Not really that surprising random thoughts Send a noteboard - 27/01/2010 01:00:52 AM
It is a center right country so it is hardly surprising that the only center right TV news show rates the highest. What is really more shocking to me is the other networks are so willing to allow Fox half the country uncontested while they fight with the Daily Show for the other half. I find it kinda of sad because with the exception of a few shows Fox is not a very good news source. I keep expecting on of the other news channels to step up and challenge Fox but they all seem to be racing to their left. CNN keeps acting like they want to but can't seem to pull the trigger.

Most of the people with strong opinions of Fox News never actually watch it but instead they base their opinion on a few clips which are typically form the opinion portion of the programming. The actual news shows really are no worse then anything else out there and are often actually more balanced on their panels.

Of course it's an accurate poll. But my point is that trust has nothing to do with accuracy. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/01/2010 01:14:59 AM 121 Views
do you have any real evidience that Fox is less acurate? random thoughts - 27/01/2010 01:28:22 AM 262 Views
