Poll finds Americans trust Fox News more than any other network | Raw Story

Poll finds Americans trust Fox News more than any other network | Raw Story

"The only one getting a positive review is Fox News."

An essay from a conservative media critic? A GOP blogger trumpeting the ratings of the allegedly "Fair and Balanced" news network?

Nope. A poll of 1,151 registered American voters, who were asked whether they trust each of the major television news networks. Ranking number one: Fox News Channel.

"49% of Americans say they trust Fox News to 37% who disagree," the poll's authors wrote. "Predictably there is a large party split on this with 74% of Republicans but only 30% of Democrats saying they trust the right leaning network."

"CNN does next best because it is the second most trusted of Democrats, Republicans, and independents. 39% say they trust it compared to 41% who do not, with 59% of Democrats, 33% of independents and 23% of Republicans saying it carries credibility with them."
