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.

Warren Mitofsky is the director of interactive communications research.
Warren was the director of the CBS News and Election unit, and
started the CBS/New York Times Poll in 1975. He was the founder of the Voter News Service and has been president of both AAPOR and NCPP.
Warren Mitofsky, a projection godfather and the man behind the curtains at both CBS News and CNN on Election Night.
NBC used the VNS data to project Gore the winner. Mitofsky directed CBS and CNN to do the same minutes later. Mitofsky accepts blame for making the mistake.
******
Warren Mitofsky says that two polls on whether people believed Clinton had sexually assaulted (or raped) Juanita Broderick had different results because Fox's question was "loaded" but CNN's was not.
******
There are other reasons polls may tilt slightly toward Democrats. Warren Mitofsky, who developed exit polling for CBS News in the 1960s, believes Democrats are more likely to respond to media polls than are Republicans, who may distrust the "liberal" news media.
******
CBS went back to Warren Mitofsky who was by then a successful political consultant.
******
Speaking at a public panel discussion last week on "The Press and the Presidency: Who Picks the Candidates?" national political analysts Warren Mitofsky and Robert Teeter and journalists Richard Berke of the New York Times and Tom Hannon of CNN concurred that the media increasingly wields greater influence in how presidential nominees are chosen.
Mitofsky also worked on 34 U.S. Senate races, 11 governor's races, and a handful of referendums.
******
Warren J. Mitofsky, president of New York-based pollster Mitofsky International, Inc., wrote in the June/July issue of Public Perspective that 'there is no valid purpose to the current Internet enterprise.'
The main concern is that Internet users do not accurately reflect all Americans since they still tend to be wealthy, educated, white, urban and male.

McCain spokesman Dan McLagan said, "What's happening is the Bush team has hit the panic button. They're throwing everything but the kitchen sink at us, and I'm expecting the sink any day." Michael Traugott, president of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, said, "They breed cynicism about politics and we also believe they contribute to declining response rates for polls, just as telemarketing does. Push polls are not polls at all, just an invidious form of negative campaigning disguised as data collection." Veteran political pollster Warren Mitofsky of New York said the questions asked by Bush's Houston research firm "don't seem like research questions to me." He said that push polling erupted periodically and was difficult to prove.

I think I see your point, but if I've not seen it before it's breaking news to me. Honest, I'm not trying to be critical or take your point to task, in fact quite the contrary. Free Republic is a critical part of my keeping up with the world because I don't subscribe to a newspaper. I guess it would behoove me to get better acquainted with the in's and out's of the service so that I'm not as dependent on multiple postings and out of subject postings. Maybe next week!

I have never understood how lefties think. they constantly try the Goebbels school of Journalism. Tell a lie long and loud enough and people believe it. but what they are really doing is lying to themselves. Every shrink in the world would tell you living in a delusional world is not healthy. How many times do the media outlets have to be sucker punched before they wake up and say maybe we shouldn't pay attention to polls.

I want articles and investigations of what happened, by whom, and what the implications were... and a commitment from the MSM to stop this crap. Are they really so lazy that they cannot figure out for themselves what people might be voting on?

Are they really so lazy that they cannot figure out for themselves what people might be voting on? I still cannot believe that ther eare people that think the MSM can't figure something out. The MSM is made up of hard line International Socialists, they are doing whatever they can to get power in the United States. In other words they do have it figured out, they just think that they are right and that the ends justifies the means! They are not going to stop, just try and figure out a way to fool the people. Look how many did vote for Kerry.

If they want to publish exit polls, they should do it until all of the polling places are closed and done for the day. Then publish the exit polls while the precinct counts come in.
