1. Fox could not be biased enough to offset every other station/channel.
2. Debates do little because they are scripted. If you want a good debate, do a true call in debate where the candidates do not know the question ahead, they must answer in less than 100 words, and the called has a right to ask one follow up question to each answer.
3. No and no, and any text message poll will therefore not be representative of the 215 million Americans. Text message polls are overwhelmingly an under 30 thing, and while a very important group, not the largest and most diverse group out there. Let's not forget also that a poll to have any statistical validity must be able to prove a sample that matches the population within statistical norms. Without that proof, the "poll" is a for entertainment purposes only.
