Is anyone working specifically to link WH propaganda with

[intheflow]

Mitofsky's being hired by the media to conduct the exit polls?

I mean, it certainly seems like a no-brainer connection to make, yet I haven't seen any postings connecting the two. In one corner are Armstrong Williams, Karen Ryan, and Gannon/Guckert and then, as if completely divorced from the propaganda spin, the other corner focuses on Mitofsky, as if the polling company hadn't been hired by media outlets.

I'd be very interested to read about that, if anyone's been working on it.

Thanks! :hi:

1. I'm not always around, but I have not seen anyone look into that .

Interesting thought though.
Would be informative to see his financial numbers since 2000.
Since he's been a pollster forever, I think money would be the key.

3. Follow the money!

It's not the fact that Mitovsky was hired by the MSM, it's the possibility that he was hired under the table by Bushco. Pretty easy to believe after all the recent scandals (more to come, no doubt).

4. I googled "Eberle" and "NEP" but go nothing.

I'm trying to think what other combos I might find. Maybe I'll try Murdoch and NEP, but then, one would expect that combo to hit gold. Who else are big contributors to Bushco in the media?

5. Nice!

I hadn't considered it, but a definite likelyhood I'd say.

6. You might want to add Gallop to the list.

I haven't seen this mentioned in connection to the election, but the polls (notably Gallop) right after the GOP convention showed a big swing towards Bush.

However, several of the more reliable one such as Zogby put them in a dead heat.

This seems to be another part of Rove's strategy to add credibility to a possible Bush win.

No one has really picked up on this, although it fit's perfectly into the big picture.

7. I'm thinking AP.

They're the biggest news wire, I think, in the world. Deanna Sands is a member of the AP Managing Editors executive task force. She is also the managing editor of the conservative paper, the Omaha World Herald newspaper. The Omaha World Herald's parent company, Omaha World-Herald Co., also owns ES&S.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but I'm certain there is some connection between NEP and electronic voting companies and the current propaganda machine. I feel it in my bones!
