Big surprise there! When people actually pay attention, trust desolves when it comes to Fox. Finally America! A year ago a plurality of Americans said they trusted Fox News. Now a plurality of them don't. Conservatives haven't moved all that much- 75% said they trusted it last year and 72% still do this time around. But moderates and liberals have both had a strong increase in their level of distrust for the network- a 12 point gain from 48% to 60% for moderates and a 16 point gain from 66% to 82% for liberals. Voters between left and center tend to be more trusting of the media across the board, which is why a fair number of them were still rating Fox favorably even a year ago at this time. But it looks like with a lot of those folks it has finally crossed the line to being too political to trust. Here's PPP's graph showing the highest net trust for networks to the worst:
I really think you forgot something, Moen. BTW, just which network is trusted the most? And probably the best poll out there, which is watched the most?
The Independent/Other stats are interesting to me... Trust ABC - 26% Trust CBS - 27% Trust CNN - 34% Trust Fox News - 36% Trust NBC - 33% Trust PBS - 44% Us 'others' are a rather un-trusting bunch compared to the 2 party affiliated folks. lol
The truth is finally beginning to saturate the general public that Fox is nothing but right wing garbage. I credit Sarah Palin's addition to Fox for expediting that. The network news is nothing more than a shell game a majority of the time anyway. It's just that Fox is better at showing how politically motivated they actually are. It's easy. You right wing rhetoric? Everybody is finally realizing that Fox is the place to get it. (hey, the public is a little slow...it took this long!)
But, you blame Sarah Palin for everything from global warming to restless leg syndrome.. so what else is new? ** yawn **
Wow...I said that?? Maybe you could reference those posts? Oh....I thought not. Good spin! Fox producers would be very proud.
Can't back up your words Mr. Moen? We have already made your original post look so bad you cannot even be bothered to post the poll that supposedly backs up your twisted rant in your op?
Is this the poll? it was quite easy to find Public Policy Polling: Our Second Annual TV News Trust Poll
Sorry if you had allready found it then why accuse him of not been able to back his words up?? as the main jist of his op was a direct quote from the source.
Did you read it? Fox is still the the #1 believed network out there save PBS. The poll does not give nor give access to the questions asked. On top of all that, the #1 IMHO factor is how many watch the different networks. There is absolutely no mention of that.
All that really indicates is that a lot of brainless people watch Fox. There are a lot of brainless people in the world. Fox watchers need to be told what to think. I already knew that.
Once again your response has nothing to do with what Moem actualy said, he never said that fox was in any positiopn he simply quoted the story and you accused him of been unable to back up his words! Yet you yourself said that you had allready found the poll! Now if you have a problem with the poll itself fine but at least adress yourself towards that and not some imaginery rant by Moem Oh and yes I read the poll guess what it says what he said it says
I assume that you are trying to direct this towards me. "He simple quoted the story"? Then where did these come from? "Seems Like Other Than Republicans, People Are Tired of Fox's Lies"? "Big surprise there! When people actually pay attention, trust desolves[sic] when it comes to Fox. Finally America!" "Now if you have a problem with the poll itself fine but at least adress[sic] yourself towards that". I did just that. Did you read my first post? Do you want me to parse that out for you. "you accused him of been unable to back up his words!" It was not until 2 days after my initial post that I stated that. I said, "Can't back up your words Mr. Moen?" Maybe you can see more than I, but I find he has still not posted a link to back up his words. Now, if you would be so kind as to answer a question for me. Just why do you apparently think Moen needs you support?
Is that how you figured out you were a Libertarian or that, in your words, "Govn't is the only way to fix anything" or that's it's okay for your children to date adults?
Because I am the Mod on this forum and you Sir called him out with no foundation except your own bias thats why You could read for yourself what the poll stated as you said yourself you had found it but NO instead you decide to start another stupid flame war.
