Is Fox The Most Trusted News?

blank Google news search is the best :

https://news.google.com/

gives you every story from multiple sources, and dilutes bias.

i watch CNN for live breaking. it's far from perfect, but it's better than Fox or MSNBC. i also listen to the BBC on Tune In Radio to get a global perspective. when in the car, my only choice is NPR, which leans left. however, there's still some good content; it isn't a joke like MSNBC. i generally also read the USA Today Weekend Edition, and i choose a nightly news to watch. mostly NBC; tonight it's ABC.

if you're going to watch fox, you have to accept that you're being fed stories chosen to appeal to Republicans with a Republican slant. MSNBC isn't even that good; it's nearly worthless. even John Stewart is a better journalist than that, and his show is comedy.

i dropped Fox almost completely in 2007, and MSNBC a year or so later. both were good decisions. well, i did watch fox for like five minutes on election night. Rove's Ohio meltdown was pretty good comedy. :lol:

I consider CNN even worse then MSNBC. Fox is at least balanced. Or are they attempting to appeal to conservatives with Bob Beckel and Alan Colmes?

CNN is certainly not worse than MSNBC. ****, even Fox is better than that. the only good show on that channel was Dr. Nancy, and they cancelled it because it wasn't ridiculous enough. used to like watching her swat down anti-vax idiots and other unscientific woo. she's still on NBC Nightly occasionally, but she got screwed.
 
Surely you know the difference between opinion and news?

Fox News has both political opinion programs, as well as hard news programs. Lumping the 2 of them together as you have just done is disingenuous at best.

Sure there is a difference between the two. However, people will say they heard it on Fox and won't say what show they heard it on. Everything getsmuddled in the mind. Also, just because it's opinion, that doesn't mean you have the liberty to lie.

We will have to disagree on that one. If you are referring to Nancy Grace in my opinion she is nuttier then a pecan sundae.
 
To/too is an extremely common error, particularly when posting. Even those of us who are good spellers and grammarians sometimes find that our brains and fingers aren't in sync.
What's really embarrassing is calling somebody out for grammar; if your own point has substance, where's the need?

But, okay, if you're going to stoop to grammar-smack, then learn that in American English, end-quote marks follow the comma and period. :3oops:
I'm not usually picky about the grammar or spelling of others , but in this case Apacherat was insinuating his intellectual superiority to another poster while simultaneously using bad grammar.
I had to point out the irony of that.
 
Not I, but the meanings of the words are completely different.
When dissing someone and trying to impress them with your relative intelligence, or bear the embarrassment of looking the fool.

Could you be specific to which TOS violation I made ?

Here's what really got your panties all wadded up, this thing. It scares you because you don't know how to use it.

Ummmm, whoever wins the popularity contest is naturally going to be who is trusted. If you don't trust a network, why would you prefer to watch them?

i disagree I LOVE watchin FOX and MSNBC, just like I love listening to rush and beck but i dont "trust" any of them LOL

I simply watch and listen because they are only "entertainment" for me, NEVER to be taken that seriously at least on the front of politics. Then again im not wired so tight like some people so maybe its easier for me.

Very similar to how many people listened to howard stern on the radio but they actually hated him.

anyway as far as my opinion on FOX, now they are not trustworthy and that is based on factual lies and misinformation they have told. BUT make no mistake about it they are not alone by any means.

I always say Fox is the michael Jordan of BS, misinformation, bias and propaganda and MSNBC is the Kobe Bryant or Lebron James of BS, misinformation, bias and propaganda.

IMO i would never take anybody seriously that trusts either of these stations on politics.

You made the common error of substituting the word "to" when you meant "too".
In conversational English no one would know that you don't know the difference, but in the written form it becomes painfully obvious. I will even give you the benefit of the doubt and say that it was likely a typographical error, but given your sanctimonious bravado I felt that pointing out the irony your foible was needed to cut you down a notch if only in your own mind.
Math was never my strong suit, but I do know enough about a slide rule to know that they are obsolete. A basic electronic scientific calculator is faster and more accurate for any square root, exponential, logarithmic or trigonomic calculations.

The last time slide rules were required math tools, as I recall, was some time in the middle 70s.
Proper English grammar has not been supplanted by any modern contrivance, though some spell check type software has made the attempt.
Generally speaking outmoded and outdated calculating devices do not frighten me in the slightest, so look elsewhere if you wish to impress someone with your redundant talents on antique calculating devices.


Have you heard the one about the old mathematician who had a bad case of constipation? ...
Word is that he worked it out with a slide rule.:lamo

When will the country awaken from this decade long delusion that any of these channels are 'news'. It's entertainment pure and simple. I read with amusement & increasing despair the back and forth, liberal bias, right wing bias, like any of it is real. You might just as well watch Jon Stewart, or the Simpsons for that matter, for news rather than CNN, Fox or MSNBC, they are all parodies of real news. I've said this before, but Murdoch was ahead of the curve in recognizing that 'entertainment news' was a money spinner but they're all on the bandwagon now. They pander to your particular beliefs/delusions with their shouting heads and 'news like' presentation. Bias is fine, all press has had bias since media was invented, but that was Biased Truth. All of this nonsense borders on lies, mistruths and outright falsification. Until the country takes a really really long cold shower and wakes up from this, these pointless and meaningless polls and online discussions will continue Ad Nauseum.

I say Republicans / Conservatives are trained not to believe the MSM, the voting on this is biased toward Fox. It's really a popularity contest.

Fox News is the most trusted when considering each network's core audience. I'm of the opinion that even when busted in a lie (which has happened), their core audience is the most forgiving and I think writes is off as doing what they must for America. Most of the time this means demonizing the President who is the enemy of real Americans in their view. My personal opinion.

I like to watch Al jazeera and the BBC

There was a time, in a galaxy far far away, when I used to trust respect and admire the BBC for all it did. Unfortunately that galaxy exploded, and what we are left with is a BBC that mimics the CNN's and Fox News' of this world.

I miss that old galaxy!

I was pretty amused by MSLSD's ratings.
