Thank you Nate Silver! A PR guy is pushing a bogus poll. Who woulda thought?

“The poll was conducted by a firm connected with the Black Rock Group, which bills itself as a “strategic communications and public affairs firm” and whose chief spokesman/strategist, Carl Forti, just so happens to be the spokesman for this polling firm that nobody has ever heard of and just so happens (as David Dayen dutifully reports) to be the spokesman for a big pharma lobbying group that’s pushed the death panels meme and just so happens to be the lead PR flak for Pajamas Media.”
