"MSNBC Cans Luntz"

Success. From Roll Call, subscription only. Here's the relevant bit:

Looks like the letter had an impact. Although MSNBC did not respond to Brock, a spokeswoman for the network told HOH late Wednesday that the network has decided “not to go with Frank for the debate.” In fact, MSNBC won’t conduct polling at all now, she said.

Brock was delighted to hear the news. “It is encouraging that MSNBC responded to criticism in a constructive way. Clearly they realized that employing a partisan pollster does not reflect well on them as a responsible media outlet.”

4. Now we just need to can the nimrods in his focus group

All I can speak of is from what I remembered four years ago from Luntz' group and Wolf Blitzer's group. I don't know if I've ever seen a more superficial, malleable, mushy headed group of bozos on TV.

5. The repukes claimed they had the keys to running a

grass roots campaign, they don't have a clue do they? Hee, hee it is so encouraging to learn that MSNBC has made a rational decision for a change.

Congratulations DUers :yourock:
