FoxNews Is Preferred and Trusted News Source by an Equal Mix of Dems,Indies,and Repubs

Published by Papa Giorgio

From Accuracy in Media:

Liberals received some more bad news this week as a new Suffolk University poll revealed that Fox News is the most trusted political news source among those surveyed.

  1. FOX News – 28%
  2. CNN – 18%
  3. Undecided -12%
  4. NBC – 10%
  5. Other -10%
  6. MSNBC — 7%
  7. ABC — 6%
  8. CBS — 6%
  9. C-SPAN — 3%

For CNN the poll was a little bit of good news at a time the network is struggling with it’s primetime lineup, and after they received a black-eye this week for omitting former New York governor and current CNN host Eliot Spitzer from a story on political sex scandals.

The news wasn’t so good for MSNBC ….

It’s true that part of the explanation for these results is that the only network that conservatives find their viewpoint fairly represented is on the Fox News Channel, but maybe airing all that one-sided programming bashing conservatives isn’t so good for the other networks after all.

And from BigJournalism:

It was a phone survey of over one thousand people from across the country, divided into Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. There were 62 more women than men.It was also a pretty even split between Democrats and Republicans:

and 96% of those polled identified themselves as very  likely to vote in 2012.

Some highlights:

– 59% had a favorable opinion of Hillary Clinton
– 50% had an unfavorable opinion of Newt Gingrich
– 70% had an unfavorable opinion of Donald Trump
– 72% disapproval rating for congressional job performance
– 48% believe Obama has not stayed true to his campaign promises, 42% believe he has
– Out of all GOP contenders, the majority would vote for Romney if the election were held today
– Romney trails Obama by only three points
– 53% disagree that raising taxes should be an option for reducing the debt

It’s a pretty even-handed sampling that even the Soros orgs can’t deny.

Very interesting.

This is the first chance Medved has had to really comment on some of the major announcements for candidacy of the Repubs hopping in the race. I have the announcements here:

Citizenship not required in Canada to vote

Published by Papa Giorgio

From Libertarian Republican:

Nobody checked his Face to verify his identity.

“You don’t even have to have proof of citizenship” anymore.

Tory Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, quoted in the National Post, Feb. 13:

“I believe in personal liberty, even if I find some expressions of personal liberty a bit peculiar. I don’t think we should be regulating what people wear but when a citizen comes to deal with the government, particularly to exercise their right to vote, I think it’s entirely reasonable that we say we need to confirm who you are and a facial identification is a reasonable way of doing that,”

Atlas Shrugged has this:

…Outbursts of public condemnation overturned a similar initiative earlier this year by Quebec’s Election Commission. The Commission was forced to reverse its consent to “burqa voting” when offended Quebec citizens and public interest groups threatened civil disobedience at election time. Highlighting the problem of double standards and arbitrariness, voters promised to attend polls with their faces covered by paper bags, sheets, hockey masks and other head coverings, and to assert “sensitivity” and special religious privilege as their justification for doing so.

“Elections Canada’s initiative violates the basic premise of public voting in Canada and the principle of equality of all Canadians before the ballot box. It is an invitation to fraud, misrepresentation and the debasing of our democratic electoral system,” said David Harris, CCD Senior Fellow for National Security.

Beyond the ballot box, religious face coverings have at times been misused in Canada and around the world to facilitate fraud and other criminal acts. Veiling has been used abroad to advance terrorist operations, including suicide bombings. Such risks compelled France to ban the burqa in certain public spheres, and the Netherlands’ government among others is considering doing the same. And last fall in Quebec, ADQ leader Mario Dumont went beyond the ballot box issue, stating that he did not “rule out the possibility of laws to make illegal the wearing of the burqa.” Yet some of Canada’s elites, apparently unfazed by the threat to electoral integrity and public safety, appear helpless in the face of radical lobbying in the name of “accommodation”.
