    I try to get my information from as many soucres as possible, so then I should have at least "some" idea of what's going on.

    Yep, they leave it up to those they send it to, to decide whether or not to believe it. I see nothing wrong with it.

    The article talks mainly about TV, but the Gallup poll shows newspapers are doing badly too.



    But the part that REALLY gets me is that liberals and moderates actually trust the media less than conservatives now. I NEVER would have guessed that!!!

    Is it possible that this might be due to the fact that the MSM is beginning to question the Messiah's rhetoric?

    I guess that you have to look at the ratings of CNN and MSNBC. They have shows that have like 1000 viewers. Their top prime time shows have lower ratings than O'Reilly's reruns.

    No one is watching these networks. So when they answered the poll they obviously are thinking of Fox News.

    That occurred to me afterwards. That may very well be the reason, which also validates what Treo said.
