Viewer Trust In Fox News Plummets In Past Year



Wow. Sounds like we're really making some inroads with the Fox propaganda machine:

A poll gauging public trust in TV news has found that PBS is the most trusted name in news, while trust in Fox News has dropped significantly. According to a survey from Public Policy Polling, "a year ago a plurality of Americans said they trusted Fox News. Now a plurality of them don't.

"In a survey taken a year ago, PPP found that Fox was the most trusted news network, with 49 percent saying they trusted the network, and 37 percent saying they did not. In the new poll, 42 percent said they trusted the network while 46 percent disagreed.The new reigning champion is PBS, which was not included in last year's inaugural poll. The public broadcaster was found to be trusted by 50 percent of respondents, and distrusted by 30 percent -- the closest any news network has come to gaining the trust of a majority of Americans.

Fox News has found itself in roughly the same place, trust-wise, as NBC and CNN, but still above ABC and CBS, who were trusted by 35 and 36 percent, respectively, in the latest poll.PPP notes that trust in the network declined only marginally among conservatives, from 75 percent to 72 percent. "But moderates and liberals have both had a strong increase in their level of distrust for the network -- a 12-point gain from 48 percent to 60 percent for moderates and a 16-point gain from 66 percent to 82 percent for liberals," the institute reported.

FYI: FOXNEWS is owned by Rupert Murdoch who is one of the largest contributors to the Democratic Party who threw his full political weight and influence behind both Bill Clinton and Al Gore presidential campaigns.

First, who in the hell are these 35% of Americans that are in the dark enough to trust CBS?!?!?

Second, if PBS is the most trusted news source in America then we really are in the crapper.

PBS, sorry cant type laughing too hard....

It seems as though I read somewhere that Congress was considering cuts of funds to PBS? Could this be a drum beat for recognition?

Without PBS what does FOX bounce off of?

===================================

I take what I see and hear from ALL of the MSM with a huge grain of salt, and much confirmation after the fact.

If you follow the money, EVERY ONE OF THEM is owned by some individual or entity that favors globalist foreign investments and interests.

Granted, FOX of the bunch 'appears' to be the most Pro-American, but is still in the pockets of the globalists.

They all basically tell their targeted audiences (the ones who pay for the commercials) WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.

ALL SHEEP ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS ..
