Jon Stewart Blasts Frank Luntz & Fox News' 'Messaging' Problem (VIDEO)

http://www.hulu.com/watch/453777

Fox blamed the GOP's loss with a "messaging" problem, but Stewart hardly could believe that they lacked the means to properly get the message out. "What Republicans need is some kind of 24 hour, 7 day a week perpetual messaging refinement and distribution resource, preferably one cloaked in the trappings of journalistic authority but without any of its ethical constraints," he joked. (I KNOW!! We'll call it "FerretNews" !)

Stewart pointed out that Luntz has a long history of distorting policy messaging to fit Fox's narrative, such as turning the "single-payer" healthcare option into the "government option," and admitting that "the American people don't care about what the size of government is" as he encourages Republicans to move away from "smaller government" and over to "more efficient government." "The Church of Scientology called, they want their deliberately obfuscating words back," Stewart quipped.

Too funny... :rofllol :lol:

And you can find Luntz's "rebranded" words-and-phrases in virtually every Rightie post from the World-Wide-Echo-Chamber here on a daily basis...

Only makes sense to frame the message with the words you want. Pollsters can change a poll results just by changing the wording.

For example, instead of common sense gun control, call it citizen disarmament. Assualt weapon? Change it to personal defense weapon. That is what the DHS called their latest purchase of M-16's.

Yes... It's nice to see that even the NRA can't sucker people with higher-than-double-digit-IQ's forever:

Well, it appears that the NRA is now less popular than warts .

According to a new PPP poll, the NRA’s position on gun control has become so toxic that voters view NRA support as a reason not to support a candidate

The latest PPP survey, found that 39% say they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who had the NRA’s support to just 26% who say they’d be more likely to …

I dunno. I could be wrong but I think it has something to do with how screwy Wayne LaPierre is. I mean, you can see "whacko" camped out in his eyes.

Yes, I've seen what words like "whacko", "Neanderthal", "War-on-Women" did to Todd Aiken and Richard Mourdock... :rofllol

See, once again using incorrect terms. Aiken isn't a Neanderthal, closer to Homo Hoblis.

What's good for Luntz, FauxNews, the GOTP'ers and the Neanderthals, is good for the Machine that just wiped up the floor with the GOTP.
