I watch mainstream, conservative and liberal media and read conservative and liberal publications. I have my views but try get news from various sources. Anyone that relies on one source is doing themselves a great disservice,
Agreed. And one doesn't have to like the news source.
[but one should at least know what they are saying]
I don't watch FOX News. I also don't watch MSNBC. I don't want a political agenda with my news. I want the news, not the politics. One reason I stay away from all of this stuff. I don't want to hear a political commentary on the news.

That's good to hear but most people, especially here, are incapable of understanding what is going on around them without somebody telling them who to hate for it.
A few things give Fox News more credibility than other networks among a sizeable segment of the population. The first thing is that there is demand for real news under a Democratic president and a split Congress – and that doesn’t include fluff pieces about the Obamas’ dog or Barack’s latest late show appearance or his recent golfing trip with Tiger.
Because if there were no Fox News, that would be about all the broadcast networks, CNN, MSNBC and the Daily Show would run about the current administration. Non-stop. 24/7. Heck, they could dispense with the formality and just form one monolithic DNN – Democratic News Network – and call it a day.
Another thing is that despite it being unabashedly infotainment in presentation, Fox News at least tries to hold government accountable. Liberal networks used to boast about being a “fourth branch of government”; they abandoned that role a long time ago.
Lastly, there’s the matter of what Americans care about. Most working Americans care about things like jobs; indeed, that is borne out by the Brookings study itself. Here is a ranking of six broad issues by demographic:

Except FOX isn't the most trusted among ALL Americans. FOX is the most trusted among conservatives. Liberals and moderates trust broadcast news more. Only Jon Stewart and MSNBC are trusted less than FOX among those 2 groups.

Don't cry to me .. I'm not the liberal group that wrote the piece.
