What an understatement! Immediately following the election, I resolved one of my issues going forward, no more FOX. No FOX TV (Blocked) & no FOX satellite radio. Next issue on my plate, how exactly to hand the unavoidable cuts in my discretionary spending for '13 based on the new 3.8% tax on Financial transactions & the upcoming change (% INCREASE) in tax on Capital Gains, etc. The clear change for those retired w/o a lavish pension. A need to cut discretionary spending. I hope the numerous Charities in America are aware of the likely cut in donations from those over 65 that will feel a greater impact on this taxing of savings which are held more by those approaching 65 than by those under 35. Please, not Google # to defend or argue. One time post as this is my 1ST & likely only visit to this MB. In closing, I made my share, saved & I live off my Investments which now involves these taxable financial transactions. All part of my new found status as a minority! Clear change but for me, little hope. America has changed & it is more than her demographics that have changed.

Poll: Fox most trusted name in news Tags: Media, NBC, CNN, Polls, MSNBC, ABC News, Fox News, CBS News [iframe id=iframe_odiogo_0 height=0 src="" frameBorder=0 width=290 name=iframe_odiogo_0 scrolling=no][/iframe] By ANDY BARR \| 1/27/10 7:38 AM EDT A poll finds that 49 percent of Americans trusted Fox News, 10 percentage points more than any other network. AP Photo Fox is the most trusted television news network in the country, according to a new poll out Tuesday. A Public Policy Polling nationwide survey of 1,151 registered voters Jan. 18-19 found that 49 percent of Americans trusted Fox News, 10 percentage points more than any other network. Thirty-seven percent said they didn’t trust Fox, also the lowest level of distrust that any of the networks recorded. There was a strong partisan split among those who said they trusted Fox — with 74 percent of Republicans saying they trusted the network, while only 30 percent of Democrats said they did. CNN was the second-most-trusted network, getting the trust of 39 percent of those polled. Forty-one percent said they didn’t trust CNN. Each of the three major networks was trusted by less than 40 percent of those surveyed, with NBC ranking highest at 35 percent. Forty-four percent said they did not trust NBC, which was combined with its sister cable station MSNBC. Thirty-two percent of respondents said they trusted CBS, while 31 percent trusted ABC. Both CBS and ABC were not trusted by 46 percent of those polled. “A generation ago you would have expected Americans to place their trust in the most neutral and unbiased conveyors of news,” said PPP President Dean Debnam in his analysis of the poll. “But the media landscape has really changed, and now they’re turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear.” The telephone poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
