Question

Hi.
How are things?

Answer 1

I don't trust any of them and don't own a television. I get my news from various sources on the internet and print.

Granted sources on the internet can be just as tainted as the video propaganda but at least I don't have to watch a talking head. I would much rather read.

Answer 2

I consider myself a conservative and I am a former Republican. It has stunned me how far Fox News has taken the Republican party to the rich. I said rich because I am for a balanced budget and Fox News has convinced it's viewers it is good for the country to give tax breaks to the wealthy because 2% of them help create jobs. It has convicted it's viewers that Obama somehow bypassed congress and took the annual Federal budget deficit to 1.4 trillion dollars a year. Congress never passed that kind of spending increases. Well, Obama only pushed though an 850 billion dollar stimulus. If you think Obama somehow pushed though Congress a trillion dollars of extra spending { yearly} your brainwashed. If you think the housing crisis was caused by giving loans to minorities, but it is obvious that most of loans were given to white people: your brainwashed. If you think Obama birth certificate is an issue your brainwashed. The Republican party is controlled by Fox News which is nothing but big corporations controlling what people think.

Answer 3

I don't know what VOA is, is it a British news channel? I watch CNN,FOX, MSNBC,& BBC AMERICA I don't trust any of them. IF something gets my attention I will do my own research on it.

Answer 4

Fox, BBC and CNN. I will watch all 3 and between them I can sometimes get a whole picture and a look at both sides of an issue.

Answer 5

CNBC, Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, Barron's and the IBD. Also Yahoo! Finance.

I "trust" all of them but I never make decisions based upon one story or one source.

Business publications are the only publications whose self interest is served by reliability. The NY Times gives you their world view, not the way the world actually works, and their audience is now limited to people who share their world view - as shown in their declining circulation - but apparently that's enough for their business to cash flow, the controlling family is already wealthy and doesn't need to grow the paper. The WSJ, people buy and sell securities based on their explanation of things, so it'd better be right or their readers will lose money and if they lose money because the WJS got something wrong or deliberately reported what they'd prefer the facts to be rather than what the facts were, their readers would leave.

Answer 6

I love these trick questions. First of all, Fox News makes their stuff up, so that's not news. BBC isn't American, so that's not real news either. And VOA is a Sammy Hagar song, so that's not news once again. But I'll tell you who I trust, Scooter Libby!

Answer 7

NONE of them. I rarely watch tv unless I see something on my homepage in the way of an emergency or something similar. I go to between 25 - 50 different sites/links here from all over the world during trhe course fo any one week.

Answer 8

AP,all the way,a little BBC,and a touch of fox for the fair and balance of it....cheers hottie add all these fine answers yet no stars,,,whats wrong with you people,good god.

Answer 9

i get my news from cnn, bbc, fox & local stations primarily. i don't trust any one of them more than another.

also, i read the same stories on many of the sites to try and glean any extra details one reporter may have left out.

Answer 10

I get my news from a combination of sources - FOX and CNN, The Washington Post and The Washington Times. Also, the internet, of course.

That way, it is balanced.
