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.

Maybe that was what Rather was thinking when he alluded that even if the documents were fake, the story was true.

"Where were you during Vietnam, Dan???"

You got that right.

Why, he was right there as Saigon Bureau Chief for CBS, making sure the true stories got back home to us, wasn't he?

Good work. Thanks for the informative posts. Conservative media really needs to follow up on the exit polling story. Remember also that Terry McAullife said something like "Kerry is going to win decisively, and we'll know that early in the evening." Now how would McAullife know in advance that Kerry would appear to be winning decisively early on election eve (because exit polls showed Kerry winning decisively)? The public wants answers to these questions.

Well, tscislaw is right about VNS in this regard:

That was the service owned by the media that called the election too early in Florida in 2000.

It was NOT common knowledge that Bush tried to get to Vietnam, and that he was turned down!

The media deliberately hid that info, and deliberately interviewed (repeatedly!) the people who were lying about his service, and about how dangerous flying those early jets were: over their lifetime, just over 29% of Bush's style aircraft crashed in routine training flights.

>It was NOT common knowledge that Bush tried to get to Vietnam, and that he was turned down!

Maybe you are right. I knew that Bush volunteered and was turned down, just like I knew that he joined a high risk section of the military and that his TANG was on active service in Vietnam. Hey, I should just acknowlege that my knowlege is uncommon. Smarter than the average bear.

[Robert A Cook PE]

No.

Neither you, nor I, am "smarter" than the average bear.

[Bore? Last I herd, bears are only known for shiiting in the woods, and boars go around rooting out delicacies and valued treasures in the roots ....>) But I digrass.]

Rather, you (and I, and the others who read FreeRepublic) are instead "more informed" than the average herd animal who has chosen to merely slavishly listen to the mainstream media. And, in choosing to become more wisely informed, and thus able to informed decision, you are definitely above average.)

Once any "above average" person of average capability has the relevant facts, on average they make better decisions.

the story that young Bush and another guy approached their commander to volunteer for their TANGs Vietnam rotation, was common knowlege.

It is HERE, but not "out there."

Don't forget, WE know more than THEY do.
