Default National Poll on Media Believability

http://www.sacredheart.edu/pages/209...ouse_floor.cfm

Quote:
The perception is growing among Americans that the news media attempts to influence public opinion – from 79.3% strongly or somewhat agreeing in 2003 to 87.6% in 2007.

And, 86.0% agreed (strongly or somewhat) that the news media attempts to influence public policies – up from 76.7% in 2003.
Quote:
The most trusted national TV news organizations, for accurate reporting, in declining order included: Fox News (27.0%), CNN (14.6%), and NBC News (10.90%). These were followed by ABC News (7.0%), local news (6.9%), CBS News (6.8%) MSNBC (4.0%), PBS News (3.0%), CNBC (0.6%) and CBN (0.5%).
Quote:
Nearly three-quarters of all Americans surveyed, 70.7%, indicated they strongly or somewhat agreed that negative media reporting damages troop morale.

Over half of all survey respondents, 59.8%, agreed (strongly or somewhat) that negative media coverage damages prospects for success in Iraq because it encourages terrorists, and about half, 49.1%, agreed (strongly or somewhat) that things are likely going better for the U.S. than the U.S. media portrays.

I'd REALLY like to see more demographics of that survey. 'Cause you KNOW the majority of Democrats are gonna say "Fox is biased," the majority of Republicans are gonna say "CNN is biased," and the rest of us are just gonna say EVERYONE is biased.

Hell...for all I know, the actual poll, itself, was probably biased in one way or another. I truly believe that 99% of all things are biased in one way or another.
