All cable news broadcasters are right wing by the standards of most other western nations. |
People keep saying that... but it's not really true. The US is actually pretty left wing in a lot of areas other people countries aren't. Since other countries don't view those areas as "as important" america gets labeled rightwing. It's pure bias based soley on what someone thinks is important. It's like a friend of mine who thinks he's a liberal democrat when he's anti gay, thinks world war 3 will be with the middle east and believes in another of what i'd call crackpot far rightwing positions. The difference is... he's for a few minor leftwing things he finds VERY important, like the legalization of Marijuana. The few issues he cares about greatly trumps the many other issues.
Really i'd say MSNBC greatly trumps any "left wing" British newscasters i've seen. Though I haven't seen many newscasts outside of them.
Regardless, not really important to the topic at hand... since it's a poll of americans. Not the world.
I mean, the numbers tell you alot. They are percentage based afterall... you had to pick one of the three.
49 39 12 = 100.
49% For Fox News and 51% split between the two left wing stations. I mean, what other conclusion is there to draw?
Asking which news station you trust the most is kinda like asking which Drug Dealer you trust the most.
The one who's agenda is most clearly known.
