Most trusted network
 

This sort of flies in the face of what is so often posted on this forum, over and over and over again....

"Fox News has the most trusted network and cable news coverage in the United States, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Monday."

Just a poll, but so are the many many many poll results posted on here to make a point

Now there is a trusted polling agency! Yuk, yuk, yuk. I think I shall vomit.

This is certainly good news since Fox News will soon be the only cable news channel offered in The Villages.

Hope you are feeling better.....

"The poll has been cited by major news outlets throughout North America and Europe, including The Washington Post,[5] Fox News,[6] USA Today,[7] The New York Times,[8] CNN,[9] and Reuters.[10] Quinnipiac's Polling Institute receives national recognition for its independent surveys of residents throughout the United States. It conducts public opinion polls on politics and public policy as a public service as well as for academic research.[1][3] Andrew S. Tanenbaum, the founder of the poll-analysis website Electoral-vote.com, compared major pollsters' performances in the 2010 midterm Senate elections and concluded that Quinnipiac was the most accurate, with a mean error of 2.0 percent.[11]"

Having shared that, I will agree...polls are polls, and those who use them to discuss current events as certain poster(s) are prone to do should simply stop or believe them all. Shopping for and picking and choosing a poll that satisfies your view seems a bit naive and ill conceived. Many networks do that A LOT. MSNBC which ranks dead last in this and other polls of the same vein are prone to do that. Quoting polls is what you do when you have NOTHING to add of substance.

THAT is my point.

The average age of Fox News viewers is 68 and a majority of them are politically conservative and white | Daily Mail Online


The average Fox viewer is 68 years old, conservative, and white. Only 1.1 percent of Fox viewers are black. What happens to Fox when these viewers die off in 20 years? Do they have a younger following coming along?

Funny thing happened.

I was at the Dermatologist office waiting for my wife to be examined. I was the only person in the waiting room at the time. Fox News was on the TV. I asked the receptionist if I could change the channel. She gave me the remote and I changed it to Gunsmoke. A couple of other people came in to the waiting room right then. We all enjoyed watching an old re-run of Gunsmoke instead of the same stories hashed and rehashed on the cable news.

Let's remember. FOX News is really more about political advocacy than actual "news". There really is no news at night, just red meat for the right-wing crowd. Of course their viewers trust it more than the other networks. They are the Republican hardliners, and the station is run by a Republican politico (Ailes), and the crowd roars its approval when the lions eat the Christians. Imagine if Hannity actually reported the news objectively without personal bias or inflammatory language? If Rush stopped staying "the regime?" If Ann Coulter stopped caling for the murder of college professors and educated people? Who are the real elite? Far as I can tell, right now, FOX is the "news" elite suppporting the Kochs, Adleson, Romneys, Bush's and all the Wall St. bankers who control both parties. Claiming the "elite" are just Dems reflects ignorance of the word elite (elite athletes, elite soldiers- do they too "stink" like Progressive Democrats?) FOX uses George Orwell's 1984 adage, and pioneered by Karl Rove- Attack your enemy at the point you yourself are most weak, and tell them black is white enough times so that they will believe it. "Fair & Balanced?" "The Spin Stops Here?" Only 17%of the country thinks FOX is "Balanced" hence, it is not balanced for the nation, only its narrow viewership.

Did you just get back from a NOW rally?

:a20:

Fox owes its success by appealing to a niche market that has long been ignored by the liberal media ... the 50% or so of the population that is conservative and well informed

I know a lot of people hate that

If 50 percent of the population is conservative, why did President Obama win - TWICE? :a20:

I think the 1.1 percent figure must include walking past a tv with Fox on.

And the cut and paste plagiarism just continues adnauseum. Some people have no life other than hate. Spend every waking hour reading and re reading propoganda from the right and then dutifully typing word for word out of context garbage as the truth!

They
 

Are referring to the " or so". That would be the reason the Dems won twice by a landslide. The right hasn't figured out how to gerrymander big cities and thinkers.

fraud!!!!

Speaking from experience, as I've primarily watched Fox News since Obama was elected, the only unbiased show they carry is Don Imus. They are masters of insulting viewers intelligence and maintaining a following. The other networks are really no better so I still watch more Fox shows with exceptions of Hannity, Dobbs, and O'Reilly. I'm a life long conservative but these guys are wingnuts, financially successful wingnuts because of their following.

What most people actually hate is manipulation of facts to fit ones own bias. 42% of Americans self identify as independent, 31% as Democrats, and 25% as Republican. .

Self-Identified Independents Hit Record High, Self-Identified Republicans Hit Record Low

Even
 

More cut and paste plagiarism. Never an original thought. Send a search party out.

Facts can obviously be hard for you to accept. Try reading, if you are able.

This sounds like the normal liberal definition of "hate" ... if you disagree with the message call it hate yadda yadda. You forgot the racist sexist etc name calling unfortunately. I'm sure the inner fascist in liberal wackos would JUMP at the chance to shut Fox News down ... correct?

By the way the name calling is passé ... you guys need a new approach to silencing your oppostion

Study your Political Science 101 a bit more closely.

Fascists are the extreme conservative movement. The extreme left wing are communists - which does not exist in a pure form anymore.

I prefer to be labeled as progressive. Too bad that so many of the old angry men in The Villages are wanting to regress. They just cannot fathom the thought of having a black man leading their country. Run, Ben, Run! Guarantee Democrats a Presidential win.

Or a woman leading their country. Run, Hilary, Run!

:1rotfl:

Straight from the liberal handbook - label anyone with a differing opinion a RACIST, BIGOT, and HOMOPHOBE!

:icon_bored:

When I hear someone telling us the reason to vote for the conniving Clinton woman is because of her gender, I'm reminded yet again at how mindless of a argument that is

Actually I've studied political science quite a bit. My UCLA professor once drew the political spectrum as a circle vs the traditional left right straight line. Fasicsm and communism (as practiced in reality since 1917 around the world) are totalitarian regimes with so much in common that the practical differerces are academic

Of course you prefer to be labeled "progressive". !! If wacko liberals actually told the truth about what they want to do in power they would never get elected. Thus the strategy is to lie about it and never call it as it is -- a pig with a whole bunch of lipstick

And as a woman, it offends me. The liberals have no interest in running a candidate based on character, integrity, and qualifications. It's all about running an agenda - pathetic!

If by agenda you mean believing in a woman's right to choose, believing all men are created equal, believing in the voting rights act, believe in preventing violence against women, believe in equal pay for equal work, believe in non-discrimination in the workplace, believe the rights of all people to marry regardless of sexual preference, you are correct.

It's called the democratic platform, totally opposite from the GOP platform. Voters will have a very clear choice when it come to choosing the next president, regardless of who the candidates are.

I believe you're quite confused, but I'm willing to change my mind if you can convince me.

Who exactly is fighting AGAINST the concept of "all men are created equal" (before the law)?

Who is fighting AGAINST the voting rights act?

Who is fighting FOR violence against women?

Who is fighting FOR unequal pay for equal work?

Who is fighting FOR discrimination in the workplace?


I acknowledge the strongly religious take exception to abortion and homosexual marriage, but the rest, without citation, is just your crazy liberal imagination running away.

Ironically it's Hillary herself who led the War on Women ... she destroyed the legions of women who slept with her philandering Tomcat husband, in some cases approaching violence. Actually I've always felt sorry for Bill. I can truly understand why he didn't want to be in the same bed with Hildebeast. No man can fault him for that.

Obviously, you :loco:failed at that, too!

Sorry, but I might have to "borrow" that from time to time - too dang funny! :MOJE_whot:


Could you just imagine rolling over to that "monster with morning breath" at 0300? Beginning to see why Bill thought Monica was...ahem...attractive!

True story:

Monica takes another dress to the Chinese laundromat and asks for no starch.

Hard of hearing Chinese guy says, "Come again?"

Monica replies, "Nope, peanut butter this time!"


:1rotfl:

OMG...I crack myself up!

It's only natural that all these 'jokes' show up on the thread about Fox News, because Fox viewers are not known for their mental agility.

As the right gets more and more hysterical about getting beat again, the pitch will get higher and higher. Come election day 2016 only dogs will be able to hear it.

The left stands for the destruction of this country - socialism (failed everywhere it's been attempted)... one would think that would be sufficient, but no, the new breed of socialists ALWAYS think they're smarter than the previous crazy socialists.

Who exactly do you think is going to pay for all of your fairy-tale programs and state-dependent unproductive citizens? You liberals are clinically crazy - truly crazy. At $18 TRILLION AND GROWING, who do you think is going to pay for your hallucinogenic, drunken frat party of freebies?

I get you want the right to marry your pet sheep or whatever, but as a former banker, who pays for your party? The democrats always look to the responsible republican business owner and job provider. Why is that?

If we divided the country by political party, I have no doubt the republicans would look like the idyllic Elysium utopia and the democrats would be eating each other under ground. Liberals understand what motivates some people (that's why they penalize the republicans) but are too lazy to work for it. Thus, they infest big government and use its "authority" to confiscate from those who've earned it.

One day, Thunderdome is going dark! Congratulations to the leeches. :pray:

Wow great post and well put 😀

If your wit gets any sharper you could end up hurting yourself ... be careful please

Not "all these" jokes... just a single one about a philandering, unscrupulous former DEMOCRAT president caught LYING about his MULTIPLE AFFAIRS.

Oh, and somehow he remains "technically" married to Hildebeast (UGH!)

You liberals must be "so proud". :1rotfl:

PS... Did the "park police" ever determine how Vince Foster (Hillary's ex-lover) commit suicide by rifle (couldn't have pulled the trigger and swallowed the barrel)? Just one of many weird things with the Clintons.

Oh that's right after the mysterious Rose Law Firm billing records "suddenly" appeared on top of Hillary's file cabinet after multiple searches by the FBI!

Weird all these coincidences, huh?

Could you please advise me what time Don Imus is on because I have yet to see his show on FOX NEWS.

And what do you think that $18 trillion debt would be without two unnecessary wars on the tab?

And do you really want to compare job creation under Presidents Clinton and Obama compared to job creation under George W Bush?

I'll get back to you as soon as republicans reauthorize the voting right act of 1965, just like George Bush did.

And 22 GOP Senators voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. All Democrats vote aye.

SILLY liberal... there's always the part you left out!

(UNLESS IT'S INCONVENIENT TO MY ARGUMENT!)
