Reminder: Zogby hired a GOP operative last summer
Fritz Wenzel was hired from the Toledo Blade as a "spokesperson" for Zogby. Wenzel had originally tried to keep the Toledo Blade from reporting on the Tom Noe Coingate scandal. He hid information from his editors at the Blade about GOP money laundering in association with Noe.

From now on, take Zogby's poll numbers with a grain of salt.

1. The guy who kept the story hidden for months before the 2004 election.
That man is no journalist - he's always been a GOP operative - and there are HUNDREDS more like him all across the country and at every news network.

2. Yep
Rather surprising that Zogby would hire him and allow him to start distorting poll results. Someone must have given Zogby an awful lot of money.

3. That's how they've been moving inside the media for over 3 decades now.
They targeted the media after Watergate and kept moving on it more and more until they now control it from inside and out.

5. Nah - the media was just Public Relations Dept for their REAL moneymakers
Wars, absurd tax breaks, rampant consumerism and such. EVERY big business has a PR Dept. Corpmedia is BushInc's.
