Yahoo news says that Fox News is the most trusted source for

[doc03]

news on Obamcare. There is our problem.

[sakabatou]

1. WTF?!

[unblock]

2. hasn't yahoo news always leaned way to the right?

[grilled onions]

3. They Have Max Saturation

At one time every region of the country had CBS,ABC,NBC but once cable joined in the news choices were spread more thinly. Somewhere along the line places that had a tv for the public(waiting rooms,dining areas) all tuned into Fox. Many got into the bad habit of Fox being the only news source. On top of this the rabid right,tea baggetts believed you could not trust any other news source.
We have to turn that propaganda machine off and get people to watch less rabid news.

4. Link? Must be a bullshit poll

[doc03]

8. Sorry I don't know how to link with this tablet. It was a poll by yougov

and Yahoo had it on the home page and now it is gone. It is on yougov site.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

13. Thanks. I did the research. Yougov is run by British conservatives

And is strictly online polling where they draw from self selected people who agree to sign up. Not sure how valid this poll is.

They don't reveal anything about their methodology and statistical MOE.

5. So only a bunch of Yahoo's still use Yahoo!

[Mr Dixon]

11. LOL

GOOD ONE

[zbdent]

6. Murdoch wrote a check that cleared?

Wow ... THAT is news ...

[Gothmog]

7. Does anyone really believe this claim?

This claim is so bogus that it is funny

[ChisolmTrailDem]

9. Cool story, bro!

[libdem4life]

10. One has only to recall the real meaning of the word "yahoo", the noun, and it's not flattering.

I can't go on there without reflecting on the origin and wondering who thought of it...and pushed it through some Board of Directors.

Ya·hoo [yah-hoo, yey-, yah-hoo] Show IPA
noun, plural Ya·hoos.
1.
(in Swift's Gulliver's Travels ) one of a race of brutes, having the form and all the vices of humans, who are subject to the Houyhnhnms.
2.
( lowercase ) an uncultivated or boorish person; lout; philistine; yokel.
3.
( lowercase ) a coarse or brutish person.
Origin:
coined by Swift in Gulliver's Travels (1726)

12. yep, i'd say that's probably accurate

lots of kool-aid drinking going on amongst the Fox viewers. i'm sure they trust Murdoch's puppets implicitly on everything.

[City Lights]

14. What do you expect from a news organization named "Yahoo?"

Yahoos endorsing yahoos.

15. Fox News the most trusted name in

cow manure.

[Aerows]

24. Hey, now

Don't be insulting cow manure like that - it's actually useful!

[yuiyoshida]

33. True

Fox News is USELESS.

[Sheri]

16. the most trusted source for pure lies is more like it.

fox sux.

18. Since you asked so nicely, I googled for you. Here...

19. Thanks for adding the link. When I started the thread I was

in Starbucks and haven't figured out how to make a link with my Android tablet. Here is a direct link to yougov: http://today.yougov.com/news/2013/11/12/fox-news-most-trusted-health-care-law/

[uppityperson]

20. You are welcome, it took all of 3 seconds and I am always happy to help such a polite newbie out.

Maybe he will learn how to use The Google too.

[uppityperson]

28. I am not the one who posted the OP or headline. So applaud me all you want for trying to be

of assistance to you. I would have posted the link in my first post here, but wait! I did!

Here is some advice, look at the name of the posters who have posted and make sure you direct your snark to the right one. Then I will applaud you also.

[uppityperson]

30. I did not admit that and if the sky were purple, would asparagus still grow?

Another piece of advice, when someone is helpful enough to provide the link you demanded, thank them rather than insult.

One more, reading comprehension is key to understanding. "I would have posted the link in my first post here, but wait! I did!" does not mean I'd have posted the link in the OP if I did the OP, but I'd have posted the link in my first post on this thread, which I did".

[uppityperson]

32. I was being polite and posting a link since you'd asked for more information. You are welcome.

21. When I saw that poll my head exploded, those f---g

people that watch Fox don't have a clue what the ACA is. They actually believe it is government socialized medicine. If you try and tell them it is the Republican plan and was actually copied from Mitt Romney's law they think you are lying to them. If CNN or another network tells them something contrary to Fox they don't believe it. They think they are "Fair and Balanced" because they say so..

[uppityperson]

23. Right after 911, my little kid liked fox because they were the "happy station". One day he comes to

me with a funny look on his face, said had just realized their manipulations and why I didn't like them and why didn't I inform said child of this sooner. With child language of course, but that was the message. I had to laugh.

[leftynyc]

22. In other words

81% of Americans think Fox news is full of shit about health care.

[spanone]

25. our 'news' media is corrupt

[BlueStreak]

27. Nobody else even covered the basics like death panels
