Obama and his RATS are scared to death of Fox News, they're not his lapdog as is the enemedia.

Poll: Fox most trusted name in news

Fox is the most trusted television news network in the country, according to a new poll out Tuesday.

A Public Policy Polling nationwide survey of 1,151 registered voters Jan. 18-19 found that 49 percent of Americans trusted Fox News, 10 percentage points more than any other network.

Thirty-seven percent said they didn’t trust Fox, also the lowest level of distrust that any of the networks recorded.

There was a strong partisan split among those who said they trusted Fox — with 74 percent of Republicans saying they trusted the network, while only 30 percent of Democrats said they did.

CNN was the second-most-trusted network, getting the trust of 39 percent of those polled. Forty-one percent said they didn’t trust CNN.

Each of the three major networks was trusted by less than 40 percent of those surveyed, with NBC ranking highest at 35 percent. Forty-four percent said they did not trust NBC, which was combined with its sister cable station MSNBC.

Thirty-two percent of respondents said they trusted CBS, while 31 percent trusted ABC. Both CBS and ABC were not trusted by 46 percent of those polled.

“A generation ago you would have expected Americans to place their trust in the most neutral and unbiased conveyors of news,” said PPP President Dean Debnam in his analysis of the poll. “But the media landscape has really changed, and now they’re turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear.”

The telephone poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Maybe its just me...but does this seem like something the Nazis would have done?

I could see private “watchdog” groups doing this...but to have it sponsored by a political party...seems a bit “fascist” to me.

DCCC takes on Fox News”

And how did “taking on Fox News” last year work out for 0bozo then?
Fox News ended up with the highest ratings ever it's ever had, and 0bozo’s approval ratings ended up falling faster than any president in history.

“Fact Check Fox”
“Personally attack Fox”
That about sums it up.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has come up with a novel way to energize the base and capitalize on the left’s antipathy to Fox News—a “Fact Check Fox” State of the Union rapid response team staffed by grassroots activists.

Here is a detailed picture of their grass roots.

I used to be on the DCCC email list (no idea how it happened) but the stuff got so thick and stinky that I told them to take me off. Had quite a nasty exchange with that weasel Van Hollen.
Also told James Webb to stop sending me his crap, too. I despise that man, and I suspect most real Marines do as well.

The DCCC is actually the new CCCP. Just for the record.

Vegas Odds are that the DCCC will get mudhole stomped by FOXNews.
