We've previously reported on John Ziegler's film purporting to prove that the ABC miniseries "The Path to 9/11" is being censored by "the left," and its false claim that the miniseries told the "real history" of events leading up to 9/11.

Before this past election, which political party controlled both houses of congress? 201. Which candidate could not say how many houses they own? 202. Which candidate said they could see Russia from their...

For those of you who want to have some fun, wander over to 538.com. It discusses John Ziegler's "How Obama Got Elected," where Ziegler asked voters to identify certain positions with certain candidates. He then concludes that Obama voters were misled by the media, based on their results. He asks the voters to identify supposedly true statements such as "Obama won his first election by...

I had the chance this afternoon to speak with John Ziegler , a documentary filmmaker and former radio talk show host who built the website HowObamaGotElected.com and is promoting a forthcoming documentary of the same name. Ziegler was responsible for commissioning a Zogby International survey of Barack Obama supporters, which took the form of a multiple choice political knowledge test,...

I stumbled across the interview of John Ziegler by Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com regarding his “poll” of Obama supporters and their supposed knowledge of “major issues” that occurred during the campaign. After reading the interview transcript and looking through the poll results over on Zogby, I can only conclude that John Ziegler is an American [...]

You may be as sick to death of Nate Silver, he of the 538 and the accurate election predictions and the sudden crippling ubiquity , but this has been linked around a bit, so I gave it a read. And I was so impressed with the skills of Mr Silver that I chose to read it twice.
