Here is an article that includes a number of examples of that, in case you are interested.

A Contrived Controversy | The Weekly Standard

This is one way that the leftist media routinely practices censorship. And while Fox News does have its faults, it does not appear to have this one. This is also an example of the leftist media disseminating propaganda by their unwillingness to report certain stories that do not fit with their "narrative".

Many on the left seem to admire Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton more because of their constant lying and deceptiveness.

I don't trust any American news outlet. All have an agenda and all are sensationalized.

That means 14.5% of those who trust Fox most are Republicans and the other half are something else.
the simple answer to your defense of this flawed poll is , no.


http://www.quinnipiac.edu/images/pol...s_Uic472gg.pdf

the long answer is that your 25% likely comes from Gallup, which is a different polling service entirely.

This poll, has Party identification as follows.

Quote:
REGISTERED VOTERS
PARTY IDENTIFICATION
Republican 32%
Democrat 29
Independent 28
Other/DK/NA 11
Again, this is a poll of registered voters,not "likely voters" or "leaners". So there should be more Democrats than Republicans and more independents than Republicans.

We could argue this is even more flawed if we went by age groups as well.

A higher percentage of all registered voters trust Fox than trust any other source.
nope, because 71% say they dont trust FOX as much as they trust someone else.

It would help if you would cite the case in question.

Nope,it is wrong when you phrase it that way because 71% of people trust someone else other than FOX.

Ha Ha Ha…….

Around 1000 people are polled, and they say FAUX News is the "most trusted", and the OP says that 1000 people polled represent 315 million Americans.

Only from FAUX News watchers would such a generalization be made.

(If I did the same polling where I live, I'd likely get the same result. There is a high wingnut quotient in my location. Now if I did this polling in San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, or elsewhere, I'd be laughed at)
