Yes, I to believe that the Government has installed devices to track people down under the cover of OnStar.
Honestly, it's not a huge surprise. You have moderate and liberal votes all split up amongst NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN. Right-wingers only have Fox. It's not a reflection of the whole nation, just that the options are larger for two groups.
Also, anyone who says they trust ONE news source, is an idiot anyway. That being said, I think that for an accurate decpiction of the real story you'd have to check CNN, FOX, and a handful of websites all covering the same story. WTF ever happened to journalistic objectivity?

Listen to him every day hahaha.
ROFL, now imagine if they put him on fox news? perfect match no? lol
imo, they just made up a number for that "study" or polls or what-ever u wanna call it, in an attempt redeem fox's public image, i refuse to believe that half of the american population is retarded... even though most of time i am proven to be wrong on that.
PPP conducted a national survey of 1,151 registered voters on January 18th and 19th. The survey’s margin of error is +/-2.8%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.
who the hell did and who the hell gave the surveys anyways?
sad. Cant believe the guy said he liked glenn beck. This is the same guy who brings the guy who wrote the "Left Behind" series on his show and talks about how the world is going to end and jesus is coming back.

fox realized they could make more money from viagra ads than responsible journalism so they made news for angry old people and once they got the most ratings other networks followed suit

Appellate Court Rules Media Can Legally Lie. By Mike Gaddy. Published Feb. 28, 2003 On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast.

It's just a way to say misleading things with statistics.
I don't trust any news outlets. Bloggers FTW.
What is misleading about it? One set of numbers is more favorable than the other sets of numbers. Why is it relevant that the leader only has a plurality?

I won't say that I like Glenn Beck, but I think he gets more shit than he deserves. He's compared to the likes of Bill O'Rielly and Rush Limbaugh when he's nowhere near as mean-spirited.

Well to be fair, are not all Mainstream American News corporations (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC) biased in their own respects? I would assume anybody would realize this, I always thought personally that Fox News was quite retarded because they got the most incapable people to do the jobs who absolutely nothing what they're talking about. (IE: Glenn Beck). It's not the fact that the station is biased in my mind, they all are in their own parties respect. It's more of how stupid the people they hire for the company are, and how they gloat around saying "Fair and Balanced". Yadda yadda, rant on my part.
