According to an exhaustive new report from the Pew Research Center released Tuesday on partisanship and news reading habits, Americans of both major political parties have lost confidence in “all or most” of the reporting from every major news outlet over the last four years.
Good. They should.
The only exception to that four year trend covering the two major politcal parties and twelve major media outlets?
Who else?…Republicans who watch the Fox News Channel.
The other interesting piece: more Democrats trust the WSJ than GOPers (29% to 23%). I don’t know what that means, but I wouldn’t have suspected that.
Good catch, Teddy. I don’t know what it means either. But taken in combination with the Republicans/FNC thing, it’s even more interesting.
Perhaps WSJ is a little too ‘Fair and Balanced’ for the GOP’ers? They are the ones, after all, to have broken stories like the recent Torture Memo, etc.
Possibility is that the WSJ is too "Eastern Republican" and not enough morality, ala Bill O’Reilly.
Which is why I read the Journal.
