9/ MSNBC: "Sorry. There's just no room in the graphic to show @AndrewYang in 8th with 1.3%."

CNN: "Okay okay okay, everyone. Sheesh. Enough with the outrage machine. We've heard you, and so here's the top 6 candidates based on recent rolling polling average, minus @AndrewYang because we couldn't fit him into the graphic obviously."

Looks like we made enough noise for CNN to hear us and correct their Quinnipiac poll coverage. My thanks to them, but I also don't think the public should have to constantly fight for unbiased non-manipulative coverage of something as simple as polling results. #YangMediaBlackoutpic.twitter.com/PyhDUVQXJr
This CNN graphic decided to order all the candidates by RCP rolling average. Guess who is out of position? #YangGang #Yang2020
1. Biden
2. Warren
3. Sanders
4. Harris
5. Pete
6. Yang*
7. Booker
8. Beto
9. Castro
10. Klobuchar*
At 0.9% Klobuchar is heavily subsidized by the MSM.pic.twitter.com/KVsaZcekIF
MSNBC: "Hey CNN! Take your beer back. We are the kings of excluding @AndrewYang from our graphics and we will not be surpassed. Behold our masterpiece!!"
(It's hard to believe this one is real, but it absolutely is)

NBC doesn't even list @AndrewYang on their 2020 Democratic Presidential Election Candidates page. He's MIA. As I write this, Yang is outpolling all but 5 of the candidates on this page of 16 faces.

NBC: "Okay okay, we'll start covering this John Yang guy."

MSNBC: "Seriously though, John Yang is living his best life. I wish we could crowdsurf. But alas, we're stuck here in this studio reporting the news, with the utmost of accuracy and attention to detail..."

MSNBC: "We can't ignore this one, guys. #YangBeatsTrump. We can't not report on that. It's really impressive and is about Trump after all…"
(Is this the end of this thread? Has Yang reached the point where the MSNBC can no longer ignore him? Tune in next week(?) to find out.)pic.twitter.com/MaRjLZzEZp

CNN: "If you're not going to ignore @AndrewYang's $10 million Q3 fundraising total, MSNBC, we certainly will. And don't you just love how Biden’s total puts him right in the center of the screen? Gosh we love that guy. And Booker too! Bless his $6M."

This new graphic isn't an exclusion, but it's an error that was only made with @AndrewYang's numbers. It looks like ABC created a bar for $28M instead of $2.8M in Q2, so visually, it looks like Yang lost instead of gained a lot of support in Q3.

CNN: "We only have room for one of the three candidates who polled at 2% in this poll. Let's go with Booker again. Sure he's in 8th, while @AndrewYang is in 6th by RCP avg, but we really want that to change. And let's put Booker in the chyron too."
#YangMediaBlackout #YangGangpic.twitter.com/7FKiecoP9G
MSNBC: "Okay, time to report on which Democrat candidates have the most cash on hand. Let's see… that @AndrewYang guy has $6.4M after a massive Q3 haul of $10M that was the biggest growth of any candidate, but… OMFG… Booker has $4.2M in the bank!"
#YangMediaBlackout #YangGangpic.twitter.com/iR13jMiTGL
The @weatherchannel: "Let's get into politics, do a special on climate change, invite the top 7 based on polling, exclude @AndrewYang at #6 and include Booker at #9. Booker should be doing so much better than he is. Let's help him out." #YangMediaBlackout

CNN: "Six candidates got 1% in the latest Quinnipiac poll, including @AndrewYang. How should we display that in our graphic? Hmmm... let's go ahead and just put Beto up there, and exclude the other five."

MSNBC: "A debate qualifying poll just came out of New Hampshire. We know we should report on every candidate polling higher than 4%, but that Yang guy is in there again. Tulsi, Klobuchar, and Yang all got 5%. Let's only show Tulsi."
#YangMediaBlackoutpic.twitter.com/oyB5Hlk4dx
ABC affiliate in Iowa: "We hear our kids just did a mock election. That @AndrewYang guy got 4th overall with 7.4%. Let's exclude him and include Pete who came in 5th at 7.1%."

CNN: "We couldn't get John Yang for an interview, but we were able to find his wife, Emily Yang. We're hoping that next time around we can sit down with John and Evelyn Yang, then Andrew and Emily, then finally Andrew and Evelyn. Please watch all four."

DNC: "I think the MSM is really onto something with their #YangMediaBlackout. Let's make a video that includes supporters of all the candidates, and let's exclude the #YangGang. This should be especially fun, because they're right here at #LJ19 watching."pic.twitter.com/vGuNni2uBg
MSNBC: "With Bernie in 3rd and Yang in 6th, wouldn't it be hilarious to exclude both of them, and instead include Bennet and Williamson in 11th & 13th as the top 10 contenders vying to win in Iowa? Reporting news is fun."

MSNBC: "News networks like us are disproportionately covering the Democratic Presidential candidates. Let's inform our viewers of that by leaving out @AndrewYang again, but including Beto who already dropped out of the race."
(This one is so meta)
#YangMediaBlackout #YangGangpic.twitter.com/axc4STz2Op
MSNBC: "We're getting a lot of complaints that we shouldn't exclude any of the candidates, so let's show everyone who polled above 0% in Iowa, except @AndrewYang at 3% of course. We just don't have room for that guy in this graphic."
#YangMediaBlackout #YangGangpic.twitter.com/Vv72etrobR
CNN: "Let's report on the latest Quinnipiac poll out of South Carolina, the one @AndrewYang got 4% in, but we'll focus on just black voters, and exclude Yang, Willamson, and Patrick at 1%, and also Steyer at 4%, but include Pete at 0% and no one else at 0%."
#YangMediaBlackoutpic.twitter.com/57MJhi5Z2t
MSNBC: "With 10 min left before our #DemDebate starts, let's exclude half of the people on the stage, and just for shits & giggles, include Bloomberg who not only isn't on the stage, but isn't even running yet."
(The two empty spots should be Yang & Gabbard)
#YangMediaBlackoutpic.twitter.com/jH1gTnyzLe
MSNBC: "We still only have 10 min left before #DemDebate! Let's make it a two-fer by excluding @AndrewYang in this graphic of avg rankings in Iowa too. Sure, Yang is in 8th in Iowa at 2.3%, but we simply don't have room for him again, unfortunately."
#YangMediaBlackout #YangGangpic.twitter.com/gL5lYNwYPr
MSNBC: "We have to make a point in leading up to our own debate of excluding @AndrewYang in graphic after graphic, and just to twist the knife, let's make sure there's always an open spot where his name should be."
(Yang is 8th in NH by RCP polling average)
#YangMediaBlackoutpic.twitter.com/GHBIvokYUS
MSNBC: "We see your #BoyCottMSNBC, and we raise you this graphic of which candidates have the firmest support by excluding the candidates with the 2nd and 3rd strongest support. We don't like Tulsi (58%) or Yang (42%)."
