People can't separate the news coverage on fox from the opinion coverage on fox. The news is actually quite good but the opinion stuff is no better/worse than CNN.

Its just my opinion, but i believe plenty of liberals think fox is more trustworthy than the liberal media outlets, thwy just dont want to admit it.

over MSNBC it's the better of two terrible options. Over CNN, NBC, ABC, & CBS and you are out of your mind.

You weaken your point and lessen what others think of you when you tell people they are out of their minds.

Im pretty sure there are studies that link personal attacks to a lesser minds.

And there are also studies out there that link FNC viewers as being less informed than viewers of other stations. 03-nutkick

You mean the study from the college ranked 585th out of 650 by Forbes? That would be the same one that only asked 9 questions in its survey, one of which was admittedly 'ambiguous', two of which were open ended and then had to use regression models because they didn't identify single new source viewers from multi-source viewers?
That's the same study that over-sampled republicans which in turn increases the margin of error for republicans which watched more of fox, but didn't oversample democrats who watched more of MSNBC but scored similarly. Oh, and the professor that authored the studies wrote for HuffPo.


Maybe you meant the Maryland study that begins with this disclaimer
Quote:…misinformation cannot simply be attributed to news sources, but are part of the larger information environment that includes statements by candidates, political ads and so on

That would be the study that was criticized for relying on facts from political ads, and not news content. It's also the study that asked
Quote:“is it your impression that most economists who have studied it estimate that the stimulus legislation: A) created or saved several million jobs, B) saved or created a few jobs, or C) caused job losses.”
Which if you read it asks for survey participants impression of economists thoughts, and not anything based on facts.

That same study from Maryland's World Public Opinion project was also critizied by Baltimore Sun media critic David Zurawik -
Quote:So the WPO study once again cherry-picked the numbers that would produce the "truth" best suited to bashing Fox News. For a study ostensibly concerned with "misinformation," the WPO is certainly peddling its fair share.

Zurawik picked up on this trend as well. "[T]he definition of a respondent who is considered 'informed,'" Zurawik wrote, "is essentially someone who agrees with the conclusions of experts in government agencies."


Oh and the WPO receives funding from a variety of hard-left organizations, such as the Ploughshare Fund and the Soros-backed Tides Foundation.

Maybe you're just talking about the one Yahoo ran with that was found out to be conducted by a institute that doesn't exist. I don't know which is it, but I'm sure you believe every word in them.

I like PBS and NPR, but they're both left (especially NPR).

I think of PBS almost like the BBC. Both are professional, reliable, and left.

To 80% of those on this board, every network in the world is "left" except for Fox. That should tell you something.

http://www.mrc.org/media-bias-101/early-...-1962-1985

Quote:For a 2009 academic paper, “The Political Attitudes of American Journalists: A Survey of Surveys,” Northeastern University professor William G. Mayer tracked down survey research from the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, including the first known survey of journalists’ political ideology and party identification.

[Image: EarlyPolls.JPG]

http://www.mrc.org/media-bias-101/exhibi...hey-really
Quote:In 1992, Indiana University journalism professors David H. Weaver and G. Cleveland Wilhoit surveyed 1,410 journalists who 'work for a wide variety of daily and weekly newspapers, radio and television stations, news services and magazines throughout the United States.' Presenting the results in the Fall 1992 Media Studies Journal, they found journalists were more liberal, more Democratic, more in favor of legalized abortion and less religious than the public at large.

http://www.mrc.org/media-bias-101/exhibi...-revisited
Quote:More than three out of four 'elite journalists,' 76 percent, reported voting for Michael Dukakis in 1988, compared to just 46 percent of the voting public.

An even larger percentage of top journalists, 91 percent, said they cast ballots for Bill Clinton in 1992. That same year, only 43 percent of voters picked Clinton, who nevertheless won a three-way race.

77 percent of these journalists identified themselves as "Democrats," compared to just five percent who accepted the "Republican" label. And nearly four in ten (38%) identified themselves as "liberal," vs. just three percent who called themselves "conservative."

Nearly all of the media elite (97 percent) agreed that 'it is a woman's right to decide whether or not to have an abortion,' and five out of six (84 percent) agreed strongly.

Three out of four journalists (73 percent) agreed that 'homosexuality is as acceptable a lifestyle as heterosexuality,' and 40 percent agreed strongly.

Seven out of ten journalists (71 percent) agreed that 'government should work to ensure that everyone has a job,' and 30 percent said they strongly agreed with that statement.

Three-fourths (75 percent) agreed that 'government should work to reduce the income gap between the rich and the poor,' and more than a third (34 percent) strongly agreed.

Relatively few journalists (39 percent) agreed that 'less government regulation of business would be good for the economy,' and just five percent strongly agreed with this sentiment.

Plenty more here. You can educate yourself or you can continue to parrot your leftist talking points.
