Fox News viewers vote via texting
Cory Bergman January 24th, 2007
Last night, Fox News asked viewers to use their cell phones to vote whether President Bush did an excellent, average or poor job with the State of the Union speech. Fox received 90,000 text messages with, ahem, 85 percent voting “excellent.” TVNewser reports that similar text voting may become a regular feature on Hannity & Colmes.

Damn. Cheney’s thumbs must be exhausted.

Nop, Cheney is fine, no one got anything exhausted, the poll or vote is predetermined, not the reflection of audiance, but the reflection of what fox want you to believe. As said by Fox: we report (with fake news), you decide.

I don’t know the lady’s name on Hannity, but when she called some senators & congressmen “media whores” I thought there was a bit of irony in the statement.

Blimey. And this is news?
Sky News here in the UK has been asking people to vote on issues every day since 1999. Not with clunky mobile phones - but with the satellite remote control (think DirecTV but better).
We get Fox News here too, but with half the ads (instead, we’re “treated” to some rolling headlines and crappy music while we wait for programming to resume).
