Chickens! BAwk bawk bawk!

According to a count by Carly for America, Fiorina has polled in the top 10 nationally since the last debate and has even broken into the top five on state-level polls. But that's just since August 6, and CNN's methodology for picking which candidates qualify for the main event versus the kiddie table includes polls from July 16 to September 10.
"The first 10 candidates–ranked from highest to lowest in polling order from an average of all qualifying polls released between July 16 and September 10 who satisfy the criteria requirements outlined in this document–will be invited to participate in 'Segment B' of the September 16, 2015 Republican Presidential Primary Debate," CNN explains in its criteria statement, issued May 21.
For CNN, this seems like a pure numbers game: The network is averaging numbers and developing a ranking system thereafter. But Fiorina claims CNN wouldn't budge on its rules because she's the GOP's most serious threat to Hillary Clinton, who is leading in the Democractic primary race.
"The mainstream media is doing everything they can to keep Carly out of the debate because they know Carly is Hillary's fiercest and most effective critic," Fiorina's camp wrote in an email to voters. "Rather than standing with the conservative grassroots that are supporting Carly, the RNC is standing with the Clinton News Network."

Cowardly and dishonest of them
