Frank Luntz biography .ms. Politics :: feature :: Why should we trust this man?, By Dante Chinni :: Page 1. Whatever it is about the pollster Frank Luntz — the baby face, the unctuous charm, the ever-changing hairdo — no one seems to be able to get enough of him. Even since last week, when his sole candidate, Rudy Giuliani, made a tortured exit from the campaign trail, Luntz still makes the media rounds, from CNBC’s “Rivera Live” to the New York Times. He’s possibly the best example of what we could call the pollster pundit: someone who both purports to scientifically poll the opinions of the public, and then also interpret that data to support his own — in Luntz’s case, conservative — point of view. This is what allows Luntz to face a room full of journalists and, in all seriousness, proclaim George W.
Bush’s jittery, time-delayed appearance on David Letterman — the one which prompted boos from the audience — a total success. It’s what allows Luntz to proclaim that Giuliani would’ve been no more hurt from his admission of marital difficulties than his admission that he has cancer.

Wisconsin’s current political landscape looks wildly different than it did just a few years ago.
Long a state with reliably Democratic leanings, everything changed in 2010 when conservative outside groups helped flip the state legislature and governor’s office from blue to red. Led by Governor Scott Walker, the state’s new Republican leadership quickly set about imposing its extreme conservative agenda. They introduced an assault on collective bargaining rights that effectively cut public workers’ pay and destroyed their ability to negotiate over health coverage, safety, or sick leave.
The severity of the bill prompted impassioned protests centered around the state capitol and forced Republican lawmakers to use underhanded measures to pass it without a single Democrat. The unpopularity of Walker’s anti-worker bill sparked a movement to recall the governor, lieutenant governor, and several state senators. GOP pollster Luntz revealed Limbaugh's role in ... [Media Matters for America] Republican pollster Frank Luntz, CEO and president of Luntz Research Companies, appeared as a guest on the May 21 FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes to present the results of his new poll that purportedly showed that a plurality of Democrats say if they had the choice they would prefer Senator Hillary Clinton over Senator John Kerry as their presidential nominee.
Luntz admitted radio host Rush Limbaugh had a role in instigating the survey: CO-HOST ALAN COLMES: Frank, good to have you on the show. Did Rush Limbaugh have something to do with asking you to do this survey? FRANK LUNTZ, LUNTZ RESEARCH COMPANIES: Yes. Limbaugh had discussed the Luntz Research Companies poll results on his May 14 radio program and posted them on his website: RUSH: All right, folks. On Hannity & Colmes, Luntz continued, offering a "joke" as an explanation of why he thought Hillary Clinton would not do well in a national election: LUNTZ: ...
Environmental Working Group || Briefing. Letter to MSNBC urging disclosure of pollster L ... [Media Matters for America] Richard Kaplan President MSNBC One MSNBC Plaza Secaucus, NJ 07094 Dear Mr. Kaplan: Based on your channel's programming and editorial decisions during the 2000 presidential debates, I anticipate you are considering featuring Republican pollster Frank Luntz, CEO and president of Luntz Research Companies, as part of the network's analysis of this year's presidential debates.
I'm writing to ask that, if you have already chosen to include Luntz as part of your coverage, you reconsider that decision in light of Luntz's partisan Republican ties and history of questionable scientific methodology. If Luntz must be a part of MSNBC's lineup, I would expect that its viewers will be informed of these facts on-air. As Salon.com reported in 2000, there is little reason to trust a poll taken by Frank Luntz, who was reprimanded in 1997 by the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) for his work polling for the Republican Party's 1994 "Contract with America" campaign platform.
Sincerely, Political Strategy - Politics, Strategies, Tactics, News and Opinion. Announcing the launch of the PoliticalStrategy.org "Framing Project". The project will be an ongoing effort to provide a 'handbook' of framing suggestions. It will bring those unfamiliar with the concept of framing into the loop. It will also provide, over time, framing rationales and talking points on every issue covered in contemporary politics. As we journey down this path to framing supremacy, we will borrow generously from the pioneer in this field, George Lakoff. Frames: Part of what cognitive scientists call the 'collective unconscious' -- structures in our brain that we cannot consciously access but know by their consequences: the way we reason and what counts as common sense. As tutorials and analyses are created, they will be cataloged here for easy reference. Also Available in: PDFWord 2003 (671kb) RTF (908kb) RTF (zipped--185kb) XML (1.53mb) Framing 101 | Link.

Daily Kos :: Luntz GOP Playbook Now Readable online - No Downloads - Searchable Text. (From the diaries. I know some other people have been working on similar projects, but I can't check my email out here. I'll provide links to all versions of the Luntz memo when I'm back home next week -- kos) Since I was having a terrible time downloading the monstrous PDF file from DKos's link, and considering that I heard a lot of other people voice the same frustration, I thought that it was very important to bring this to everybody's attention.
Simply put, I think everybody should read this, but the current PDF format just made that a 'challenging' endeavor. I don't believe this is available and both readable and searchable online anywhere else on the net. Luntz and the Republicans are not going away! Via the Democratic Underground: The Frank Luntz Republican Playbook is now readable online!! They are putting out a section per day (The Playbook is 10 sections) and are currently up to section VI. And besides, it is IMMENSELY ENTERTAINING!!! Read it now! Frank Luntz - dKosopedia. Frontline: the persuaders: interviews: frank luntz. Is it the same for political decisions about power companies and politicians, though? We decide based on how people look; we decide based on how people sound; we decide based on how people are dressed. We decide based on their passion. If I respond to you quietly, the viewer at home is going to have a different reaction than if I respond to you with emotion and with passion and I wave my arms around.
Somebody like this is an intellectual; somebody like this is a freak. But that's how we make up our minds. Look, this is about the real-life decisions of real-life Americans, who to vote for, what to buy, what to agree with, what to think, how to act. This is the way it is. You think emotions are more revelatory than the intellect for predicting these decisions? 80 percent of our life is emotion, and only 20 percent is intellect. And this technology can get at that?
The great thing about dial technology is you can get a small response on the dial, or you can get a huge jump. Who hired you? The Language Police: Gettin’ Jiggy with Frank Luntz. If you need any more confirmation that America is the numero uno propaganda nation, look no further than the GOP language maestro Frank Luntz, who has produced a memorandum of The 14 Words Never to Use.
Thanks to the Internet and the blogosphere, we mere mortals can get our grubby mitts on what the conservative elite persuader Luntz is doing to scrub our brains free of individual thoughts. Luntz teases, This memo was originally prepared exclusively for Congressional spouses because they are your eyes and ears, a one-person reality check and truth squad combinedHowever, by popular demand, I have included and expanded that document because effectively communicating the New American Lexicon requires you to STOP saying words and phrases that undermine your ability to educate the American people. So from today forward, YOU are the language police. From today forward, these are the words never to say again. But wait, theres more! Never say privatization in reference to social security.
