FOX News.. "most trusted"

[ChickenMan]

More 'bad' news for the Libs...

Fox is the most trusted television news network in the country, according to a new poll out Tuesday.

A Public Policy Polling nationwide survey of 1,151 registered voters Jan. 18-19 found that 49 percent of Americans trusted Fox News, 10 percentage points more than any other network.

Bad news for us all.

Any survey that would count Fox News or for that matter MSNBC as a "news network" is flawed right from the get go.

Turning to Fox for news is like using National Geographic as porn.

MSNBC doesn't even have it right, they have a republican doing their morning show! At least fox knows how to be consistent.

SHHHHH, know one is supposed to know that MSNBC has only 3 hours of left leaning commentary and just like Fox is really just another cog in the Corporate Stream Media.

I think it mainly points out the distrust with the traditional stations (ABC, CBS and NBC). Couple that with the fact that political commentary listeners/viewers on average, are three times more informed of the subjects being discussed than those who get just news. While that applies to MSNBC as well, it shows they just don't quite have the formula down yet.

Like everybody else, I have my political leanings but when I'm surfing for news the right and left bias on different sites is pretty amazing. I go to Fox to get more up to the minute news and CNN every couple of days since they seemingly don't update their online content as often. I have a huge thirst for news, so I sample a lot of sites no matter what their leanings (MSNBC, Yahoo, Google, ABC, CBS, etc.). You have to mix it up some to get something close to an objective view on a given story. My $.02.

Well stated. I subscribe to the same theory.

Good policy. I listen to Maddow for comic relief, and I enjoy Chris Matthews' energy and insight, skewed as it may be. There is just not enough substance in Olbermann, however, to tolerate his foolishness and vitriol for more than a few moments.

Matthews is, for the most part, respectful of his guests with opposing views to the extent that their point of view is allowed to be heard. Lately, the same can be said of O'Reilly and Hannity. You sure can't call Bob Beckel either conservative or moderate. I like the fact that Hannity regularly invites credible opponents, like Lanny Davis and Pat Cadell.

I also like to go to the original source, like Zogby, Cook or Rasmussen.

Olberman's such a tool....did you hear his rant after the Mass election? Sounded like a little kid who wnated to burn down a theater since he couldn't get a ticket to the premiere...what a fokking baby...no respect for that guy at all which isn't a real drop form the little amount I had before his rant....what a fokking tool....Josef Olberman...

I like Beckel although I would of course consider him moderate. Lanny Davis is a pure corporatist whore with no allegiance. Haven't heard of Pat Cadell.

[TheDancinMonarch]

Haven't heard of Pat Cadell.

Former Democrat strategist and pollster for Jimmy Carter among others.

FOX is just as much a news network as CNN. One leans right. One leans left.

Thats the great thing about America. Outisde of local news, everyone can go to the sources they wish for their news.

Conservatives can get their news from FOX, the Washington Times, the WSJ, talk radio, and the numerous conservative blogs, sites etc.

Libs can get their news from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, most major city papers, and the numerous liberal blogs and sites like the Daily Kos and Huffington Post.

And I think the "limited" number of major conservative outlets makes them look much higher. Fox is the main TV source for conservatives while liberals have 3 or 4 options. I think when you add up the liberal TV stations and compare them to fox the numbers are probably close.

Lately, FOX has been beating MSNBC and CNN combined by at least two to one. I think that Beck's tutorial on communism last week beat every other show on both cable and broadcast TV.

Someone who I cannot stand, but have to give credit to is Barney Frank. He at least has the balls to show up and fight it out when on TV. That cannot be said of many.

well I stand corrected.

Here is web site and the actual press release from the Democrat-leaning polling firm which conducted the survey upon which the Politico article is based. The conclusion found that "Fox News is the only major tv news operation that more Americans trust than distrust."

And that says quite a bit about the state of things.

[CID1990]

I watch very little television, but when I do I watch a little bit of everything. I even occasionally watch Herr Goebbels I mean Olbermann.

The state of things is that "progressives" have largely taken over the educational profession and do not tell the truth about marxist revolutionaries or the policies they advocate.

Beck makes plenty of mistakes and is often overly dramatic, but he is exactly correct in taking on the "progressive" establishment and vacuous celebrities on this subject.
