Pew media survey: 47% conservatives call Fox their 'main news source'

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

A remarkable survey about the news consumption of America finds that more than half of conservatives use Fox as their main news source, liberals will “drop” a friend if they turn out to be a righty, BuzzFeed is the most distrusted, and partisans are split on the Drudge Report.

 

Pew Research Center’s Journalism Project report revealed the “cleavage” in American media habits, with the Left picking CNN, NPR, the New York Times and MSNBC as their sources, and the right Fox.

 

It also showed who trusts what media and found outlets like the Drudge Report, split evenly between liberals who distrust it more, conservatives trusting it and those in the middle viewing the influential site “about equally trusted as distrusted.” Only one news source, BuzzFeed, was “more distrusted than trusted” across every ideological spectrum.

The other 53% are lying.

The other 53% are lying.

 

Or heavily misinformed. You know, the kind of people who get their news from Jon Stewart. It's funny that the ideological predisposition of consumers of NYT, NPR, Jon Stewart and al Jazeera are indistinguishable from each other.

 

Stewart and Colbert are comedians, yet they show up in this study. No wonder the government is populated by raving idiots.

Welcome to the 19th century. When news outlets did not pretend to be unbiased. I don't like them but Stewart and Colbert know what their audience wants and gives it to them. As I have said before....Two Different Counties.
