The trust in Fox News is SO disheartening. It’s almost completely sensationalist propaganda.
I’m surprised NPR has low trust rates from both parties. I can feel a liberal bias, their long-form stories are excellent, but they do try to present both sides which probably makes some liberals unhappy.
I think they should have just been told they cannot use the term news. They could use the term Knews if they like. Like Krab for News
If the just went with Fox Entertainment, that’s fine as well. But if the information you are putting out there you are saying your viewers know isn’t necessarily factual, it shouldn’t fall under news. The Onion Im sure would be fine with BREAKING KNEWS
I mean the answer is really obvious. Fox and right-wing news outlets in general are designed to elicit strong emotional responses with the stories that they run and how they run them. It is, without exaggeration, literally - in the classical sense of the term “literally” (fuck I hate that I have to specify that now) - the daily hour(s) of hate. Strong emotions elicit the release of dopamine. This is why it “feels good” to many people.
First, I ignored the dislike slices. Who’s watching sources they distrust? Nobody, so that’s personal bias, IMO.
Now, look at the Trust slices. Other than FoxNews, no news source really breaks 25% for the Repubs. They just don’t seem to follow any source. If they did, they’d trust someone. So half watch FoxNews, and only a quarter watch anything else.
For the lefties, half the sources have 30-60% trust. That is a lot more sources getting regular eyes and ears on them. Something like NPR getting less high reviews is likely just less listeners as it’s a bit “drier” news and a bit “both sidesey” due to it being public media. The dislike for it is only 3%, tied for the lowest dislike. Counterpoint is Newsmax for the left. Really low like and dislike because why would a liberal ever watch that?

I’ll tell you why they lost me. In the run-up to the Iraq War II, the GeeDubz administration was obviously pushing bullshit. Like - everyone who wasn’t already subsumed into the Fox News talk radio hivemind knew - with very very little-to-no doubt, they were lying about WMDs. Outright lying - not “wrong” - outright lying.
They had a secret meeting to plan this war before Sept 11, and now they were hell bent to do it. But, because this was pre-trump, they needed to at least snow everybody under enough to make it look “legitimate”.
NPR ran every bullshit lie straight up as if it were true - and, listen, everybody knew; everybody from the CIA down to Joe from Joe’s Bar and Grill knew - it was absolute garbage BS. But there they were promoting the lies just like Fox News, only with a little twist - a little “critics say” coda at the end, a totally useless nod.
GeeDubz wasn’t doing press conferences then. Like at all. For a year, I think. Anyway, he’s finally going to do one. Several major networks are going to be allowed one question each. NPR is one of them. The day arrives, we all listen in to see what flimsy crooked tacked-on part of their insane plan they’ll work to expose. The question comes.
It was the most mealy, softball, worthless question imaginable. NPR had sent Juan Williams to ask it. I think he’s still lying for Fox News where he went several years later.
That, and NPR outright refusing to call “enhanced interrogation” what it was; that’s when I told them to GTFO. Never went back.
Listen, they’re as liberal as a chain store. Their whole purpose is to deflect progressive narratives. And that’s all they do.

Fox News admitted under oath in a court of law that they intentionally mislead their audiences with bullshit in order to push an agenda.
After that happened, Fox News should’ve been either forced to shut down or their audiences should’ve walked away in shame.
Instead, Fox News audience: WE WANT MORE OF THAT!

I took the results a bit differently.

all the magats here are glued to fox ‘news’. many even pay the $100+ a month for cable or satellite and literally never change the channel from it.
