Fair and balanced reporting in regard to the 2012 Presidential Election.

The Issue

Historically, its been difficult to determine market interest for any product or service. But the internet has provided concrete tools for eradicating the innate subjectivity of journalism, enabling the biggest to smallest of reporting outlets the opportunity to measure and act upon their viewing public's most obvious interests.
As arguably the largest media outlet on the planet, with the most appropriate slogan, fair and balanced, Fox News can lead the pack in objective reporting of candidates and issues for the upcoming election!  Fox News is poised to set a new standard in fair and balanced reporting, in a measurable way.

We the viewing pubic, call on Rupert Murdoch of Fox News, to immediately implement fair and balanced reporting procedures. To better inform the public on our universal issue, the 2012 United States Presidential Election, we implore Fox News to report on the candidates in proportion to quantifiable results. This proportion can be applied either directly or inversely; the most information on our least favorite candidate at the time (hour, day or week) and proceed along that proportional continuum. Or, the most reporting air time (ie., name listed among candidates on the screen, number of times candidates name is mentioned by a reporter, or picture is up on the screen) can be given to the candidate with the most 'votes, likes, percentage points' a more obvious model.  This data can be easily obtained and adhered to, and even measured!

Option 1 - Rasmussen Reports or similar. Give air time to the candidate Rasmussen (or its ilk) indicates the voters most want. Or along the most recent state's primary results, in proportional order, of course.

Option 2 - SEO data analysis - Which candidate receives the least search queries? The most? Report information in proportion to that which we seek.

Option 3 - This is my favorite option Rupert!  FOX NEWS could simply follow the model set by the banner headline Tracker 2012, on its OWN website!! As of 7:30am on Saturday morning, Jan 14, 2012, the Fox News Fair and Balanced 2012 Election Tracker (see pic) presents an ideal paradigm, and its already in place! Your viewers care and are responding.  But I scrolled through five new pages of headlines before I landed on an article with a short paragraph three quarters of the way through about our favorite candidate at that point in time. So to base it on your own results, either choose we are ignorant and give us more information on the candidates with the least favorable showing. (fair enough, as viewers we may NEED to learn more) Or provide us the most information on our most favorite candidate and run it down PROPORTIONALLY through each candidate. Its easily measured, and your controversial slogan can be objectively upheld!

In each of these three choices you are presented with a way of factually, measurably, and in real time, providing your viewers with PRECISELY the information they seek, not what you think or suspect or wish your viewers may want, we can now let you know.   Take the guesswork out of your market analysis. Your data is at your own fingertips, simply the statistical analysis. Then it will be in black and white and CLREALY fair and balanced.

I call on Rupert Murdoch to practice fair and balanced journalism by giving proportional air time to the candidates receiving the most votes via a poll, seo data analysis, or Fox's own 2012 Tracker results.

Thank you,
