Fox News most-trusted TV news/commentary source: poll - Washington Times

Nearly a quarter of U.S. voters say Fox News is the television news or commentary source they trust the most, putting the network ahead of its cable news and network rivals on that front.
Twenty-three percent of voters named Fox News as the TV news or commentary source they trust the most, according to a Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll released Wednesday.
CNN was second at 15 percent, followed by NBC at 10 percent and CBS at 9 percent.
ABC was at 6 percent, followed by MSNBC at 5 percent, Comedy Central at 4 percent, and C-SPAN at 3 percent. About a quarter were undecided.

The survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted Sept. 24-28 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.


Really, Comedy Central? MSNBC almost got beat out by Comedy Central and was within the margin of error.

No, it doesn't mean that. There were no figures provided for least trusted. You have to love the concept that comedy central is considered a reliable news source.

That's all about The Daily Show. Surprised it wasn't higher.

That might be, however those numbers really point to the most popular source. If you watch source X you're not going say source Y is the most trusted source, otherwise you would be watching it. Fox "News" gets the reward because it has decidedly Right lean. So, it's Fox vs. the non-conservative sources... Fox will win every time.

Hey Pete, I was reading this post and I think you might have a point about numbers. Is the left split between other channels skewing the numbers or is it that more right leaning people watch news more?

How the hell is CSPAN trusted by only 3%??? It's ****ing live! It's impossible to misreport!

My guess - Cspan is watched by 3%

I suspect those that think FOX or any of the others can be trusted more than CSPAN do not watch CSPAN.

For most Americans, it is much better to be entertained, than to be informed.

I suspect most people that responded do not watch any of them but picked the one they have heard of the most.
