No wonder democrats are so screwed up. one guy ges his news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, which are comedy shows..! ..another guy says he trusts CNN, and writes it with a straight face... too amusing to be true..
And who do you trust....Fox News. Or do you refer to Hannity and Beck for reliable sources of information and insight.
You've seen liberals on here say that? Which ones? Care to link to the posts?
A quick search would show liberals believe this. How many times have liberals simply wrote off a story as not true because the source was "Fox" or some other news source..
What a ridiculous question. Unlike right-wingers, liberals and progressives generally trust news from the mainstream media: The New York Times, USA Today, NBC News, etc. Yes, they also pay attention to Huffington Post, Daily Kos, etc., but that's different from right-wingers who don't trust any news sources except for the ones who market themselves as conservative organizations.
Conservatives seem to believe that if a news story reflects poorly on their philosophies, it must be liberally-biased. I can't imagine going through life with such a myopic view of the world.

Just for informational purposes, I rarely watch Fox, or CNN for that matter. Tonight at 6 was the DC NBC affiliate. The last time I watched Fox News Channel (as opposed to the local Fox affiliate which is on right now) ws the day of the projected Hawaii tsunami, they had a better video feed.
I've seen Liberal/Progressives here say they don't trust a news story unless they see it in The Daily Kos, Huffington Post, on MSNBC or some obscure blog. That seems like an incredible amount of trust to put into organizations that are validating their own pre-conceived beliefs. It's almost like they're part of some religious dogma.
So, what other organizations do Liberals/Progressives trust?

I've only seen a couple who cite odd blogs, but I see many more Fox/Beck/Limbaugh fans on the right than I see MSNBC/Olbermann/Maddow fans on the left. Not trying to deflect; I'm just sayin'.
Places I go to regularly are:
The Economist
London Times
London Telegraph
The Wall Street Journal
The BBC World Service
NPR
Financial Times
