Frank Luntz, author of the 2009 book, "What Americans Really Want ... Really: The Truth About Our Hopes, Dreams and Fears", has done a lot of work for the Fox News Network as a frequent commentator and analyst and helping Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity run discussion groups on camera.
I enjoy, like, and appreciate the work that Glenn and Sean do informing listeners about the state of the Union and liberty. I also realize that Frank has to make a living doing what he does best: dealing with communication strategies and public opinion and running focus groups.
But, there is a fly in the ointment. Frank Luntz does not sift out the enemies of liberty and all that Fox News Network apparently stands for from his list of clients. He apparently uses his extensive talents and abilities for people on both sides of the liberty debate.
According to the May 2010 issue of NRA's America's 1st Freedom, page 16, Frank Luntz used his considerable abilities to to conduct a Bogus NRA Member "Poll". "In [NRA's] February 2010 issue ("First Things First," p. 12), we noted that a poll paid for by anti-gun Mayor Michael Bloomberg, claiming to show that NRA members support gun control, was conducted by a pollster who's been reprimanded and censured by two professional polling organizations, and who (of course) doesn't have access to the NRA's confidential member list.
"Since then, gun control supporters have cited the poll in numerous newspaper editorials, opinion columns and letters to the editor, all attacking the NRA's opposition to gun control.
"Bloomberg's pollster, Frank Luntz, has admitted the manner in which he gets polls to turn out the way his employers want. In a "Penn and Teller" interview posted on YouTube, Luntz says, "The key in survey research is to ask questions that people care about the answers [sic], and to ask the question in a way that you get the right answer.
"He added, '[W]ith just a single change of wording, you'll get a very different reaction in terms of how that think and how they feel.
"Thanks, Frank, for making it easier for us to write letters to newspapers pointing out why no one should take your 'poll of NRA members' seriously."

Do a search for YouTube "Penn and Teller" Frank Luntz to find on Luntz and Fox News Network – not very flattering. Hopefully, Fox has severed ties with Luntz. We will see.
