Poll: Fox Most Trusted News for Americans

[WantToTrade]

Fox News is lame as ever. I cant believe people watch anything on there. They are part of the reason the GOP is split between true republicans and a bunch of loonies. And the dems are loving it.

Isn't "Trusted News" an oxymoron?

sad to say,but in todays world it is

Did anyone look at the University conducting this study? It was a Catholic University. Could there be bias? Before you believe anything, look at your sources people. And before anyone says it is still a university what has it done? I will be looking into what research this university has contributed to progression of human knowledge. There are Catholic universities such as SLU and Loyola that contribute to science, humanities, and arts in many ways. It may be my ignorance of this certain school, but I will need more confirmation.

Bias? Of course there is bias. There is bias in everything we do. Politics, sports, gender, race. Since when has bias been a surprise? Its usually used as a weapon. Bias is only wrong when its the supposed minority using it. Other than that, you are "right", when you are "wrong" you are being biased.

These statements do not make sense to me. Could you please clarify?

When you are right, you are right. When you are wrong, you are wrong.

But when you are right, but most think you are wrong, you are biased.

Im not questioning the validity of the poll. The poll results are the poll results. What Im befuddled by is how someone can watch FoxNews and say it's all peachy keen, and turn right around and talk about how MSNBC is spewing garbage and lies.

The fact of the matter is the channels are the on opposite sides of the spectrum, but they are the same, and anyone who doesn't admit that or see it that way is an idiot.

Both of them are known to have a bias.

I recommend to everyone that they should see Outfoxed. It's a documentary about the rise (as well as the bias) of Foxnews. I know by saying that some of you will try and discredit everything I just said, but just watch it and then come back here and tell me there isn't a bias.

Also nobody should be surprised by the poll results. If you ask 100 people, 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans this question, obviously most of the Republicans will vote Fox News for most trustworthy, and most of the Democrats will vote Fox News as least trustworthy.

I used to agree with you, but this is somewhat false. They are opposite in the sense that one is conservative and one is liberal, but the Hate and animosity on MSNBC is FAR worse. I watch all 3 networks too and this is obvious to me. MSNBC is the first and only Network that personally attacks and insults voters as well as any and all politicians. It is wrong to look at Fox and MSNBC as one in the same.

You don't know me, and you don't know anything about me. For your information, Sunny Jim, I don't watch any form of TV news. Once again right-wingers prove themselves the masters of stereotyping and psychological projection.

Experience has taught me that 99.9% of the things conservative Christians accuse others of being and doing are things they themselves are guilty of.

How can liberal atheist, who value life like it does not exist, say Christians are to blame. Without conservative values, we will be like prostitutes with no self respect.
No need to argue.
There is a need of values no matter what news station we watch.

What does "value life like it does not exist" mean? Are you saying I don't value life? Because if that's what you're saying, then you're wrong and I find that insulting. Conservative Christians are the ones who say that we are a fallen people who live in a fallen world, that we and the world we live in are axiomatically, hopelessly, and irrevocably evil and worthless, that we all deserve a maddening eternity of torment and horror, and that the sooner the universe and everything in it is destroyed, the better. Atheists are the ones who say that what we have now is an opportunity and that you should make the most of the only life you know you're going to have. And as for your conservative values, from what I've seen, the only conservative values are "Do you hate everyone you're supposed to hate?" and "Are you ready and willing to crush everyone and everything in your way in pursuit of the things you want?" And sure, if that's all you care about, then Phox Nooze is just right for you, Sunny Jim. But if you ever try to bring your "values" to my doorstep, don't expect me to just stand there and take it.

[Theodor Madison]

I do not hate you or atheist. It does not matter what news you watch, or whether you watch news at all. I would hate to see this world without Christians.
What is the purpose of man? Surely, to believe in something other than himself. Life is nothing without Christ.
