Poll: Fox Is The Most Trusted Name In TV News
Eric Kleefeld | January 26, 2010, 3:08PM


A new national survey from Public Policy Polling (D) finds an amazing result: The most trusted name in TV news, the only one that more Americans trust than distrust, is...Fox!

Respondents were asked whether they did or did trust the various news outlets. Fox turned out to be the only one with a positive score, at 49% yes to 37% no. CNN was at 39%-41%, NBC 35%-44%, CBS 32%-46%, and ABC 41%-46%. The pollster's analysis finds a high level of polarization, with 74% of Republicans trusting Fox, and no more than 23% of Republicans trusting anybody else. Smaller majorities of Democrats trust all the other outlets and distrust Fox. Independents register negative ratings for all the news outlets, but Fox comes the closest at 41%-44%.

"A generation ago you would have expected Americans to place their trust in the most neutral and unbiased conveyors of news," said PPP president Dean Debnam, in the polling memo. "But the media landscape has really changed and now they're turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear."

3. This is probably the biggest reason this country is not progressing..
and may never progress. The ignorant masses are easily charmed by the cute and sweet talking liars. Very very sad indeed.

8. The last line says it all - people turn toward the outlets that tell them what
they want to hear. That's Repubs for you - truthiness is more important than truth.

9. It's a meaningless poll
Edited on Tue Jan-26-10 06:55 PM by Onlooker
Basically, all the right-wingers trust Fox, but the left-wingers have no equivalent, so we divide our votes among the others or don't trust any of them.
