The Most Trusted Name in News?

According to the LEFT-leaning Brookings Institute, it's Fox News. Not even Democrats will watch MSNBC; heck, MSNBC barely out-rates the horrible satirical show The Daily Show among Democrats.

Fox News wins out among Republicans, Independents, and Conservatives. Best for Democrats, Moderates, and Liberals? Broadcast network news, but not by as much, particularly among Moderates. Fox News ALSO noses out broadcast network news among all Americans.

Image

Brookings also polled respondents about what matters most to them. Guess what? The "issues" Liberals and Democrats like to accuse Republicans and Conservatives of pandering to don't even make it on the list. Republicans and Conservatives care about "bread and butter" issues like public safety, not contrived things like the phony "war on women," and certainly not distraction politics. Heck, most Democrats and Liberals aren't even buying the new platform "issues" of climate change and immigration reform foisted by Left-leaning leaders.

Image

The Left has no clue. They can't even gauge their own constituent base, much less accurately describe the opponents. And this from a Left-wing think tank. SMH....

I'll try to explain this slowly for you:
Most reasonably intelligent people don't watch (or trust) either FOX News or MSNBC

So who does that leave left over to fill out the poll data..?
I'll wait here for you - take your time - this is not a trick question

Ah...but what network is watched by the largest number of "reasonably intelligent" people? First you're going to have to provide some criteria or a criterion for how we identify someone as "reasonably intelligent." Surely it would have to be at least 100 IQ. But would you make it higher?

Regardless of whatever you're getting at John...
You are Ideologically completely invested in Conservatism as well as an closet apologetic fundamentalist

FOX News was made just for YOU....

I will explain it even s. L. O w. E. R........for you.

Fox News is no different than CNN other than it's entertaining and upbeat. Both have an agenda and neither of them are MSNBC.

There's an old man in Savannah that walks the squares, crying out that we're all going to hell. He's less biased than our MSM.

I'll take CNN.

MSNBC is unwatchable - Fox News is good until you get to the prime-time programming which is over-the-top partisan. But before 8pm it's OK.

Not to go completely off on a tangent, but comments like these get me thinking. Maybe it's not what you really meant, but to say somebody is "invested in Conservatism" sounds like you are saying JSO believes what he believes because it's the platform of Conservatism and he wants to follow along. I'd argue that he's a Conservative because of what he believes and the platform follows the lead of people with strong conviction in similar beliefs. I do think there are people who identify themselves as one party or the other and on certain issues are spoonfed their opinion by the party, but I don't think anyone here would argue that JSO is not 100% sure of his beliefs. Anyway, carry on. 8-)

People who are 100% sure of their beliefs are a big part of the problem.
