21. Are you defending Fox and its propaganda, Oberliner?

You’re distorting the statistics they show.

While your statement is literally correct it is for practical purposes false. Yes, that’s what the poll showed.

But the OP is right. Since the total of each row also declined, with Fox’s row lowest, the OPs statement is correct.

Fox is the least trusted network. Correct. Supported by this poll.

Also. It's a monmouth poll: https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_040218/

Check this data on Fox:

Donald Trump and Fox News
March2018 March2017
Trust Trump more 20% 17%
Trust Fox News more 30% 37%
Trust both equally 37% 36%
(VOL) Don’t know 13% 10%
(n) (803) (801)

So Fox trust went down seven points. Now at 30%. And "equally" went up by 1. So at least a 6% shift.

Are you defending Fox and its propaganda, Oberliner? sharedvalues Apr 2018 #21

Huh? oberliner Apr 2018 #22

Look carefully at the data & the question asked. Ms. Toad Apr 2018 #24

And the question of trust them to do what? jberryhill Apr 2018 #26

"as a source of information." Ms. Toad Apr 2018 #27

So much for their "Fair and Balanced" slogan. I'd never heard of Bill O'Reilly and the first time Doitnow Apr 2018 #7

Same here for Limbaugh. KY_EnviroGuy Apr 2018 #20

LOL! I'm guessing someone who handles the visuals just got fired! nt Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #14

I needed a laugh like that. BobTheSubgenius Apr 2018 #15

Here is the graphic BumRushDaShow Apr 2018 #16

This OP could just as well have been written by FOX news. Captain Stern Apr 2018 #17

That was my take, as well. n/t Ms. Toad Apr 2018 #23

Raw Story's headlines are often sensational and overblown. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2018 #28

The worst at that are Jason Easley's pieces at politicususa.com (n/t) thesquanderer Apr 2018 #34

Raw Story is such garbage oberliner Apr 2018 #39

Agreed. All he said was "This is wrong graphic". knightmaar Apr 2018 #32

Yup, misleading article. (n/t) thesquanderer Apr 2018 #35

That was great. It sounded like a pretty smooth "take that down please", but yonder Apr 2018 #18

He brought the same graphic up later, so obviously he didn't think it was a big deal. knightmaar Apr 2018 #33

Well that cheered me up Puzzler Apr 2018 #25

That graphic makes no sense to me. tavernier Apr 2018 #29

Because this OP mis-represents what the graphic is saying oberliner Apr 2018 #30

That doesnt work either. tavernier Apr 2018 #31

Well the graphic leaves out "trust both equally" oberliner Apr 2018 #36

I agree with you, but the graphic is still odd. thesquanderer Apr 2018 #37

Yes, agreed oberliner Apr 2018 #44

Why Would Howie Kurtz Even Care? ProfessorGAC Apr 2018 #38

Am confused UpInArms Apr 2018 #40

That is because people are misrepresenting what it shows. Ms. Toad Apr 2018 #41

Thank you for clarifying UpInArms Apr 2018 #42

When I initially pointed that out, I was accused of "defending Fox propaganda" oberliner Apr 2018 #45

I saw that. n/t Ms. Toad Apr 2018 #46
