Frank Luntz's Fox News focus group did NOT like the President's SOTU speech

http://www.newshounds.us/another_suspicious_fox_focus_group_attacks_obama_s_state_of_the_union_012015

Frank Luntz showed up with another fishy focus group last night that just so happened to be almost entirely critical of President Obama’s State of the Union address.

As he has previously, Luntz never told us the exact makeup of his group, other than to say that “half of you voted for Barack Obama.”

That begs the question as to how many of the group’s members were actually Democrats. Especially considering that very few had anything good to say about President Obama or his State of the Union address.

Luntz began the segment by saying, “I love it that we get to start with the American people rather than the politicians or pundits.” This, as he deliberately pulled the wool over the eyes of viewers.

Well, you don't have to, but for me, he has been the best instructor of polemics and propaganda since George Orwell. What I like about Frank, as revealed in interviews, he is very candid about his technique.

Even here, it is made clear to us, that he is being even-handed. He found as many people who could criticize Obama from the left as from the right! No bias here!

The thing is, few people have nothing to complain about, so Frank had much fertile ground. It's pretty clear that some of those people were Democrats, yet their complaints, as presented by FOX, are legitimate.

Well, me and anyone else who would listen to him. He tried to say that we could not vote for Dean, Kerry, Edwards, or any other Democrat because, well, I guess because they were Democrats. Since then I have had no use for him whatsoever.
