Rasmussen takes a look at voter's opinions of Network bias and the results have some surprises.
September 19, 2004--Television news networks would like to see themselves as a team of impartial journalists working on behalf of their audience. However, a Rasmussen Reports survey found that voters see an entirely different picture. Generally speaking, they believe ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, CNN, and the Fox News Channel are biased to help one campaign or the other. Between 33% and 39% of Americans believe that each of the five major broadcast news outlets is unbiased. On balance, four of the five are believed to be helping the Kerry campaign. One, Fox News, is believed to be helping the Bush campaign.
Okay, four to one odds - I'll take it! We're still going to stomp 'em. Bring those liberal wussies on. Also, more people think c-BS is biased then not. I'm shocked.
CBS is seen as the most biased--37% believe that network news team is trying to help the Kerry campaign. Only 33% believe it presents the news in an unbiased manner.
... there is a very strong partisan tint to all the data. Fifty-four percent (54%) of all Kerry voters believe that Fox News is trying to help elect Bush. At least 50% of Kerry voters believe that each of the other four news sources are unbiased.
Well, we know libs can't get anything right, anyway. Oh, and this is a hoot:
Twenty-one percent (21%) of Kerry voters believe CNN is biased to help Bush. That may shock conservatives who used to routinely dismiss CNN as the "Clinton News Network."
That's just another tip off that Kerry voters are clueless and capable of believing anything IMO. And here's one for the MSM -
At the same time, those who dismiss Fox as propaganda may be shocked that the other networks are viewed by voters in essentially the same light.
