Poll: Fox Most Trusted News for Americans

[Titantron]

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.

Dont start that crap now. Your life may be nothing without christ, but mine is just fine without it. I have more respect for Christianity than most other religions, but not when it is pushed. I agree with the current values and morals associated with Christianity and think that we would be a lot worse off without them, but it makes it harder to hold up those values if you must beleive in questionable interpretation of unrealistic History to have those values. The Die-Hard Christian Right will always be a Burden on conservatives if they continue with the all or none hard line attitude.

Maybe YOUR life is nothing without "Christ," but that doesn't mean mine or anyone else's is, too. Some people don't need that drug to help them get by.

You don't know me, and you don't know anything about me.

boy, if that isn't the ironic statement of the year.

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.

I never agreed with you but this is somewhat false. They are opposite in the sense that one is liberal and one is conservative, but the hate and animosity on Fox is FAR worse.

Fox is the first and only network that personally attacks and insults voters as well as any and all politicians as well as guests that don't fall into there ideology. 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.

When has that ever stopped you from making ridiculous assumptions and accusations? For the life of me, I cannot fathom how you don't see the hypocrisy.

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 agree 100%...I can't stand watching either. I agree with FoxNews' views much more than MSNBC's, but they present their "news" exactly the same way...bring on someone from the opposing view point, ask them a baited question, then yell over them until they quit trying or you go to commercial. I don't watch any TV news any more, it's all a joke. I get my news online, that way you can skip over the fluff, ignore the bias, read only the facts, and interpret them on your own.

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.

EVERY study is presented with some level of bias...it's just a matter of which you choose to believe. Discrediting the ones you disagree with and believing the ones you agree with is not a valid evaluation.

boy, if that isn't the ironic statement of the year.

Gets my vote.

Thats cute, but completely false.

I did not discredit anything. I will be looking into the institution and the study specifically to see if the research is valid. Did you do this before you posted it? All I asked was for people to look at the research before just agreeing with it. Confirmation bias is big on this board. Did you read the last line of the first article? The study was done almost 2 years ago. Could the information be incorrect now? This is what I mean about confirmation bias. People look for what they believe without looking at all of the information.

I don't understand how a poll is biased. The only biases in statistics is whether or not you handpicked your responders, which I'm sure would've been exposed had it been true in this case. A poll is about the most unbiased form of information available.

No it can be manipulated. You have to look at the demographics of the poll and when it was done. I do not trust any poll until I see these things first. By the way, I do not believe what any of the media states on any channel. Issues are too nuanced for a 5 minute blurb.

[Titantron]

The manipulation is in the questions.
