Most of us suspect the pollsters, but this A-hole is proud of what he did. What a pitiful person.

The headline is the Washington Post’s Ben Bradlee’s response to the charge that he used fake polls to help Walter Mondale. Bradlee’s “poll” showed Ron Reagan in trouble in his home state of California, which caused him to divert money and energy to California and likely save Walter Mondale from a fifty state wipe out.

Bradlee’s “Tough sh…t… I’m glad it cost you plenty. It’s my in-kind contribution to the Mondale campaign” response typifies the attitude of the partisan liberals masquerading as “impartial pollsters.”

Is this the same Ben Bradley that produced "60 Minutes"?

Except nothing in your link (or links from the link) has Bradlee admitting to anything other than causing Reagan to spend more in California.

Sorry.

But if the argument is truth in accuracy, you might think about using a little truth and accuracy.

Maybe you can't read, so I'll help you. He even bragged about it.
