Breitbart ^ | 29 Jan 2016 | PATRICK HOWLEY

Fox News used a pollster to host a pro-Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% focus group after Thursday night’s Republican debate, despite the fact that the pollster actually had Rubio as a client.

Pollster Frank Luntz got significant airtime to direct a post-debate focus group that unsurprisingly was very favorable to Rubio, the GOP establishment pick in the primary race.

I knew Fox and Toupee Luntz were pumping up Rubio right away. Was obvious.

Rubio needs to get off the Red Bull during debates.

Luntz was on TV last night, did not bother to watch. His is a “change the channel” presence.

The fact FNC put him back on in place of a pretty face substitute for him, speaks volumes. FNC is now out for blood and in full jbush rehab.

I’m SHOCKED! Not. Luntz’s focus groups have always been at odds with reality.

I saw this, and it was so transparent it was painful. Fox News is the enemy.

Luntz can get a focus group to give any answer you want to pay for, he emails questionnaires to all potential participants before the group is to meet so he controls the outcome. ?Fair & Balanced? You decide
