Of course. Fox News is the most trusted, by its viewers, to tell them what they want to hear.

Quite honestly, as a person of strongly liberal bent, I think MSNBC is just as guilty of editorial slant, and just as likely to not ask the questions that need to be asked…

i know this will send the Fox News haters right into orbit, but i agree with that assessment.

One thing for sure is there are many more commentators, and guests, from the left side on Fox than i see from the right side on MSNBC.

While I am of a center right mindset, I am by no means absolute that way.

Also not getting into a debate on this, just answering on the OP.

As noted, about 50% of people who describe themselves as conservative or Republican trust Fox News. That doesn’t mean it’s actually trustworthy, but it does mean they are succeeding with their intended audience.

Often said, never evidenced.

Nobody watches MSNBC. Adults and the educated, their target demographic, know that watching TeeVee is a horrible way to keep ‘infromed’.
