Which news network do you believe is most trustworthy/reliable?

[FTF]

Which one do you rely on for the most honest, trustworthy and fair reporting and commentary on current events?

Of course, add your own if I left it off... there are so many.

I picked FOX... I like reading blogs too, but there are millions of them.

 

[Biker]

None. I get my news from the www.

Biker

 

[TexasRifleman]

honest, trustworthy and fair reporting

For that I have to be there and witness it myself.

For sorta close to that I have to go with Fox.

 

[RNB65]

None of the above. I think all of the news networks are about ratings and making money and all of them put their own political spin on the news to attract the largest audience. Ratings = Revenue.

 

[ronto]

I voted "Other"

I get the news from PBS TV (Public Broadcasting System). Granted, some of their programs are left-leaning but the "News Hour" seems balanced. I'm not interested in listening to propaganda from either the "Left" or the "Right" or any other viewpoint for that matter...I just want the truth.

 

[Zedicus]

None of the Above, each get the occasional reliable report, but they all push one political agenda or another and spin the news accordingly.

 

[hoji]

Other,
WWW or GCN but I take all with a grain of salt until I research it for myself.

 

[Sylvan-Forge]

Trust not the news.

 

[psychophipps]

PBS isn't too bad and the BBC is a step down but I really like the Christian Science Monitor when I have a chance to read it (which isn't very often). No real political agenda other than telling people about how the world really is out there (and it ain't pretty).

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

P.S. How anyone can see FOX as an impartial news source completely flabbergasts me.

 

[SomeKid]

I voted Fox, though I have to admit drudge and wnd are constant sites for me to visit if I want news.

 

[modotman]

news

i voted for cnn the only unbiased news out there

 

[crazed_ss]

lol.. I cant believe Fox is winning.. but then again I guess it's to be expected considering

I voted BBC.

 

[Macpherson]

I trust all the major news networks, and the mainstream media in general to present the facts with the utmost of professionalism and objectivity...oh wait...I vote none.

 

[MIL-DOT]

"lol.. I cant believe Fox is winning.. but then again I guess it's to be expected considering.
I voted BBC."

"considering.... WHAT "? that you're trolling on a pro 2nd amendment forum ?
and....BBC ??? those clowns are widely known as the most blatantly and irrationally anti-american media outlet this side of al-jazeera.
and i can only hope and assume that "modotman's" claim that CNN is the "only un-biased news out there " is as tongue in cheek as "macpherson's" was .

 

[crazed_ss]

Im trolling and I have more posts and an earlier reg date than you??
But yes, it is to be expected considering the forum that this poll is being conducted on. Perspective is an amazing thing. You probably see Fox as "Fair and Balanced" whereas I see them as a right-wing propaganda machine.



EDIT: And Fox News isnt a friend of the 2nd Amendmant either... did you see Fox and Friends the other day where the hosts were asking "Why does anyone need a AK-47?"

 

[DRMMR02]

Speaking of al-jezeera...why aren't they in the poll??? The OP is discriminating!


JK

I voted other(none of the above). I don't watch any TV news. FOX would be the least leftist of the choices, and that scores points, but I don't think they are really any good though. TV news is nonsense.

 

[Justin]

None. All nooze is biased. The sooner everyone abandons the trope of "unbiased" or "fair" nooze, the better off we'll all be.

Far better to view it all with a jaundiced eye than to take any of it at face value.

 

[Ponygirl]

I picked other...I get my news from the internet & newspapers.
I really hate the TV news..it's so sensationalistic.
All of the news networks have their progovernment agendas. Fox is so cheesy though...Is it just me or do they have a SOUTH PARKey edge?

 

[bender]

I agree with Biker. I get my news from the www. And then get the "real" story behind the story on "intelligent" internet forums, such as THR...

I rarely watch any mainstream media, or read it either... What's the point? I never see anything that echos my beliefs...

 

[Manedwolf]

None. They're all airheaded corporate infotainment fluff designed to be loud and simple for the masses.

 

[Gewehr98]

I voted "other".

My favorite's Intelink.

 

[Autolycus]

I like CNN personally.

 

[Skywarp]

None.

It's all spin

 

[RealGun]

None of them get any accolades, so it's a rhetorical question. I am more interested in integrity as the broader issue, which affects what they report and how. As long as ratings are high priority, I believe integrity is compromised and will be skeptical of all of it. The cold hard facts are one thing, but the spin, loaded questions to guests, and other commentary never gives a warm feeling.

I do have favorite talking heads though.

 

[Erebus]

i voted for cnn the only unbiased news out there

You were kidding, right?

IT's all sensationalism, they are in business to sell ads and that requires eyes glued to TVs, and that means that you have to shock and entertain. News is secondary to that.

Oh and none of them are fair either, they all have an agenda.
