As if we needed any further evidence that the end times for
America are nigh, results of a poll conducted by Quinnipiac University found
that FOX News provides the most trusted news coverage among cable and broadcast
news programs.
If you’re like me, you just spit coffee all over your
laptop. Only slightly reassuring is the fact that the results run along
partisan lines, with 58% of Republicans and 25% of Independents voting for FOX,
while Democrats heavily favored CNN and only 3% voted for FOX News.
Still, this is messed up. How are there so many people
willing to admit they trust FOX News? FOX News isn’t even news! It’s the
right-wing propaganda channel. Its viewers are consistently at rock bottom on
the scale of best-informed audiences for news shows. There are libraries filled
with the lies, half-truths and distortions that FOX News barfs out on a daily
basis. Why in the name of all that is holy would anyone rely on FOX for their news?
Maybe this is an Onion piece that slipped through the
cracks. I don’t know anyone who would watch FOX News for anything other than a
good laugh. John Stewart just finished up a 14-year career exposing the lies of
FOX News night after night after night.
Excuse me while I curl up into a tight ball and cry myself
to sleep.
