An interesting look at CINO (Conservative-In-Name-Only) Pollster Frank Luntz. Salon:
Former employees of famed GOP pollster Frank Luntz say his work is a "scam"
Republican pollster and Kevin McCarthy friend-slash-roommate Frank Luntz isn't afraid of boasting about his personal achievements. "Dr. Frank I. Luntz is one of the most honored communication professionals in America today," reads a biography on his website. But some of his former employees tell a remarkably different story.
Chris Ingram, a former senior vice president at the Luntz Research Company who worked at the company from 1997 through the early 2000s, told Salon that Luntz's claim to deliver objective data is a "total shtick and a scam."
Not surprised. A bit more:
Ingram said that Luntz does not work as an "impartial" or honest survey researcher but is better described as a pay-for-play pawn in Washington. In 1997, the American Association for Public Opinion Research largely agreed with Ingram's current analysis, finding after a 14-month investigation that Luntz had "violated the Association's Code of Professional Ethics and Practices."
Much more at the site - tip of the 'ole chapeaux to Don Surber for the link.
Don links to a couple other stories too - the guy is a sleaze.
If he is supposed to be on OUR side, you can only imagine what the other mokes must be like...
