Public Policy Polling has found that Fox News credibility has sunk by 16 points from last year. Demographically, younger viewers, 18to 29, have the highest level of distrust for Fox 52% compared to 48% of viewers over 65 who do trust the network.
...Only NBC still retains viewer confidence for factual reporting.
-Democrats trust everything but Fox. Republicans don’t trust anything but Fox. And independents don’t trust much of anything. For Democrats 73% trust PBS, 64% NBC, 61% CBS, 60% CNN, 56% ABC, and 22% Fox. For Republicans 67% trust Fox, 29% PBS, 22% CNN, 21% NBC, 17% ABC, and 15% CBS. For independents 44% trust PBS, 36% Fox, 34% CNN, 33% NBC, 27% CBS, and 26% ABC.
Fox has to worry because the people they want to attract, the 18 to 29 year olds, just aren't interested in their right wing propaganda.
* Buzzflash has a link to this frightening story about John Bolton at TalkingPointsMemo:
Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, rumored to be considering a presidential run in 2012, thinks he could win the Republican nomination if he ran: "Well, I think I could win the Republican nomination if I chose to run, because I do think I'm in the mainstream of the Republican Party."
Talking to RT America, Bolton added that "I think Barack Obama is beatable in 2012."
Then he backtracked a little....
Bolton is the person that said, "There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is only the international community, which can only be led by the only remaining superpower, which is the United States." He also stated that "The Secretariat Building in New York has 38 stories. If you lost ten stories today, it wouldn't make a bit of difference." (see Wikipedia article).
* Has anyone else noticed that since the Republicans have taken control of the U.S. House of Representatives that the website has been slow to load?
