The Winner of the 1st Annual Fake News Trophy Is …

Thursday, November 30, 2017

Voters agree with President Trump that so-called “fake news” is a serious problem in America today. If a Fake News Trophy were to be awarded this year, the winners should be Fox News or CNN depending on which political party you’re in.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 65% of Likely U.S. Voters consider fake news a big problem, with 42% who say it’s a Very Big one. Thirty-two percent (32%) disagree, but that includes only 16% who believe fake news is not a big problem at all. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Trump suggested earlier this week that the media should award an annual Fake News Award for the worst coverage of his presidency but left Fox News out of the running since it is the only network the president and his supporters believe gives him fair coverage. But 40% of all voters think Fox News should be the winner of the first annual Fake News Trophy.

Pre jackass, it would be an even split between faux and manic, with the right wing pods dinging MSNBC. This shows how brainwashed and simple minded they are, all it took was a year of the jackass slamming CNN, and the playdo in their skulls is reformed.

sanctioned Republican State propaganda Wurlitzer. Nothing more. If there were any news organization that came close to FOX, but only sanctioned news from the Democrats, there would be such a furor from the right the sky would fall.

fox's big brother, talk radio, the only medium with no political counterpart.

all those are easily available alternatives, choices, the way it should be in a democracy.

not so with talk radio, the real problem, completely ignored in another poll. really fucking stupid.

Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans view fake news as a Very Big problem, compared to only 26% of Democrats and 41% of unaffiliated voters. But then GOP voters are also far more likely than the others to believe that current media coverage of political issues and events is worse than it has been in the past.


It's a very big problem only because the believe in their fake news and are brainwashed into believing that any time the MSM denounces glorious leader it is "fake news". Real is fake and fake is real, and they don't have the critical thinking skills necessary to differentiate.
