The John Ziegler Show on KFI has revealed the identify of the questioners of last night's state-wide broadcast forum on NBC and Telemundo.

The forum included Arnold, Barbar Kerr (teacher's union) and Fabian Nunez (Dem legislator).

Two of the questioners for Arnold are members Democrat central committees and one is a Democrat Congressional candidate!

This forum allegedly included an independently selected balanced audience.

Breaking now. Streaming audio available here . Also, the show will be available "on-demand" through their free podcast service.

[newzjunkey]

Are you listening?

[Torie]

Smart move by the opposition.

[clee1]

And this surprises anyone???

[ElkGroveDan]

Two of the questioners for Arnold are members Democrat central committees and one is a Democrat Congressional candidate!

So are his wife and half of his staff. What's the big deal?

[EagleUSA]

No surprise and I am sure, Arnold knew he was being thrown into the pit of Demosnakes...the union scum and liberals that have a death grip on California.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I knew something didn't look right. I watched it on KNBC Los Angeles last night.

[newzjunkey]

This is a very important election. If you saw or heard one plant screaming back at him, "You're wrong! You're wrong!," interrupting him, making anti-prop speeches in the form of soft-ball questions to the union and legislative representative you wouldn't be such an ass in dismissing this.

The press hosts specifically said this was an on-the-level forum. It wasn't. Even after learning of the identity of the radical and rude questioners they have said nothing on their own newscasts.

Arnold Schwarzenegger TV questioners included three Democratic activists

[ElkGroveDan]

This is a very important election.

Yes, thank you. I know. I was born at night, but not last night.

[newzjunkey]

Arnold knew he was being thrown into the pit of Demosnakes

Doesn't matter what Arnold "knew" or suspected or was ready for. What matters if what the viewers took away. The media lied about the balance of the forum.

Robert Law (Long?) of KNBC was embarrassed these "hacks" got through the screening process and has apologized to the governor's campaign. Apparently KNBC paid some $20,000 to the company who put together the audience.

[newzjunkey]

Perhaps you were born tonight. ;)

[newzjunkey]

Thanks for the link. This is breaking news even if the moderators don't think so since KNBC has apparently *NOT* covered this scandal on their newscast tonight.

Doesn't matter they apologized to the campaign (KNBC has) and are "investigating" since the damage is done. They need to do this. They and Telemundo *need* to correct the record.

The COVER-UP is breaking news.

[newzjunkey]

Please let us know if KNBC mentions this on their local newscasts tonight and admits the scandal.

[newzjunkey]

"Cultural Access Group" who put this audience together has been putting together a task force for Fabian Nunez, one of the two Democrats involved in the forum last night!

[SierraWasp]

Perhaps you've become oblivious to the obvious... (grin)

Now your thread is in the "ghetto" as you put it... (chat)

[SierraWasp]

Wull dang! That's funny!! You musta lobbied the Mods and got it redeemed from the Ghetto!!!

Congratulations!

[Michael.SF.]

Smart move by the opposition.

Do you really think so?

Lying, staging a phony Q&A, packing the house with your own people, telling the public it was an honest, open balanced debate, not identifying who the people were or their connection with the California Democratic committee.

You call this 'smart'?

I call it contemptible politics at its worst and possibly illegal.

[Michael.SF.]

Please let us know if KNBC mentions this on their local newscasts tonight and admits the scandal.

I was listening to the KFI show while here in LA area. NBC did not mention it on their news broadcast, but apparently have issued a formal apology.

[CyberAnt]

And .. when the public sees this ganging up of democrats against Arnold .. it should galvanize the conservatives even more.

The media's already trying to put out there that the measures that Arnold is supporting are all failing in the polls. That could be disinformation - simply by weighting the poll to get the result they wanted.

I've already voted. I got polled tonight by NBC. I'm quite sure they did not like my answers, but it was an automated poll.
