The left can never let go of their myths, regardless of the proof to the contrary.
Alger Hiss was innocent, McCarthy was wrong, Bush Stole the 2000 election, Kerry was a war hero, etc. etc.
The difference between Senator McCarthy and Zogby is that there WERE communists infiltrated in the government yet Zogby was wrong about the electorate in 2004.
The media swallowed their own BS.
Zogbyism led to a number of completely falsified "stories" being given prime time exposure designed to hurt President Bush and the Iraq war. The "National Guard" memos, the Mirror's photos of a British soldier urinating on "Iraqi prisoners", and the internet porn photos that ran in newspapers as "evidence" that US troops were "raping" "Iraqis". There were other such fabricated news items.
Pravada engaged in Zogbyism (then AND now). The American media reacted to internet exposure of their lies pretty much as I suppose Pravada did to the first outside competition in Russia.
EDITORS AND ANCHORS MUST BE FIRED over the way they acted this year. DO NOT FORGET how close they came to stealing the election. At 7PM CST on election night, every network talking head was talking about how "the economy" doomed President Bush's re-election campaign and put Kerry in office. Unfortunately 60 million voters ignored the script and told the media establishment "HELL NO" to the idea of Auxillary President Kerry.
