So, the more liberal you are the more you trust the news media??? BUT if you are liberal and so trust the news media and the Liberal news media tells you to NOT trust the Conservative news medias and so you trustingly Obey...                                                                                                                                                      

-------------------------

BUT if you are Conservative you don't trust any News media... 

-------------------------

It seems that outside of Fox Entertainment, Breitbart, Beck and Limpballs, Conservos don't trust anything. Tune out, man.

We don't trust Madcow or Maher, and anyone that gets a "tickle down his leg" when odumbo speaks!

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Polarization.  As I said.

Left and center trusts the WSJ?  Fools.

Far right is neutral on The Economist?  LOL.

Note that the center is with the left more of the time.

Pretty telling. Progs trust Al Jazeera more than they do Fox. Moreover, as those of us on here have long known, they trust two comedy shows for news over real news sources. That definitely shows in their lack of knowledge on all things.

I :heart; Q

Al Jazeera is certainly more objective than Faux, but it has a scary name so I doubt pugs would give it a chance.

Basically Libs seek out more news sources in forming their opinion and Consers are spoon fed by Fox. Not a news flash.

Ah, religion, bigotry dressed up as morality.

Libtards have always trusted Al Gores enterprises!

Basically Libs seek out more news sources in forming their opinion and Consers are spoon fed by Fox.                                                                                                                              Not true, this says NOTHING about who watches which channels... It SAYS who TRUSTS which channel... And Liberals TRUST anything their Masters tell them to.   Conservatives Don't hardly trust any News shows... shows who is actually the more discerning group...

I like the chart in any case.

No, that study doesn't say that. For all we know every conservative in the country reads the NYT, but do not trust what they read in it. I fall into that category.

The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

Yeah, it's a damn shame that progs lost their monopoly on the news, isn't it? You have a point though. The ignorant and dumb don't have the capacity to discern what has some basis and what doesn't. The prog leaders know this and that is why they have instructed their mindless minions to avoid such news sources, lest they grow confused. They want their progs to only get what they are force fed by their propaganda machines, which involves only punching a number on the TV remote. That's probably for the best though. Progs can't handle much more than simple slogans like, "hands up, don't shoot." If you get much more complicated than that, they are bound to screw it up.

John Stewart?. Not that I would go to a comedian for news, but this is a sad reflection on Ameriduh.

I agree with Pompano.

The other question I have is that the New York Times, Washington Post and LA Times are no match to 'wall-to-wall' Faux Compost.

Take a trip through some of Murdoch's print publications.

The righties could see something with their own eyes and still have to tune in to Faux to find out why it's Obama's fault.

Why do I find this so hilarious because it's actually so sad.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness -
John Kenneth Galbraith

"Have the predictions of widespread media echo chambers really come true? It's hard to tell using questions like Pew's, which ask people to self-report where they get their news. People can be biased in what outlets they choose to name or forgetful of the media they did consume in different settings and contexts. In particular, liberals or conservatives may be prone to exaggerating their exposure to ideologically consistent news outlets. Naming Fox or MSNBC in response to a question like the one Pew used may thus be more of a marker of tribal affiliation than a direct measure of news consumption.

The picture looks a lot brighter when social scientists have analyzed measures of people's news consumption in the real world. It turns out that the media people are actually exposed to both online and offline is much more diverse and heterogeneous than people's self-reports suggest."
