Walter Moore for L.A. Mayor
Visit Mayor4u.comFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (2/23/05) FROM WALTER MOORE:
Here's the latest on the local media bias and news "blackout" on my campaign:
We now know why the L.A. Times telephone polls are so out-of-sync with our own surveys: not only do does the L.A. Times OMIT my name from the list of candidates they ask about, but if you even try to vote for me in their poll, their pollster will tell you I'm not a candidate!
We got a call at campaign headquarters today from a supporter who had just been called an L.A. Times pollster, whose name was Ted Werner. The pollster, Werner, had asked my supporter whether she preferred Alarcon, Hahn, Hertzberg, Parks or Villaraigosa for mayor. The supporter, naturally, said that she didn't want any of those candidates, she preferred me, Walter Moore. Guess how the pollster replied? "He is not a candidate." My supporter told Werner to look at the ballot, where, of course, my name appears. Werner said he didn't have a ballot. That's right: the L.A. Times pollsters don't include me in their list, and when someone mentions my name, they claim, falsely, that I'm not even a candidate!
My outraged supporter called our campaign headquarters to report this sham poll. My campaign manager then called the L.A. Times to verify their polling procedure. My campaign manager spoke with an L.A. Times employee named Susan Pinchus, whose number is . Pinchus CONFIRMED that the poll does NOT include my name. Pinchus admitted that she herself was the one who decided ONLY to include the names of my five opponents. Did I mention her number is ? Perhaps you would like to tell Pinchus yourself that you support my candidacy, so she can add your vote to her completely unscientific poll.
Pinchus also did not believe that I overwhelming won the vote of KABC listeners after the big debate last week. Maybe she'll believe it if she hears it from you; she doesn't seem to want to read it from KABC's own website. Then again, at the L.A. Times, they don't bother to read the names on the ballot either, do they? They just make up whatever they want the facts to be, and ignore all evidence to the contrary, it seems!
People, the L.A. Times is a joke. It would be funny, except it's misleading voters into thinking they have to settle for career politicians. Don't be misled or discourage by anything you read in it.
Walter Moore
