NBC, MSNBC sink to bottom of who the public trusts

By Paul Bedard | JANUARY 30, 2014 AT 4:20 PM

NBC News and sister cable network MSNBC rank at the bottom of media outlets Americans trust most for news, with Fox News leading the way, according to a new poll from the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling.

In its fifth trust poll, 35 percent said they trusted Fox news more than any other outlet, followed by PBS at 14 percent, ABC at 11 percent, CNN at 10 percent, CBS at 9 percent, 6 percent for MSNBC and Comedy Central, and just 3 percent for NBC.

The pollster said Fox won because Republicans are devoted to it. “It leads the way because of its continuing near total support among Republicans as the place to go for news- 69 percent of Republicans say it's their most trusted source with nothing else polling above 7 percent,” said PPP.

The pollster also tested voter attitudes on Fox star Bill O'Reilly, who is set to conduct the annual Super Bowl interview with President Obama, and Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert. PPP said that in a presidential match, O'Reilly would beat Colbert 38 percent to 35 percent.

What's more, O'Reilly had a better favorability rating than any of the potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates.

The poll also asked which news team was “least trusted;” Fox won that, too, because many Democrats don’t like it.

When all the politics are stripped out, PPP said that the one outlet that appears trusted by both sides is PBS. Some 57 percent of Americans said they trust public TV news.

peeuuuno, you're like the clock on the wall, always there, and right on time.
Let me repost a small part of it, that you may have missed~

"according to a new poll from the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling."
Which is the same polling group that has keycocker running down the street waving the "13% of people think that BHO is satan" flag.

You also missed a chance at cherry picking out the line from my post that says, "The poll also asked which news team was “least trusted;” Fox won that, too, because many Democrats don’t like it."

You missed that as well in your hurry to slam the source.
You're slipping.

Come on Mike, I hardly think saying "NPR is gonna set Iso off" is a personal attack. I think it is reality. No one is free from barbs here. My skin is thick enough not to worry. You? All of a sudden I,m "Sybil, and "pretending" and "up to my neck in personal crap morass" and I have a "behavioral pattern"?

Let's do lunch, maybe go see a Beiber concert.
