Despite Boycott Watch making several inquiries to Fox
News executives questioning Tarek Baydoun's credentials as a pollster prior to
the 2012 election, Fox 2 Detroit has kept Mr. Baydoun on their payroll as an
on-air poll analyst on election-day, 2012. The job of a pollster is to conduct
polls and analyze results in a fair and unbiased way, thus giving the public a
fair assessment of public opinion as a whole.
In our report "Fox Detroit
Pollster / Reporter Is Paid To Promote Candidates He Reports About, Supports
Hamas Terrorist Murder of Jews," we exposed just that - how so-called
pollster Tarek Baydoun advertises himself as a consultant to candidate, thus
enabling him to then report to the public on television without disclosure, and
how this so-called pollster also advocates Hamas terrorism to destroy Israel.
While there have been plenty of partisan politicians who
have became media analysts, including George Stephanopoulos, Mr. Baydoun is
different because he continues to advertise himself as a consultant to
candidates despite appearing as an independent pollster on
his website.
Boycott Watch reiterates our questions about who hired him
in the first place. The following is a screenshot of his Twitter ® postings
where he praises the slate of the Arab American Political Action Committee
(AAPAC) which endorses candidates as you can see in this
PDF, it is a list of only Democrats.
A look at the timeline, bottom-up, reveals Mr. Baydoun as
not just promoting candidates who potentially pay him, but also candidates of a
single party, most of whom support a single issue agenda. Boycott Watch sees
this as worse for Fox 2 Detroit - the TV station has a pollster who is really
nothing more than an activist following and promoting a political action
committee while claiming to report both sides fairly.
"Boycott Watch still wants to know who hired Tarek
Baydoun as a reporter" said Fred Taub, President of Boycott Watch.
"His bias is so blatant that it tells us there must either be a pattern of
abuse or a lack of controls in place at Fox 2 Detroit. The bias clearly
indicates we will not get a straight answer from the Detroit station, which is
why we directed our question to the parent network. We have yet to receive a
reply."
Boycott Watch also points out that everyone who supports
terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah also support boycotting Israel and
the associated Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
There is a reason for that. The Israel boycott is being pushed globally by
supporters of Hamas, as we also see with Mr. Beydoun in our first report about
him
, as well as supporters of other terrorist organizations. As exposed in the
book Boycotting Peace, the current
campaign is aimed at both growing sympathy for terrorists while working toward
by destroying Israel economically.
Boycott Watch is still seeking answers as to who hired Mr.
Beydoun and why. We will continue to report on this matter as news becomes
available.
