Poll: Among cable-news networks, MSNBC trusted by … 12%
Hot Air ^ | SEPTEMBER 26, 2010 | Ed MORRISSEY

In an otherwise serious poll from Politico and George Washington University, the survey also asks respondents which cable-news network they access most for political news. The results aren’t terribly surprising, as they more or less mirror the ratings, but are still noteworthy for one network’s almost-total marginalization. While Fox News Channel sailed to an impressive 42% and CNN got a substantial if unimpressive 30%, MSNBC got …

More people are getting their news about the upcoming election from cable television than any other source, and from Fox News more than any other cable channel, according to a POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll released Monday.

The poll found that 81 percent of those polled get their news about the midterm elections from cable channels, like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or their websites, compared with 71 percent from national network news channels, such as ABC, NBC or CBS, and their websites.

Actually isn’t the claim that these results mirror the rating wrong? Hasn’t CNN fallen to third in the ratings behind MS-NBC? Still a very interesting result about how looniness as a business strategy has worked out for this so called news organization.

I just tweaked one of my lefty friends with these results. I told him to watch Shep Smith and Geraldo if he wanted a lefty point of view on Fox since lefties always insist that Fox is all right wing all the time.

You have to keep in mind that 1 in 10 will never agree with the the other nine on anything.

"Serious poll from Politico and George Washington University" my
butt. Those flaming libtards are incapable of anything other than
pushing for the radical left. I would be surprised if Fox's ratings were
not at least double, and Chicken Noodle News' and MSDNC's
ratings were not more than half of those listed.

MSNBC took down the entire NBC news brand. They have zero credibility.

I love MSNBC!!!!

1) It’s the Bizarro world of news

2) the unintentional Comedy Channel.

3) Train wrecks are always fun to watch.

4) Chris Mathews is the anti Dos Equis man

5) The Ed Show has more drama then ten 13 year old girls just entering high school locked in a room and after they kissed the same boy.

6) You see more stories on Beck then Fox news.

7) Lefties are much more angrier than they want to admit.

8) Obama walks on water and his bowel movements smell like roses.

Wolf Blitzer. “I'll take cable news ratings for $1,000, Alex.”

Unfortunately, I think I know a dozen of these morons. They’re all under 30 and raving anti-Semites.
