How is the poll posted in the first post an opinion? Do you not see the connection between being the least informed and the most trusting?

Public Policy Polling: Fox leads for trust

FOX LEADS IN TRUST



Read it and weep.
Did you even read the link you posted?

Check out the figures in the full release of the document:

Bare with me:

36% of those questioned say they're Dem, 35% republican, 29% independent

That adds up to 100. Let's hypothetically say it was 100 people

36 were dems, 35 were republicans, 29 independents

74% of republicans trust fox news. That means 26 of the Republicans trust FOX news.

49% said they trust fox news. That means between the Dems and Indies (who account for 65% of those polled) only 23 of 65 (35%) trusted FOX news.

Also, when people describing themselves as "moderate" were polled, FOX was the only network that had more distrust than trust

Moderate views

NBC: Trust: 44 Distrust: 33
CNN: 47-31
CBS: 41-33
FOX: 33-48

Click the final results button on the bottom of the article

READ IT AND WEEP

This basically tells me that Republicans put the most blind faith in their TV deities

Like has been confirmed, FOX has the most uninformed viewers

!!!!!!!

Researching sanrene's lovely poll confirms it:

Dems are skeptical about most tv networks, and hate FOX

Republicans hate other TV networks and blindly love FOX

Gotta love the POLLSMOKING

Whoopsie!

53-21% of Indies don't trust ABC;
51-22% of Indies don't trust CBS;
45-33% of Indies don't trust CNN;
52-22% of Indies don't trust NBC;

Overall, FOX NEWS is the most Trusted in the poll.

The point; Many people don't trust any of the networks, but of the bunch, FOX NEW wins.

The breakdown says nothing about independents in that regard accept that people describing themselves as "moderate" have the least trust and most distrust in FOX. That should alarm you more than make you want to celebrate

Bingo. Of course Fox has more people who blindly trust them, they are the best at selling the "us vs. them" koolaid to the ignorant sheep.

It's so funny to se the left in such fear of Fox News. They hate their sheeple getting real information instead of the propaganda they are fed by the liberal stations. hussein obama has even put out the word that the Senate was to avoid reading the Drudge Report for fear they will learn something. The left wants to keep their people as ignorant as possible.
