Mr. Douglass had done the exact same shot several times earlier right after the event ended with a much larger more raucous crowd, but of course he chose instead to go with this one as everyone predicted he would.

My fiance and I are standing on the right of the shot holding the "I am voting for Peace signs" , I almost didn't want to do it but I thought it would be even worse if we didn't stand there and they ended up going with the clip with no one in the background at all.

A supporter questioned him as to why he was doing the same exact scene he had shot several times earlier with a much larger group of supporters in the background; he claimed that the previous shots were live for the 9pm news and that the new shot was live for the 10pm news.

I didn't see any other videos on their website so I am assuming this is the only segment they played on TV and he was therefore lying through his teeth, if anyone knows the truth about that please comment below. He had numerous shots with at least 3-4 times as many people as were in the shot at 10pm and it wasn't live either the time on the video shows 10:30pm the shot was taken around 10pm. I remember specifically that it was around 10pm because I was trying to catch a ferry home after we left.

Notice how they don't show the huge crowds or how the ballroom was filled to max capacity and everyone standing the whole time during his speech, not to mention the hallway outside the ballroom was packed with hundreds of people during the speech who chanted "We Want Paul, We Want Paul..." forcing Ron Paul to pause his speech.

Rest assured they had plenty of opportunity to demonstrate the overwhelming turn out but predictably they did not do so.

They also didn't show the lines out the door at the Vancouver event as they packed the largest venue available in Clark County full and were forced to turn away people.

Notice also that they picked the least eloquent Ron Paul supporters to show on the interview whereas I personally witnessed them taking interviews from much more polished supporters who they predictably did not include in the final cut.

I am so sick of the biased media please give this political hack a piece of your mind he deserves it, we can't let them get away with this the least we can do is flame their e-mail with comments questions and concerns about their clearly biased coverage askus@q13fox.com.

I don't trust the accuracy of reporting...

on a Mark Levin poll.

I absolutely despise that man

And I could hardly bear to vote in his fraudulent poll. Is a JOB payback/blackmail for him, so he is fully determined the results benefit him.

Mark Levin makes me sick

I heard his ratings were going down I hope he loses his gig I can't even listen to talk radio we need more people like Jerry Doyle to replace these hacks like Levin, Limbaugh, Hannity etc.

Yeah I forgot to mention how biased the questions were

He was clearly trying to get Ron Paul to slip up, he was so proud of himself that he got him to say he didn't want to dwell on C.R. Douglass' pet issues.

Seemed fine to me....he said

Seemed fine to me....he said "thousands" several times when reporting the turnout, accurately described the focus of the campaign and accurately assessed what RP supporters said they liked about RP.

Did you read the story?

Why didn't he use one of the other shots from hours earlier when the crowd was so much larger? Why did he lie about it being live and about it being live on tv twice for the 9 and 10 o'clock news when it was actually prerecorded and shown once at 10:30PM?
