    Default Poll: Fox Most Trusted News for Americans

    I wonder if this poll will be reported on CNN, MSNBC, and Headline News?


    Poll: Fox Most Trusted News for Americans

    Sunday, January 13, 2008 3:05 PM


    Fox News has supplanted CNN as the 'most trusted' news source for Americans, a new nationwide poll finds.


    The poll conducted by Sacred Heart University, found that the most trusted national TV news organizations, for accurate reporting, in declining order included: Fox News (27.0%), CNN (14.6%), and NBC News (10.90%). These were followed by ABC News (7.0%), local news (6.9%), CBS News (6.8%) MSNBC (4.0%), PBS News (3.0%), CNBC (0.6%) and CBN (0.5%).


    In 2003, CNN led Fox News on “trust most for accurate reporting” 23.8% to 14.6%.


    The Sacred Heart University Poll also found significantly declining percentages of Americans saying they believe all or most of media news reporting.


    In the current national poll, just 19.6% of those surveyed could say they believe all or most news media reporting. This is down from 27.4% in 2003. Just under one-quarter, 23.9%, in 2007 said they believe little or none of reporting while 55.3% suggested they believe some media news reporting.


    “The fact that an astonishing percentage of Americans see biases and partisanship in their mainstream news sources suggests an active and critical consumer of information in the U.S.” stated James Castonguay, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of SHU’s Department of Media Studies & Digital Culture. “The availability of alternative viewpoints and news sources through the Internet no doubt contributes to the increased skepticism about the objectivity of profit-driven news outlets owned by large conglomerates,” he continued.

    I like Fox because they always have liberals on, face to face with people with common sense. The best show CNN ever had with that type of format, Crossfire, ended long ago. Since then CNN is way to gutless to replace it, and all they're left with is their crap shows like Larry King and Anderson Cooper.

    True, but - comon - Alan Colmes vs. Hannity? Really? Is that the BEST Liberal they could find? Really?

    Not only does the poll show that nearly twice as many trust Fox News as trust the next highest outlet, CNN.

    It also shows how far out of touch the Fox-haters are as a group.

    Colmes isn't the only lib. They always have guest libs that get torn apart by Hannity. Of course Colmes comes off as a "weak" lib, but thats only because any lib would.

    When I watch the news its always FOX. Don't trust any of the others. Get most of my real news from the internet.

    I can't stand hannity and colmes. hannity is a gulliani pundit. colmes is silly piece of shit.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    I don't watch any of them. They all create news. I want them to report it.

    Makes sense since Fox News destroys the competition in the ratings

    And I suppose most of you don't take the comedy of Rush Limbaugh as the funny as it intends? Don't tell me you take that crap seriously? If you do, you have far more problems than even the Republicans can solve.
