Luntz Conflicts Rattle Los Angeles Times

“Well-known Republican pollster Frank Luntz’s work is causing headaches for the Los Angeles Times’ newsroom,” the Daily Beast reports

“Recent revelations that he conducted undisclosed, behind-the-scenes partisan consulting while also doing unpaid work for the paper came as little surprise to staffers, who have previously raised concerns about conflicts-of-interest in his work.”

“The embarrassment also opened up an old wound within the newsroom, where Luntz’s public-opinion surveys had previously been the subject of internal tension and concerns voiced by newspaper staffers.”
