Fox News no longer most trusted news source

[Ksandra]

for shits n' giggles I took a look at the actual poll:

The thing I found interesting was people trust PBS the most (which is good), but it makes me wish they added to the poll of which they watch the most, because I never thought PBS was high on the user viewing rating. I could be wrong though.

[edit]

Wait.... so 18% of liberals, trust fox news?

it's actually 6%, the other 12% were listed as not sure.


still wtf, but at least less so.

I think I peed a little in my chair laughing at this.

I wonder if this change can be attributed to there being a Democrat as a president.

I think we should probably attribute most of the change to Jon Stewart.

"Fox News no longer most trusted news source"
People watch TV?!?!?!

[Kurokikaze]

Oh damn really? Didn't see that coming... no sir.

I get better news from the weather channel...

Nah

My roommates super-liberal aunt works for fox up in the DC area as a weather woman. I'd wager that a lot of the people actually involved with fox do it for the paycheck and not the view that the guy at the top has. Then again, you don't need to have a political opinion to be a weather person, lol

Surprising, I thought fox blamed bad weather on Obama as well.

Climate Change is not a political issue and the morons who see the 2 feet of snow after a blizzard and claim that disproves climate change happening aren't being political?

I agree with what you are saying though, tons of the off-camera folks have to be moderates at least and just doing it cause a jobs a job(I mean look at tryven).

Also gonna reiterate, dejet what the fuck @ BBC?

To be fair its not anything at BBC, Its just really is I have zero trust for any news cast. As far as it stands BBC would be the top of anything that is good.

It really is just along the lines of when something so bad happens to you, you cant be bothered with it. Thats sorta how it is with me and BBC. The only newspaper I read is the WSJ. And even that I try my best to stay away from anything that is not revolving around the finance.

I usually get news from DW and BBC. If I really have to watch an American source (i.e., the international sources are missing something), I'll turn on CNN, and hate every minute of it. Fox is even worse though, and I say that as a fairly right-wing person.

WSJ = Fox News at this point.... read Financial Times/Economist for relatively unbiased finance news.

You do have to distinguish some from the local fox affiliates and Fox Propaganda Outlet (foxnews). I don't think foxnews has weather (do they?), so I'm assuming that she is only at an affiliate. There have been reports of ex-foxnews employees that indicate that any on-air personality has to toe the line, or they get dumped.
