3rd Annual TV News Trust Poll

Democrats trust everything- except Fox News

Republicans meanwhile don't trust anything except Fox News

It's amusing that Comedy Central is on the list. That indicates the overall illegitimacy of American news.

In a new poll from Boston's Suffolk University, more than a quarter of the nation says Fox is tops when it comes to who they trust the most and O'Reilly i.... 

That explains why American democracy is such a mess.

Fox News Guest: Allowing Women To Vote ‘One Of The Greatest Mistake...

By Adam Peck on May 8, 2012 at 11:00 am

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

The Raw Story uncovered a sermon that Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson gave in March in which he spends 10 minutes lecturing his audience about how women have destroyed America. Lee is a radical pastor who says that allowing women to vote was “one of the greatest mistakes that America made.”

“Look at every place where a women is in control,” said Peterson. “You see nothing but confusion. There’s no good in it at all, none.”

Peterson’s sermon began with comments about Sandra Fluke, doubling down on Rush Limbaugh’s slut remarks. But halfway through his speech, he kicked the hate into another gear:

Hooray! Gasoline Prices Are Going Down

—By Kevin Drum

| Mon Apr. 30, 2012 7:47 AM PDT

Last night, while trying to keep my dinner down during 60 Minutes' softball interview with CIA torturer Jose Rodriguez, I happened to notice during the commercial break that gasoline prices were down last week. I haven't been paying a lot of attention to this lately, but it turns out that gas prices have been declining for the entire past month. Jared Bernstein has a question:

When gas prices were rising in March, I couldn’t turn around without being asked to explain why we shouldn’t blame the President for higher gas prices....But this month, with prices falling, I’ve yet to get one request to explain why the president should get credit for falling gas prices (answer: he shouldn’t).

This just goes to show the agenda-setting power of Fox News and the rest of the conservative megaphone. They don't get all the credit, of course — it really is news when gasoline prices have gone up 20% since the beginning of the year — but they sure get a big chunk of it. When they're screaming, the rest of the media follows along. When they stop, everyone else stops too. Remarkable.

POSTSCRIPT: And why are gasoline prices down? Because crude oil prices are down. Remember the rule of thumb that a $1 change in crude oil prices translates to a 2½-cent change in gasoline prices? Well, Brent crude is down about $4 this month, which translates into an 8-cent drop in the price of gasoline. And that's roughly what we've seen.

@Ken - Hypocrisy is obviously very lucrative, and success is the mark of God's pleasure with you, isn't it?

Of all things this Osteen guy thinks is so wrong obviously being a double-speek utilizing, hypocritical dick isn't one of them.
