... if the station with the highest believability is trusted by less than 50% of the population.


I'd be pretty worried if any station ever got 90%+


Wait, why would it be bad to trust facts? I mean, the news should be reporting true facts. Instead, what we have is the news reporting events that have been sliced and diced to fit a specific opinion.

I refuse to watch the news and if I want to find something out for sure, it takes me forever even online to find what is probably the closest to the truth. I don't care if what I hear is good or bad or a little of both. All that I care about is the truth and that I can make up my own opinion. Instead, everyone is trying to sell you what they think you want to hear... and sadly, many like it that way.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

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 139 Views
do you have any real evidience that Fox is less acurate? random thoughts - 27/01/2010 01:28:22 AM 304 Views
Does the poll suggest otherwise? Ghavrel - 27/01/2010 02:32:14 AM 294 Views
