Bill Maher accuses Frank Luntz of being the lying liar he is. [View all]

Here's proof. Among other obvious fabrications, made-up statistics, and misleading statements, he claimed Reagan's approval rating upon leaving office was 61%, the most clearly provable huge lie he told in the segment shown below.

This is what the man DOES for a living: lies and lies and lies, then lies some more, using his 'focus groups,' to manipulate low information news consumers, who take his BS assertions at face value, appealing to emotion with constant lies. Luntz is the consummate student of Edward Bernays.

He and Gingrich were the ones who instituted the Control of Language program that transformed the political landscape in the early 90s, and set the stage for 20+ years of Hillary vilification, resulting in the narrative of her untrustworthiness.

This interview with Luntz shows what a lying snake in the grass this guy his, with Maher leaving him stammering several times in search of a reasonable answer to Maher's accusations.



Luntz, btw, is being PAID by CBS. So, apparently, is Norah ODonnell, who, in between her gig there and the one at NBC, became a paid shill for various RW causes, chiefly, for-profit charter schools.
