Fox News: The TV source Americans trust the most AND the least
posted at 7:31 pm on January 18, 2012 by Tina Korbe
The Fox News Channel is simultaneously America’s most trusted news source and its least, according to a new poll from Public Policy Polling. Now, if the very same Americans said they both trusted and distrusted Fox, that might have suggested the channel is as perfectly fair and balanced as its executives claim. That is, if conservatives and liberals alike trusted half the information Fox provided and distrusted the other half, a plausible explanation would be that Fox provided liberal and conservative commentary in equal measure. Unfortunately for Fox, that’s not the case here. Instead, the breakdown is predictable: Republicans overwhelmingly trust Fox, while Democrats regard the cable news channel with a wary eye.
Fox is the most trusted TV news source for 34% of voters, followed by PBS at 17%, CNN at 12%, ABC News at 11%, CBS News at 8%, MSNBC at 5%, and Comedy Central and NBC each at 4%.
68% of Republicans pick Fox as their most trusted source, with no one else even hitting double digits. Democrats split closely three ways with PBS at 21%, ABC News at 19%, and CNN at 17%. Despite having a reputation for appealing to the left MSNBC actually polls in only 6th place among Democrats at 8%, finishing slightly behind even Fox News’ 9%. Independents split almost evenly between Fox News (29%) and PBS (27%).
Fox is also the least trusted TV news source for 34% of voters, followed by Comedy Central at 16%, MSNBC at 15%, CNN at 11%, ABC News at 7%, CBS News at 5%, PBS at 2%, and NBC News at 1%.
Democrats (53-17 over Comedy Central) and independents (44-13 over Comedy Central) both overwhelmingly say Fox is their least trusted news source. Republicans go for MSNBC by a 28-23 margin over CNN, followed by Comedy Central at 18% and ABC News at 10%.
The poll also asked whether folks trusted each individual source. PBS was the only news source that a majority of those polled said they trust. A plurality of voters also said they trust CNN, NBC and Fox. The rest of the sources run an explicit trust deficit; more individuals said they don’t trust them than said they do.
The sample skewed conservative and Democrat, with a liberal/moderate/conservative breakdown of 28/27/44 and a Democrat/Independent/Republican breakdown of 41/24/35.
In general, the directors of PPP say this poll suggests TV news has become every bit as polarized as the political parties in this country. “Television news has become just as polarizing as the politicians themselves,” PPP president Dean Debnam said in a press release. “Democrats trust everything except Fox News, while Republicans trust nothing except Fox News.”
To me, the poll serves as a timely reminder to check a diversity of sources to ensure a well-rounded perspective on the world. Realistically, time constraints and the general demands of life often preclude the casual media consumer from checking a multiplicity of sources, but that doesn’t mean consumers can’t switch it up occasionally.

It pains me to see comparisons to Watergate.
Sure, crimes were committed during Watergate, and the coverup was worse than the crime.
But Watergate was just a small skirmish between groups who wanted to be in charge. Both sides wanted to do what they thought was best for the USA. Nobody got killed. Nixon and the ‘burglars’ didn’t hate the USA. They wanted to keep it strong.
All that the 0bama administration does is to
fundamentally changeDESTROY the USA.Hell, just the stuff 0bama did to get elected to the Illinois State Senate were worse than Watergate.

really? Study history and how the dictators across the world were brought down by people power. the only “power” these dictators have is fear and bullying. It seems they have got to you. what 2010 showed beyond a doubt and what scared the pants off not only Obama but the gOPE is that when the people are united no amount of money, dirty tricks, fear, accusations fo racism, or fixed elections can stop the tidal wave. they spent 2 straight years seeking to ensure it didn’t happen again. We are seeing how they did it now with these scandals. We will not atttack them in the same way but we will prevail. Evil always loses in the end. Have faith, get some courage and fight.

You know what Obama’s election reveals?
What it reveals given the partial revelations of wrongdoing and malfeasance taking place?
That that fervor we all witnessed that elected him — fervor and eager, willing activity to deceive others by media about him — is based upon FALSE IDEALS, false notions, failed ethics if not rotten or even absent ones.
What it reveals, Holder, Obama, the whole lot of ‘em, reveals is to what extent that-which-motivates them is screwy. Thus, their desperate destructiveness when poked about any or some of it.
This week, we’re seeing a bit of their desperate destructiveness at being poked about some of it. It’s going to become more destructive very soon, I sense.

What exactly are you going to do to “fight” the IRS? How are you going to “fight” the Justice Department? I agree that the people spoke in 2010. But the IRS and the Justice Department (and Justice Roberts btw) put a stop to that in 2012. You think after 2 more years of malfeasance and corruption we’re going to reverse this inexorable tide?
Look, I’m not saying goodness won’t win in the end. I’m sure after a few hundred years there will be some resurgence of goodness on Earth.
I’m not trying to talk you out of the struggle. I’m just expressing my own frustrations. It does seem hopeless though to use the “law” and “elections” and the “Constitution” when they are being brazenly violated without a hint of repercussions.

I’ve said it before, having had ample opportunity to observe the Chicago Way in action, both as practiced in Chicago and right here in the Indiana county that borders Chicago on the state line.
Folks who are only familiar with the often amateurish antics of corrupt local pols just have no idea. Corruption is pervasive and the thugs are relentless. It is a mark of corrupt professionalism that absolutely no wheel or lever is not perverted to political ends, if not outright theft. Not a contract is let, an inspector greased, or a part-time janitor hired that some tool doesn’t have a thumb in the pie or a hand in the pocket.
The county gov’t center here in Lake Co. has a big brass plaque from the building dedication. Every single county commissioner listed on that plaque eventually wound up in the federal pen. And they weren’t the only ones.

It’s no coincidence that 4 Americans were set up to be executed imediately after the Turkish Ambassador leaves after meeting our Ambassador in Benghazi ? I wonder what they talked about ?

Alinsky tactics wouldn’t work against nazis or the soviets. They work against “good” people that are pushed around and made to “look evil”.

Jabberwock on May 20, 2013 at 4:36 PM
And? I assume you are trying to ironically imply that conservatives don’t like journalism. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
What conservatives don’t like is people pretending to put forth advocacy as fact. Conservatives simply point out that everyone has biases and biases inform our decisions. Whether it is the decision to report a particular story, how to cover it if you do report it, what resources to call upon, who to question, how you are going to question them, what questions you will ask, what follow up you will ask, what opposing viewpoints you will obtain.
Each one of those is a decision that is made with one’s biases informing the decision. Thus, if an editor is liberal, he may, consciously or not, decide a particular story is not worth pursuing (say, the Fast and Furious scandal) because he does not believe it is a “real” story. Instead, he may decide that the most important story of the decade is that Marco Rubio took a sip of water during the GOP’s State of the Union rebuttal.
It is the fact that the MSM pretends that it is completely unbiased and objective that conservatives object to. The vast majority of the MSM is liberal and therefore, consciously or not, they skew all reporting to favor one side of the argument or omit certain stories altogether.
A much more reasonable approach (and the approach that was used for the first 150 years of our history and is generally still used in England) is for each newspaper, TV News show, and each reporter to admit their biases up-front so that everyone can take such admitted bias into account when reading, watching, listening to the news report.
the only possible reason for the MSM and the Left to object to strenuously to this idea is that they know they are greasing the game. They know they are all liberal and skewing the news, but they want the public to believe they are getting “objective news”. Otherwise, there is no reasonable argument against the foregoing idea. And, any person who claims to have no biases and that they are completely objective is unworthy of response.

When he objects tot he same question over and over they can tell him they’re conspiring and it isn’t illegal as far as they know, but he could ask the DOJ about that and let them know.
If he says they should ask DOJ, they can respond that DOJ will probably just say they don’t know or can’t remember or that they’ve recused themselves and besides Obama swore an oath to faithfully execute the laws which includes what goes on at DOJ and they wish him to find out for them.

Capitalist Hog on May 20, 2013 at 4:48 PM
Not sure where I fall on this ‘Alinsky tactics against the left’ deal, but, it occurs to me that that ‘happy’ is largely correct – the Alinsky tactics are to be used to get the other side to cow, to bend in a way that they wouldn’t ordinarily.
We’re talking about Obama here, and someone made the reference to ‘how would Mohammed react to being ridiculed’? Um, he’d f*cking kill you, I suspect. And how would Obama react? Well, care to go to jail, be audited, spied on, rights deprived, etc?
It’s not the same as the left using Alinsky tactics against people on the right who *wont* react violently or in a way that’s ‘bad’ – it’s meant for a target who will back down rather than do so.
On the other hand, the left has demonstrated that it wont back down, it *will*, instead, use the power of the government against you.
There’s a fundamental difference there. It’s like continuing to expect liberals to argue and behave in good faith – they simply won’t, and we’re continually shocked by their level of duplicity and shameless political behavior. It’s like expecting terrorists to think the way we do – they simply don’t, and we’re continually surprised at their level of brutality.
Maybe I’m missing something but expecting Alinsky tactics to be as effective against the left seems… misguided.

Midas on May 20, 2013 at 4:52 PM
Since Alinsky’s Rule #5 is one of Alinsky’s tactics, again, this is plain false.
Lefties are far more susceptible to Rule #5 than we on the Right generally are, and because they are so stupid, they don’t realize it – they falsely believe that what works so well against them naturally would work against us also.
Lefties do not like themselves, and cannot stand their own (moral) reflections – ridiculing them persistently is like throwing water on the Wicked Witch of the West. One of my complaints about the Right is that we do not utilize this truth to our advantage as nearly much as we should. :)

We even tried making fun of Obama for missing all those jump shots. And the leftists literally said he was missing on purpose to seem more human. How do you ridicule that? They don’t get it.

I get the sense that Obama fears that things are collapsing around him so he must take totalitarian measures to rein in those who know the truth. These fascist moves reek of desperation.

Both Nixon and Obama were/are statists and all of these scandals resulted from a sense that they were above the law. Nixon was not good for this country and if he truly loved it, he wouldn’t have expanded government while abusing his power. Obama is either more incompetent than I thought, a complete puppet for the left, or a dangerous fraud.
