“...The British press... [claimed that Tony] Blair was simply Bush's poodle - a favorite phrase, bewilderingly popular, although it made no sense - and that he was ignoring the will of the British people. Considering the hacks had spent Blair's first six years in office condemning him for relying on focus groups and opinion polls for his policies - in other words, paying attention to nothing but the will of the people, or at least their whims - that seemed a little rich to me, but as I said, logical consistency has never figured highly in the British media's scale of values.” PeopleYearsFirstsLittlesMadeSaidValuesAttentionOpinionRichFocusGroupsMediaPolicyOfficeSixPressesBritishScalesPay AttentionJournalistPhrasesLogicalConsideringConsistencyPollsWhimHacksBlairCondemningPoodlesOpinion PollsFocus Groups Author:Larry King
