Report By: NewsHounds.US

Republican Frank Luntz, who has been reprimanded for misrepresenting polling data, was once again presented as a neutral pollster on Hannity & Colmes last night (5/1/08), this time with another focus group of undecided voters. The only excerpt we saw from the focus group was Luntz repeating his gotcha game designed to make Obama supporters look and feel foolish. As he chatted on the Hannity & Colmes set, Luntz boasted that after the focus group, some of the respondents had changed their point of view as a result. Then he joked that ‘if only the economy was better’ they could do it every day. When Alan Colmes challenged Luntz’ findings, Luntz turned testy and rude. With video.

White-rights champion and Neo-Nazi sympathizer Sean Hannity began with an introduction that took a slap at black voters. ‘In (Indiana and North Carolina) Obama leads with the younger vote and among African American voters, even after the Rev. Wright media tour.’ (my emphasis)

Viewers were not given any information about Luntz’ background nor of his ties to the Republican Party. Hannity introduced Luntz by saying, ‘Joining us now for analysis, our own Frank Luntz is with us.’….[more]
