Poll: Fox News most trusted network


Fox News has the most trusted network and cable news coverage in the United States, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Monday. But network TV is much less trustworthy than it was in the days of Walter Cronkite, American voters say.

In comparison rankings, 29 percent responded that they trust Fox News the most. CNN follows with 22 percent, CBS News and NBC News are at 10 percent, ABC News at 8 percent and MSNBC at 7 percent.

Asked whether they trust the journalistic coverage of each network, 20 percent said they do “a great deal” for Fox, and 35 percent said “somewhat

Funny how we only get HALF the story from crazyhorse.FOX was also the MOST DISTRUSTED news channel.

The just released Quinnipiac University National poll, which asked those surveyed of their level of trust in national TV news outlets in the U.S. finds – not surprisingly – that Fox News is the most trusted, and at the same time, least trusted news source.

The poll asked “Do you trust the journalistic coverage provided by FOX News,” as well as that of NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, and CNN.

While 35 percent of those who identify themselves as Republicans said they trusted FOX News “a great deal” and 45 percent responded “somewhat”, 44 percent of Democrats responded “not at all” and a further 16 percent said “not so much”

Overall, only MSNBC is less trusted overall by viewers than FOX News and only 22 percent of Democrats say MSNBC can be trusted “a great deal”.

The actual figures from the poll tell a very different story.

These figures are taken from the actual graphic in the Quinniac report which I am unable to post here but which I will post on a separate blog so people can check it for accuracy).

Actual Question was "Do you trust the jounalism provided by ....? "

NBC -- A great deal 15% Somewhat 40% --- Total 55%
ABC -- A great deal 15% Somewhat 45% ---Total 60%
CBS -- A gret deal 16% Somewhat 44% -- Total 60%
CNN -- A great deal 18% Somewhat 40% ---Total 58%
FOX -- A great deal 20% Somewhat 38% Total 58%
MSNBC -- A great deal 13% Somewhat 39% Total 52%

on the flip side
NBC Not s much 17% Not at all 18% Total 35%
ABC Not so much16% Not at all 15% Total 31%
CBS Not so much 16% Not at all 15% Total 31 %
CNN Not so much 14% Not at all 20% Total 34%
FOX Not so much 14% Not at all 26% Total 40%
MSNBC Not so much 16% Not at all 24% Total40%

More people do not trust FOX AT ALL than any other news channel - and almost TWICE as many as do not trust FOX as do not trust ABC or CNN. ONLY MSNBC has a significantly lower trust percentage and only MSNBC has as bad a NOT TRUSTED percentage as FOX.

If Fox is the most trusted news source, then everything I believe about the critical abilities of the great American public is true.
