| A poll gauging public trust in TV news has found that PBS is the most trusted name in news, while trust in Fox News has dropped significantly. According to a survey from Public Policy Polling, "a year ago a plurality of Americans said they trusted Fox News. Now a plurality of them don't. |

Eh, Fox News can have SOME good things. It's better than CNN. But I agree that PBS is to be way more trusted. I blame the Glenn Beck movement.

Yeah, everyone loves to bash on Fox. Have any of you ever watched MSNBC? Fucking terrible.

Best program on Fox is Stossel, but he isn't on the main network. Username, aren't you the one that always post links to huffington post, infowars crackpottery and liberal blogs like this one? As bad and as biased as some of Fox's commentators are, you would probably be better off getting your information from them, IMHO.

News channels don't show news, they show a bunch of people I don't care about commenting on news.
Honestly, just watch the local news. If they don't tell you about it within the first 12 minutes of your local newscast, you probably don't need to know it. And if you want to know more, GOOGLE IT!

Every news channel has some kind of bias, but really, should we be surprised? Print was exactly the same way, as are most Internet sources. The best way to go about things is to check a few different sources, find the thread of truth in the blanket of lies, disinformation and opinion, and go from there. Solve et coagula!

I don't watch the news or actively seek it out on the internet. I'm on a college campus, if something goes down there will be a couple hundred people talking about it when I go to acquire a Mountain Dew Freeze from the cafeteria. Then I can decide if it is worth reading about on Google news.
Half my family is obsessed with Glenn Beck and every time I'm forced to watch him I wonder how that guy isn't in a loony bin. I'm honestly afraid he is going to go completely berserk one day and try to murder everyone who disagrees with him. Though to be honest the rest of Fox News is barely better than him. MSNBC and CNN would be as bad but they don't have a nut job with a cult following preaching to people, still they are just as unwatchable.

Speaking of network news, Kieth Olberman appears to have left MSNBC.

I stopped watching all televised news when I noticed the news networks focusing less on stuff happening and more on how wrong they aren't.

I used to follow nothing but cable news, but once I saw the coverage of Katrina where Fox anchors and guests were making up fantasy stories about snipers and stuff in New Orleans, I grew really cynical of all news, and shut out TV news completely, save for BBC once in a while. I prefer to read print news and blogs, and cross-check it with fact-checker sites.
