As a result Zieglers email inbox has been flooded with profanity-laced emails accusing him of racism bigotry and hate mongering. (He submitted 25 of these emails for my review but many of them are unprintalbe.) Whoever started this sight sic is a racist!" one email sent from someone identified as Andrea Gurule said. What? You couldnt handle a black man beating out a white man?! The man is qualified. More so than John McCain. Regardless Hes your president. Get over it!" Ziegler argues that he never intended to make Obama supporters look bad. Rather they could not answer the questions because the media misinformed them throughout the election. He admits his interviews were not scientific" but he did commission Zogby to conduct a poll asking the same questions. The Zogby poll found 57.4 percent of Obama supporters could not correctly say which party controls Congress. Only 6.2 percent of those same supporters failed to identify Palin as having a pregnant daughter.See poll results here.
The Zogby results were incredible and they were credible and the vast majority of enws media ignored it because it was their own malfeasance that created a massive amount of ignorance" he said. Ziegler is now planning to commission a similar poll to assess the political intelligence of those who voted for GOP presidential candidate John McCain. Zogby however is refusing to do it. After receiving a great amount of backlash from Obama supporters Zogby said will not be conducting the McCain poll. I believe there was value in the poll we did" John Zogby told the Politico. I also believe it was not our finest hour. This slipped through the cracks. It came out critical only of Obama voters." Ziegler said he didnt originally conduct such poll for McCain voters because his documentary is focusing on how Obama got elected not McCain. He will likely include the McCain poll results in the film and along with more detail about the outcry over his original poll. All this controversy proves the overriding premise" that the media helped Obama get elected Ziegler said. Amanda Carpenter is National Political Reporter for Townhall.com.
