The Lunatics Are In Charge – Fox News Is “Most Trusted Network”

As a nation, we have collectively fell off the turnip truck and hit our head. That is the only logical explanation for this poll.

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, with CBS News and NBC News at 10 percent, ABC News at 8 percent and MSNBC at 7 percent.

When asked whether they trusted the journalistic coverage of each network, 20 percent said they do “a great deal” for Fox, and 35 percent said “somewhat.”

Compared with the days of old network news, only 7 percent think the information presented is more trustworthy, with 48 percent responding that it is less so and 35 percent answering that it is about the same.

Among Republican voters, 58 percent say they trust Fox News the most, with 13 percent favoring CNN, 7 percent for NBC and CBS, 5 percent for ABC and 2 percent for MSNBC.

With Democrats, CNN is the top choice: 32 percent prefer CNN, 15 percent for NBC, 14 percent for CBS and MSNBC and 8 percent for ABC.
