New Viewer Interaction Tools Allow Pundits To Pander To Audience In Real Time (VIDEO)

In what may be the best satire to date of the on-air dials some 24-hour-networks use to judge viewers reactions to politicians and pundits, the "Onion" shows us a world in which talking heads have thrown what little is left of their dignity out the window in favor of viewer-love.

Oh wow. Ha! The Onion is classic!
I've started listening to AM radio in the last two weeks. One of the syndicated right wing radio hosts (I don't remember the name, sorry) is supposed to have Frank Luntz on their show next week in order to poll people.
**Frank Luntz invented the real time polling ticker thing at the bottom the screen in the video. He's famous for creating more scientific (repeatable) methods for creating propaganda. Seriously.

As a matter of fact, I would LOVE to see this gadget on Rush Limbaugh's show. I wonder if it will ever leave the bottom :)

That is "real" America today. Say anything that you think the people want to hear! This is too funny and a wake up call to many, I'm sure!
