Frank Luntz OFF Post-Debate Coverage

This IS an important point....right wing loony Frank Luntz is a Republican operative who has bene passed off by several networks (most notably NBC/MSNBC/CNBC) as a legitimate non-partisan pollster. In fact, he has been reprimanded by the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) for falsifying results.

He had been commissioned by MSNBC to provide post-debate spin to viewers via a phony "focus group" (similar to what he did during the Democratic Convention). Now thanks in part to an e-mail campaign organized by David Brock (many DUers participated), he's been axed.

Remember, making your voice be heard is important.

2. Score one for David and Media Matters.

And all of us, of course...:evilgrin:

Hope this comes up when Al has David on his show next.

It'll be a relative joy to merely have to put up with Killer Joe and whatever clowns Tweety can scare up and not have to endure Frank, his rug 'n' highwaters and those ludicrous handsets "measuring" people's alleged approval and disapproval...

3. Amen to that!

Of course, Chimpy could vomit in fear during the debates and the cable news networks would talk about how bravely and forcefully he puked, and excoriate Kerry for not being honest enough with voters to show them what he had had for lunch....
