FU Frank Luntz (aka Words That Lie)

First of all, as homework you are required to watch the "FU Frank" fake pollster episode of Penn & Teller's pay-cable thinktank propaganda show.



Now, read this enlightening post which has FU_Frank's Iowa and NH focus groups as aired by Third Reich News. This photo puts it very succinctly. Faux News is blatantly putting their own hacks and shills in their "random focus groups".

Isolated event? Well apparently they have also been placing Freepers who are paid by pro-GOP advertising firms but also appear in these focus groups. You might recognize Douglas Maher as a Freeper who was part of the FL 2000 GOP noise machine preppy riot (sorry, not pictured).

The Paulites have also been complaining about push polling dirty tricks.

Anyways, Fuck You, Frank. (How does this idiot keep getting paid by anyone? Being a pollster isn't about accurate polling, but delivering whatever message is on Fox's cuecards.)

[UPDATE: People found even more plants in the "undecided" focus group.

Amen, Intranets

Few can honestly argue that Fox "News" is not insipidly partisan. But they seem to keep moving further away from journalism (not that they were ever actually journalists) to full-on advocacy.

Their Republican "debate" this evening was annoying enough. But their post-debate coverage - it made me crazy!

They've gone from being shills for the Bush Administration to being cheerleaders for Mitt Romney.

There is nothing fair and certainly nothing balanced about that network.

Thanks for linking to sites that point out the actual tactics they are using.

I'm pondering

about a poll as well -- a ten-foot, pointed one -- and how it may optimally be wielded on these liars. There are several relevant options that spring to mind immediately.

The wingnuts are unhappy also, they cut out the HRC parts and have the unhappitude about their planted undecided voters.

You win!

This is now my favorite blog!
