"The only one getting a positive review is Fox News."

An essay from a conservative media critic? A GOP blogger trumpeting the ratings of the allegedly "Fair and Balanced" news network?

Nope. A poll of 1,151 registered American voters, who were asked whether they trust each of the major television news networks. Ranking number one: Fox News Channel.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. And deliberately ignorant.

6. Excuse me can you verify were that poll was taken

I thinking maybe the republican side of the House and Senate. What do you all think.

7. No surprises here.

Ninety-nine percent of Fox News listeners are narrow-minded right-wing idiots who would lock-step rank Fox News #1.

8. What's that quote about "lies, damned lies, and statistics"?

It actually makes sense - Fox watchers watch nothing else, and OF COURSE trust Fox most. Call that 25% of the respondants. The other 75% are split between each of the three main networks, CNN, and MSNBC working out to app. 15% each - but what do that 75% have in common? They DON'T trust Fox.

Re-word that poll to ask which is the LEAST trusted major news network, and it will ALSO come up as being Fox.
