    Outrageous. How come CNN, Sky News and Fox News weren't on that list?

    Because it is an Irish voting system.

    I suppose you could put Sky News on as they have an Irish broadcast. I'm sure all two viewers will vote for it. :v:

    The nominee's were voted for by members of boards.ie (the link in the original post.) Nominations only closed on the 1st of Feb.

    CNN and Fox wouldn't have been allowed though; they're American; UK is one thing but US is just too far removed for a proper vote to be had.

    "Because it is an Irish voting system."

    And that's why the British Broadcasting Corporation are listed?- Makes sense! - You proved your point well!

    "The nominee's were voted for by members of boards.ie (the link in the original post.) Nominations only closed on the 1st of Feb."

    That's a better explanation. Thank you for that and sorry for the misunderstanding.
