He has distributed tens of thousands of copies of the Constitution throughout the district, including one to each high school senior. This September, he said, he plans to go to high schools and teach the Constitution personally in the district.

The candidate leading the Florida GOP primary to determine who will take on Rep. Alan Grayson, the Democrat who represents the Orlando-based district, is none other than Grayson himself, according to a poll paid for by his campaign. Grayson is a freshman congressman who has drawn scorn from the GOP and has quickly built a nationwide following of progressives.


None other than a Huff Post.

That right there lost all credibility in the article

I'm glad he's toned down some of his rhetoric. I now believe he has a good chance of winning reelection.

Lost credibility? How so? Hufpost reported, accurately, that Grayson's poll was commissioned and paid for by his campaign. It reported the sample size and the firm that conducted the poll, and even implied that the poll lacks crediblity for those very reasons leaving the the reader to judge the credibility of the poll itself. Frankly, I don't know what more a credible news source would need to do to. I doubt that Fauxnews would be as thorough in it's reporting.
