Survey: Fox News the Most Trusted

According to Public Policy Polling a non partisan polling agency, Americans do not trust the major tv news operations in the country-except for Fox News.

Their newest survey looking at perceptions of ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News finds Fox as the only one that more people say they trust than distrust. 49% say they trust it to 37% who do not.CNN does next best at a 39/41 spread, followed by NBC at 35/44, CBS at 32/46, and ABC at 31/46.

Fair and Balanced wins the day!!!

Re: Survey: Fox News the Most Trusted

I don't know how rating agencies determine ratings for a channel or a show. I assume it is done like a poll with a percentage of the population. If everyone that watches fox news agrees with fox news, why isn't there a republican majority or a republican in the whitehouse?

Either the rating agencies are wrong or all of the viewers are not republican.

I personally watch O'reiley sometimes but am a majority msnbc man.

Uh, Fox News according to the poll is the most trusted, not necessarily the most agreed with.

Yeah, if you repeat "Fair and Balanced" enough times while associating it with the same news agency, then after a while people will start believing it.


Honestly, all of the NEWS agencies have an agenda out-- I'd rather watch BBC or watch NPR news if they had a tv version.

Why quote me and not reference anything I posted?

I simply pointed out the fault in DM's comprehension skills.

I don't watch PBS stuff as a rule.
I have ceased supporting PBS because it is so anti-God and humanistic.
