Poll: Fox Most Trusted Political News Source
Poll: Fox Most Trusted Political News Source
By Don Irvine | May 20, 2011 Liberals received some more bad news this week as a new Suffolk University poll revealed that Fox News is the most trusted political news source among those surveyed. FOX News – 28% CNN – 18% Undecided -12% NBC – 10% Other -10% MSNBC — 7% ABC — 6% CBS — 6% C-SPAN — 3% For CNN the poll was a little bit of good news at a time the network is struggling with it’s primetime lineup, and after they received a black-eye this week for omitting former New York governor and current CNN host Eliot Spitzer from a story on political sex scandals. The news wasn’t so good for MSNBC which finished a distant third to its cable news brethren with just 7% of respondents saying that they trusted the liberal cable news network. It’s true that part of the explanation for these results is that the only network that conservatives find their viewpoint fairly represented is on the Fox News Channel, but maybe airing all that one-sided programming bashing conservatives isn’t so good for the other networks after all. http://www.aim.org/don-irvine-blog/p...ign=be1ee5a025 |

CNN, Fox, Local TV "news", I don't like any of them.
Too much opinion and scandal chasing. Not much of it is objective journalism.

FOX may have its flaws, but I'm delighted that they're the most watched and trusted cable news network. Of course I have a conservative bias, but is there any network which will give you the conservative point of view? And how many networks are there with a liberal bias? I can think of at least five offhand.

Phil, it is about reporting the truth. I find Faux to be one of the worst. Don't ask me to tell you one that does not lie.

What has Fox lied about?

Objective reporting in which the reporter stifles his own bias to bring facts, not propaganda and agenda - that's the way it's supposed to be. CNN and Fox both fall way short of the standard, although I do believe CNN has a tad more of a sneering superiority complex.
