GUESS WHO DID THE EXIT POLLS...
Mitofsky International ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 4:11:18 AM PST by paudio

Mitofsky International is a survey research company founded by Warren J. Mitofsky in 1993. Its primary business is conducting exit polls for major elections around the world. It does this work exclusively for news organizations. Mitofsky has directed exit polls and quick counts since 1967 for almost 3,000 electoral contests in United States, Mexico, Russia and the Philippines.

....

From 1967 to 1990, Mitofsky was executive director of the CBS News election and survey unit, and was an executive producer of its election night broadcasts. He conducted the first exit polls for CBS in 1967, and developed the projection and analysis system used successfully by CBS and Voter News Service. He started the CBS News/New York Times Poll in 1975 and directed it for CBS for its first 15 years.

After last night they should scrap exit polling altogether.This would force the pundits to actually look at the incoming data.It would delay some state calls because no exit polls to compare with actual returns but accuracy will improve remarkably.

"MI’s president, Warren Mitofsky started and directed Voter Research & Surveys from 1990 to 1993, which was the election consortium of the four major television networks, ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC. It is now known as Voter News Service (VNS)."

So much for is "accuracy". His media bias was showing AGAIN.

No, they were reporting from the exit polls, but this company was conducting them.
They were looking to hire Ohioans for exit polling back in August.

No. The consortium of six MSM (FOX News Channel, CBS, NBC, CNN and the Associated Press) give the contract to these two 'polling' companies to do the job.
