Fox News is the most trusted television outlet for news.

A Quinnipiac poll of 1286 registered voters released Monday shows that Fox News is the most trusted television outlet for news. Fox News earned the trust of 29% of those asked which network they trusted the most. MSNBC came in dead last at 7%. The once legendary broadcast networks, CBS News, NBC News, and ABC News flamed out at 10%, 10%, and 8%, respectively.

Just so you know, truth draws listeners/watchers

People do not like being lied to

Hence, the ratings

You're own reply speaks for itself.

This can only be laughed at... for a while.
When one is done laughing the feeling of hopelessness crawls on to you as you realize that this is accually how retarded people are.

Stage 3, ill go back to whatever i was doing before and keep having my constatly confirmed view of the general population as morons.


Good luck, have fun.

Interesting poll. I didn't try to look into its methodology or anything though.

Relevant to Speakers Corner is this part:

Quote

In the comparison chart, FOX News is definitely the Republican choice as 58 percent of GOP voters say they trust FOX the most, while 13 percent turn to CNN, with 7 percent each for NBC and CBS, 5 percent for ABC and 2 percent for MSNBC.

Only 3 percent of Democrats trust FOX the most, with 32 percent for CNN, 15 percent for NBC, 14 percent each for CBS and MSNBC and 8 percent for ABC.

It's the old divide and conquer issue like in some elections:

Except for the Republican FOX worshippers, news organizations aren't trusted all that much so none gets many votes, with the vote split across many alternatives. That leaves FOX averaging out to be the "most trusted."

It shows how many nutters are out there!



(I'll note that the poll also gets into the degree of trust for news organizations. Even for Republicans and FOX, only 35% said they trusted FOX "A Great Deal". Numbers for others and other news organizations were always less. People in general don't have high trust in news organizations.)

Exactly. I've posted on this before. The people will basically answer like they would a popularity contest, choosing the outlet they happen to watch the most. Fox is the only very-conservative major outlet on TV; the rest are either liberal or moderate. So the conservatives vote for their 1 option, while the mods and libs split their votes. Statistical illusions.

It's also much like the "splitting the vote" effect in elections. If you have a strong independent candidate, he'll hurt the Republican candidate if he's also conservative, or will hurt the Democratic candidate if he's also liberal or if he's very moderate. (For example, Perot's candidacy probably hurt GHW Bush's re-election campaign and helped Clinton's campaign in 1992.)

Nice try, Marc. Your usual fail , but nice try.

What can I say? 30% of the population are gullible and well below average in intelligence. They will believe literally anything told to them that supports their pre-existing beliefs.

Indeed, liberals strive to be accurate. They can even spell "absolutely" correctly and put periods at the end of sentences.

Typical liberal response. Picking on spelling, grammar and punctuation errors when they have no argument to win.

I love when people throw that out there.
Communication is difficult when one side cannot get their message across clearly so that the rest of us understand it.
There are a few here who make it almost impossible to comprehend their opinions....so....
It certainly helps.

From the context, it apparently means "They don't agree with me".

I really get tired of people who, rather than discuss the topic, throw a label at the other side as justification to dismiss their point. It is intellectual laziness.

My argument is in post#2 of this thread. Those who can read AND comprehend would have known that.

"Liberal" is like "climate change." It means different things depending on context but people will fight about how wrong the other is.
