Wrote to Scarborough last night and here's his reply.

You're Invited To Join newsVIPs



Thank you very much for your recent email. Feedback from viewers is very important to us. And we've started newsVIPs to keep in regular touch with news viewers across the country.

We are putting together a group of dedicated news viewers to provide their opinions about news. By listening to people like you who care about news, we'll be able to make sure we do the best job we can for people like you and you have a chance to be rewarded for your participation.



You are part of a select group of news viewers who are being invited to join our new opinion exchange. When you go to http://www.newsvips.com/R.aspx?a=32 and answer our first survey, you will be entered to win a cash prize of $1,000.


We need all types of news viewers, so don't worry what channels or programs you usually watch. Selected entrants will be asked to join newsVIPs. Even if you are not selected as a panelist, you are still eligible for the cash prize.

We promise that we will keep our surveys short and easy to understand and answer.

Your responses may influence what you see on the air and your privacy is guaranteed. In fact, we don't even want to know your last name (unless you are a contest winner and we need to send you the prize) and if at any point you do not want to receive any further survey requests, you will be able to unsubscribe. If selected to join newsVIPs, you will be asked to complete no more than one or two surveys a month.

So click on the link and have your voice heard.

Sincerely,
The newsVIPs Team


Write him folks and let him know he'll get lots of fan mail and listeners if he keeps on putting George and Rethugs down. Here's our chance to influence the news. And he follows Kieth to boot!

1. Anyone who e-mails MSNBC gets that response, as I did

awhile back. I've only been asked my opinion once, but it's a start.

2. Looks like just a marketing ploy to me

They don't care if you agree with Scarborough or not -- they just want your attention, to boost the ratings.

7. Same as when I wrote to Keith Olberman.. .

They've even sent me a couple of surveys, asking which stations I watch... how much do I trust any of them (lol). .

The latest one was about that damned crawl at the bottom of the screen.
