    Fox does not trade in truth or facts. It is purely a propaganda tool of the GOP and Donald Trump. It can be argued that Fox is a subsidiary of the Trump Ministry of Propaganda and Disinformation.

    It appears that Fox erroneously displayed s
    omething that was true and then when it realized that this was counter to its policy acted quickly to restore normal propaganda.

    It is apparent that Fox viewers are not as stupid or demented as Fox considers them, and they know they are being duped by Fox.

    Ah, if Fox had not intended to show it, why did they prepare it for display?

    Also, I think the intent of the graphic is misunderstood. It is not intended to show what cable network is trusted more, it shows the balance of trust of the particular network over Trump.

    Besides, they never say what group of people hey polled: College students, hardcore Lefties, or fly-over country?

    So I take it that if Fox is not trustworthy then we can't trust the graphic.

    Lets just be honest here. If you "trust" Fox News, its because of confirmation bias.

    Fox News has changed the game in "news". This is no more apparent then in their fight all the way to the Supreme Court to lie and call it "news". Think about that......the fought for the LEGAL RIGHT TO LIE AND CALL IT NEWS, and your supposed to "trust" them ? And they are the ones calling everyone else "fake news". They started by moving the conversation so far to the right, that centrist reporting was seen as socialist. They have since gone all the way to pure propaganda for the conservatives. Their isn't an honest person in politics who wont admit that.

    If you want to truly "trust" a news source, I would think you would choose on that actually corrects themselves when they get it wrong. Something that Fox news has never done. And the ultimate irony is that they themselves are pushing the "Fake News" mantra. Its an amazing thing to watch TBH.

    Perhaps liberals are more trusting of their biased news source.

    The real problem is that fewer and fewer people understand the difference between news and OP ED and entertainment TV.
    Maybe 10% of Fox, MSNBC or CNN programing is news. The rest is just OP ED talking heads and entertainment. Hannity is not news. Maddow is not news.

    Kurtz was speaking about a poll showing 77% and they put the wrong one up, which he asked to take down and put the right poll up. But yeah, propaganda and all that stuff. Do you purposely make calling out left wing idiocy look this easy?

    Maybe the guy in the booth who pushed the wrong hutton (for displaying the wrong graphic) was distracted by something?

    It has to be a major distraction to be in the same time zone as that Ungodly (Dead Possum) Hairpiece that Frank Luntz wears.

    GEEZ did any of you watch the show or the clip posted. The simply got it out of sequence and at the 28 second mark he says "OK now let's put up that other poll" and they show it and discuss it.

    You guys obsessive hate of FOX comes back to bite you with your absurd nonsense.

    They did show it where is was supposed to be shown instead of where the console operator mistakenly showed it. Go to the 28 second mark where Kurtz says NOW lets put up the other graphic.

    The OP has egg all over his face on this one. :sunnysideup: :(

    And then at the 28 second mark asked for the slide to be pulled back up and they discuss the results.

    Just amazing the OP would post what he did and the left jump all over it without even watching the damn thing.

    What's the big deal and why are you commenting on it without even watching it?

    That's their forte. They know they'll get kneejerk reactions from everyone else that doesn't need to read things through.

    Have you watched it now and are prepared to withdraw your claims and maybe ask the MOD to delete this thread?
