Fox - the least trusted name in news
 

Not only has poor Glenn Beck had the New York City broadcast of his radio show cancelled due to poor ratings effective yesterday, now Fox News has come in last on the "most trusted in news" list.

amazing you watch and follow FOX more than me.

Even on that bad leg you want us all to pitch in for. Keep limping the dream!

I have to consider the source on this poll. This is from a democratic pollster isn't it?

It's Wall Street Journal endorsed..doesn't get much more right than that

The headline should be -

PBS & Fox have higher trust numbers than CBS, NBC, CNN & ABC !!

and GBBob :rolleyes: :p wouldn't that be 2007 ?

"The Wall Street Journal ranked PPP as one of the top swing state pollsters in the country last year. (11-6-08 WSJ)"


And come on - who the hell is watching PBS ?



The CW rules :tro:

The Democrat's?

all the cool kids. you should try it.

they have plenty of conservative commentators and no ads. you get to hear issues discussed calmly from multiple points of view.

stories are done long form so what's presented in a clipped sound bite on a commercial station might be a 7-8 minute feature with multiple reporters on the news hour.

if you like watching 22 minutes of ads during your hour of news keep watching whatever you do now. be careful if you do watch though. once you've tried commercial free, it's really hard to go back.

Or you could step into the 21st century and get a DVR.

you're still only getting 38 minutes on actual news every broadcast hour.

You just hear voices making up random things in your head, and let them out, don't you?

They're going after Glenn's careless mouth

But, but, but ... that's hard, you have to think and pay attention and everything! :(

Terroristic threats to Gov. Jerry Brown
 

LA Times reports police looking into this against Brown, too. Guess the police are starting to take all this stuff more seriously - or maybe just letting the public know they are on it more?

I would much rather listen to Fox than any of the other networks. Yes I also enjoy listening to Glen Beck and Bill OReilly.

really? i'd have never guessed!

If so I think they may be a bit back logged finishing up on all the Sarah Palin threats.

My lord as kids we're all asked if someone told you to jump off a bridge would you do it? Suddenly now, we have adults who are listening? I thought the Tuscon killer had no political motives at least not from the right and yet the media continues as if that is the story.:zz:

BTW what ever happened to the show "Crossfire"? Bad name?

They polled 632 people. That's right, 632. Over 3 days. Was this done on their lunch hour? Margin of error at +/- 3.9%. Kind of meaningless in my opinion.

More people by itself doesn't mean greater accuracy - it matters who is being sampled. You could have a far more accurate poll with only 30 people. Add in your margin of error when reviewing.

I'd love to see a poll on how good - or poor - the average American is at recognizing the difference between opinion and fact. I think critical reasoning is a nearly lost skill and the results of that poll would be shockingly scary.

When the fringes see an impending armageddon, and think that a good planning solution is giving someone money now, on the promise that during the armageddon that company will provide regular deliveries of freeze-dried food to save their families ... well, "there's one born every minute" has probably turned into one born every second, and dropped on their head.

I hardly think that Beck is responsible for the comments of posters on his site. That'd be like saying that Steve Byk is responsible for all the posts on this site.
