(un)Fair, (un)Balanced, and Thoroughly (un)Credible

POSTED BY Raleigh-Elizabeth Smith, 07 January 2008

FOX News has been caught planting an actor in their supposedly "random" focus groups of Republicans assembled to give feedback to tonight's debates, Rogue Government reports.

The credibility of Fox News is pretty much close to zero. It was bad enough that they refused to allow Ron Paul in their NH debate forum, but now they have been caught planting an actor in their supposedly random focus groups. Frank Luntz one of the chief propagandists for Fox News who organizes these focus groups has been caught planting people in focus groups in a clear attempt to distort reality. During tonight's Fox News GOP debate, Luntz organized a focus group to provide feedback from so called random Republican voters. However, one of the people in the focus group was also used in a previous focus group Luntz organized for the September 5th, 2007 GOP presidential debate. Take a look at the two videos taken from both focus groups and you'll see that the same guy appears in two supposedly random focus groups.

And it certainly appears to be true:
Look at the man at 1:36 above and 3:45 below.

As FOX threw its credibility to the wind, so did Luntz: once a Boston Globe "hottest pollster" and TIME Magazine "50 under 40" (one of the America's Most Promising lists), this once-prodigy seems to have taken a turn for the perfidious. Republican, FOX, FOX News, luntz, focus group
