How did Mike Munger get invited to a UNC-TV debate tonight?
The Libertarian candidate for governor has been excluded from three other debates so far this year, but the public television network said he met their criteria.
The rule? He had to hit five percent in a "credible" public opinion poll.
Munger polled five percent in a poll by Survey USA in August. He's hit five percent or more in surveys by Public Policy Polling, though they are not usually considered by UNC-TV.
Ruby, strive to be smarter than than a NC democrackkk...anyone but Perdue!
Ironic given that SurveyUSA itself said PPP was the best pollster in the North Carolina primary...and the South Carolina primary and the Wisconsin primary and the Indiana primary and the Oregon primary, etc.
"He had to hit five percent in a "credible" public opinion poll. ... He's hit five percent or more in surveys by Public Policy Polling, though they are not usually considered by UNC-TV."
That one's pretty self-explanatory.
Seriously, a much better question is how the media justifies supporting the arbitrary two-party system instead of supporting free speech and free flow of ideas.
And I'm someone who will be voting for Perdue (unenthusiastically) on Election Day.
Because is a qualified candidate on the ballot! WHY would YOU even ask the question???

You should probably identify yourself when making that sort of post, Tom. People might not realize you're part of PPP.
