Yikes...leftists will have a hit nightmare over this poll

[Roudy]

A more interesting poll would be who people find is least trustworthy.

That's the same Poll. It's like saying who do you like the most, or who you like the least. Duh.

 

[Pogo]

Was Pravda the most trusted paper in the USSR? Who cares? There are some people stupid enough to believe in anything.

Do I detect some sour grapes with you and pogo? Yeah, I think I do.

Nope. It is just irksome when people act as if cable news viewership is indicative of national sentiment.

It's certainly one indicator. Another one would be the elections last November.

The elections last November were a mid-term. The party in the WH virtually always loses ground in every mid-term. That's only been going on as long as the two parties have existed. Duh?

Nah, GOP managed to get the highest majority since WWII. You can't brush it off off as just another midterm. Nice try, no cigar.

It's a consistent pattern. You could look it up.
What it says is that an opposition party gaining ground in a midterm doesn't indicate anything -- it's the expected course. If the opposition party lost ground, that would mean something.

No really. If there were two selections, you'd be correct but since there are so many it is meaningless.

Fox News is the most trusted national news channel. And it’s not that close.

Fox News Channel beats out CNN for America's most trusted cable or broadcast news coverage, and MSNBC lags far behind, even among Democrats, according to new polling done by Quinnipiac University. The poll found 29 percent of people say they trust Fox News' coverage the most, followed by 22 percent for CNN and 10 percent for NBC News and CBS News.

The poll found 29 percent of people say they trust Fox News' coverage the most, followed by 22 percent for CNN and 10 percent for NBC News and CBS News.

Fox News' figures are unsurprising considering its ratings. The channel ended 2014 second only to ESPN in total viewers among all ad-supported basic cable networks. Its "America's Newsroom," "The Five," "Special Report with Bret Baier" and "The O'Reilly Factor" were the most-watched shows in their time slots among all cable stations. Put simply: Fox News is a ratings juggernaut.

Yes, FNC's numbers are boosted by the fact that 58 percent of Republicans trust it the most; Fox News also has the most trusted coverage among independents with 25 percent.

While Fox News is bolstered by the right, MSNBC doesn't get the same support from the left. The poll found that more Democrats trust CNN (32 percent) and NBC News (15 percent) than MSNBC (14 percent, tied with CBS News).

Here's the breakdown by political affiliation, gender, and age:

Fox News' dominance puts its frequent complaints about the "mainstream media" into perspective. For millions of Americans, Fox News is the mainstream media.

OUCH!

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

If there were 5 variations of Faux Noise splitting up that 29% they would average 6% each.

All that poll says is that there is only a single source for extreme conservative entertainment.

Got to wonder why they left our Comedy Central.

 

[Derideo_Te]

That's 58% of Republicans AND 25% of independents. So that's a grand total of 83% of viewing America. Which should be about equal to what the race for the oval office will be.

Another "home schooled math major" proves why only the gullible watch Faux Noise.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Really shows how effective Murdoch's plan has been. Y'all may remember that he was filmed in staff meetings, telling his staff to LIE, telling them to say "fair and balanced" over and over and over, even though they were telling lies. That ploy, repeating "fair and balance" continuously, has been so effective that brainless RWs now hang on every lie fox spews.

This, in spite of the facts they KNOW- that a Muslim controls the programming, that fox is truthful in only 18% of their programming and, of course, most recently, that Bill O'Reilly has been lying for years.

Gullible idiots know they're being lied to and they're actually proud of being stupid enough to keep right on swallowing it whole.

But still - the good news is that many more don't get their "news" from fox than those who do.

[Luddly Neddite]

But the old farts still believe their lies -

Honestly, its scary that these people SAY they KNOW fox (Limbaugh, Brietbart, Blaze, Palin, ad nauseum) is lying to them and they frikken LOVE IT.

Consistent pattern yes, but for it to swing the other way that far, not consistent at all. Quite alarming.

Well at least you agree that the media is dominated by leftist hacks who in essence are the propoganda arm of the Democrat party. We'll take it!

Yes, it can certainly change the result asking the question a different way. If everyone in the poll you posted who voted for anyone but Fox said that Fox is the least trustworthy then that would show us a segment of the population thinks Fox is trustworthy and everyone else thinks it is a joke.

There's no such thing as a "Democrat Party".
And as I keep pointing out to you partisan obsessitoids, nobody in broadcasting makes money on ideology. They make money on advertising. And advertising is based on ratings, and ratings measure attention. Not content.

According to a graph someone else posted, what I saw was Fox Noise 5th (out of 6) in "trusted" and at the top in "untrusted".

Here it is:

​

-- which again confirms my points about emotional manipulation. Truly neutral news sources should wind up in the middle -- neither especially 'trusted' nor especially 'untrusted'. Or in other words, not "polarized" ... or not "biased".

58 to 3, I'd say that's most definitely polarized.

They will as they get older. Adults don't watch cartoons all day, just because they did at some point in their childhood.

Not really, the poll showed that FOX is the most trustworthy among it's competitors. The fact that FOX is the sole voice that doesn't repeat the leftist talking points and still manages to kick it's competitors who have ganged up against it five to one, is a major achievement and credit to FOX news.

Quite the opposite. Older people are wiser and more experienced, therefore not as easy to dupe. Young people are inexperienced, impatient, and make decisions based on emotions.
