Poll: Fox News Most Trusted on TV

CNN bills itself as "the most trusted name in news" but the results of a new poll released Tuesday suggest that title belongs to Fox News.

The Public Policy Polling survey asked Americans about their levels of trust in each of the major television news outlets. Fox News came out on top, with 49 percent of respondents saying it was the network they trusted the most.

Opinions on Fox News had a partisan divide, according to the national survey conducted last week. Seventy-four percent of Republicans put their faith in the network, but only 30 percent of Democrats said they did.

CNN was the second most-trusted TV news outlet, with 39 percent of respondents endorsing it. There was a significant party split on the CNN question, too, with 59 percent of Democrats and 23 percent of Republicans saying it carried credibility with them.

Probably the moron who keeps putting "Most Trusted" on CNN....

:D

I just find it funny. I don't even watch FOX... but it is fun to point out what the polls say about it. Did you notice that MSNBC was squenched in with another news source?
 
It's like putting "world's best coffee" on your diner window in NYC.

Or, like calling your conservative news station "fair & balanced."

Or (to stay with the last point), calling your den of right-wing spin the "no spin zone"...
 
It takes a moron of the highest order, a white trash nascar loving redneck who's never seen the inside of a college to think Fox is fair and balanced.
No polls on that one yet.... but we do know for a fact that one of them isn't the "Most Trusted News Source"...

LOL

why would anyone with any education at all not see the poll result before it's taken. It's an assinine premise, a failed thread.

I didn't pay for the poll... and the thread seems to have plenty of responses, most of them from you, answered by me laughing at it.
 
I think the poll is funny to.
What are people watching fox going to say they are watching it because they don't trust it. Everyone with a pulse knows they kick ass in ratings.

They do well because they're the only conservative option...

Pretty much. And there isn't likely to be more of them. And they do well because they aren't afraid to put liberals on either, they're outnumbered but they are there. Usually as "contributors"...
