Polls indicate that the public's trust in the news media has been falling for years... and is near all time lows now. What's especially fascinating about the latest polling is that the public's distrust of the news that's presented to them is apparently across the board, irrespective of political party, with currently only around 1/3 of people reporting that they 'trust' the news they receive. For examples of how broad-based the distrust is, only around 1/3 of Democrats say they trust news from the New York Times, while only around 1/3 of Republicans say that they trust news from the FOX News Channel. (Sometimes people just underestimate the basic intelligence of the American people. :)

Fox News IS the government-controlled news, bobble-head. Almost anyway. Their news director is a close Bush crony and Rupert Murdoch is too. They fire anyone who says anything bad about Bush. A friend who works there told me. Unwritten rule. No Bush bashing allowed. A lot of government control. Though not total. Not yet. But if the rightwing gets it's way all media will be government controlled. No other network is as biased as Fox News. They are the only biased one.
