I interviewed SMU professor Rita Kirk who sold the gismo to CNN. Read what she said and also find out what what a former Gallup pollster says about the “junk science” provided by CNN’s “Audience Reaction Meter.” The article by David W. Moore asks, “Should Americans really care what 32 people from Ohio think?” http://www.stinkyjournalism.org/latest-journalism-news-updates-136.php Note: CNN focus group members could read numbers they selected 1-100 on their audience reaction meters; but TV viewers could only see squiggly lines and are left to guess, at best, approximate numerical values. The speed of spoken words occurred at a much faster rate than the slow wave of colored lines in the graphic. So bottom line: the CNN excitement over the "second by second" data inputs mean little to nothing for home viewers starring at the screen.
