In the day and age of the 24/7 news cycle, Fox News appears to be the strongest network on cable. In a recent Public Policy Polling poll that received attention from Politico, it was revealed that Americans trust Fox News over any other source.
From what I read however, it is unclear if the pollster took into account that certain programming is biased and other programming is not on the Fox News Channel. I wonder if they took that into account as well with the other networks that were included in the poll.
There are many programs that I enjoy on Fox News, but I take into account that I am listening to a host’s opinion, rather than unbiased journalism. I would never use the term “News” to describe Sena Hannity’s program or Red Eye. And similarly, I would never apply that description to Keith Olbermann’s show or Rachel Maddow.
I wonder if the PPP poll factored in that the news and opinion shows are different from each other.
