FOX NEWS Sunday Story about ECigs Wants Comments on Twitter

[texasgranny]

I just watched a Fox News story about the typical debate of ecigs good or bad.
Dave Briggs was the news commentator and he stated that he wanted to get
comments from viewers on their opinions about ecigs.
He wanted comments sent to his Twitter page

I don't use Twitter or know that much about it.

Hopefully some of you out there can and will give a big shout about
how great they are.

Fox and Friends Twitter....his name Dave Briggs

 

[Crumpet]

A family member just called me about this,too. I also don't know how to Twitter or if I need some kind of equipment to do it. Ha!

I may try to send him an email though. God I feel old when email is the new snail mail.

 

[jonny2hottie]

Dont have twitter either. Bump it on to others that might.

 

[Firealdo]

Don't feel bad, I am a fairly tech savvy guy and I do not understand the twitter thing either. How twitter got as big as it did is beyond me, there are much easier and better social networking venues than that imo.

Interesting - I might create a Twitter account and fool around with it a little. Anyone know how to use it?

 

[EricB]

Twitter is basically small talk. You only have 140 characters of typing to respond to tweets or for creating tweets.

I don't do Twitter either, but I looked up Briggs on the Fox News site and it says you can email him at friends@foxnews.com . Since all the show's hosts get email at that address, I'd suggest putting his name in the subject line, something like "Dave Briggs: e-cigs."

I have a twitter account and must be too old to "get it". I think it's like text messaging the world. To me, there's better communication vehicles. All you need to do is google it and set up a twitter account and post your thoughts during the day.

 

[Exylos]

been trying to email him all day, i keep getting his inbox is full message unable to deliver

 

[Placebo Effect]

I Twittered him my experience with e-cigs and he wrote a quick 'Congrats' message back to me.

His Twitter account is @foxdavebriggs

However, part of me would not recommend e-cig-forum users open up Twitter accounts specifically to message him. It would seem like too much of a concerted effort by the e-cig industry.

I sent him a message asking for a FB or e-mail link for those without Twitter.

 

[Exylos]

Well i have a twitter account already...chuckles.. But my daughter has as much luck teaching me how to use that as I do teaching her how to use DOS instead of windows.

 

[Lyndagayle]

I just sent a tweet. Hard to say much with such a small character limit. Just got to Twitter on your computer, type in @foxdavebriggs and then type a short message and hit the "Tweet" button. Very easy.

Anyone have a weblink for yesterday's Fox News segment on e-cigarettes?
If so, please post.
Also, was it a national broadcast, or was it a local Fox affiliate broadcast?

 

[Vocalek]

It was Fox and Friends, national broadcast out of New York. I happened to be tuned in when it aired, but cannot find a video segment on it. They ususally put on folks with opposing views. They had on a guy from the Legacy Foundation who kept saying how dangerous they are, against Ray Story, who did not do the best job, in my opinion, of countering the points made by the opposition.

Here's the Fox and Friends e-cig segment on YouTube:

YouTube - It took the E-Cig to show how liberals want power over you!

Thanks for posting. But, the poster titled the video, "It took the E-Cig to show how liberals want power over you!", illustrating one of many reasons I never watch Faux News.

 

[Vocalek]

That was not the Fox and Friends title of the piece. The person who posted the segment on You Tube gave it that name.

I realized that. That's why I said, "the poster titled the video". The fact remains, Faux News regulars are of that mindset.

Oh so now we're going to turn this into a political argument. Why don't you start a thread in the Outside forum, then you can rant about "Faux News" all you want. That's where these kinds of discussions belong.

+1. yea, because the other news networks have been so fair to e-cigarettes....

just a tip, as soon as someone goes into trite little labels like "faux news" it makes you no better than the thing you're attacking and most people automatically tune out.
