slants, biased, whatever people want to call it. Fox news is on one side and MSNBCS, Commondreams, TRUTHOUT, etc are on the other.

I just used the words used previouslyslaphead


It isn't even slant or bias, it is stupidity.... It isn't even politically slanted, it is educationally deficient slaphead

I could understand if it was slanted or bias. This even goes to another level of ignorance and stupidity....spock


Just like sources on the other side that people believe as true.

Both sides have slants, biased, lies, whatever.

Both sides have politicians that are ruining this country.

It happens on ALL SIDES whoa

I'm not a Fox fan. But I can see it's on all sides. When the media can report on all sides equally, then I MIGHT pay attention

The media is stirring up a lot of hypocrisies and biased information on ALL SIDES.

NO side is innocent in this!!!

Plus...I don't hold surveys/polls to be accurate. I don't who who people polled or what spin they put in it.

The OP article is not a credible poll or source

laugh of course there are slants on both sides. The problem is one side thinks their sources are unbiased when they are just as biased as the other side. laugh



by george, someone gets it,,

coming back to that undeniable fact that people base their 'truth' and 'reality' in what they read and hear

and the FAITH They have in the credibility of what they read and hear from some sources over that of other sources,,,,

Its the poll that is biased. They give no information on how the survey was taken, the age group, how many people, the margin of error, etc.

In my life I have known plenty of people that have watched Fox news yet I have not met a single adult that believed in Santa. I would question anyones intelligence who doesn't question some of the percentages on this so called survey. Especially any survey that has 100% anywhere on it.

Faux News is dumbing down people because stupid people are easier to influence.

The poll is as accurate as any other.

Which is really here nor there on this one.

If any amount of Americans believe this they are very ignorant and that is a concern to all.

I think our culture dumbs people down in general,, too much information and too much of it is misinformation

I do tend to believe it makes sense that those who view news SATIRE programs may be more open to more accurate information, because such shows usually make fun of the SLANT and FEAR TACTICS used by mainstream

and then there are those who watch news satire and think its meant to inform them of something,,,which is a whole other demographic of viewers..lol

No it doesn't.

The people on the "other" side do not believe this ignorant garbage so it is not happening there.

I know it is the only defense available though....

Ok this is me officially questioning your intelligence. Why don't you start asking people you know who watch Fox if they believe Santa is real and see how close to 24% you get.

Not to mention you automatically assume all polls are created equal when we already mentioned the lack of information they provide about how they took the poll. And you complain about the people that blindly listen to Fox. Hypocritical much?

Very true. People on all sides just believe what a media source says as the gospel.

I'm glad they are people that can see the hypocrisies of all sides

I agree with the sentiment , but not the advice, as people gneerally know and hang around those of like minds

for instance, I could show statistics on black males in jail, even though I dont personally know ONE of the black males ,,,it doesnt mean the statistics are wrong,,,,

Hey, I am not the one blindly believing poll numbers that any logical person would believe is untrue. But I welcome any person on this sight that watches or knows anyone that watches Fox news to give their opinion on Santa.

Okay, i guess I have to break it down here. Faux News cannot teach the people the answers on the poll and still be considered news.

So they allow their watchers to be dumb and they do not challenge the dumbness at all so they can then have an audience that buys into their anything,

So this is not bias, slant or whatever,.... it is pure ignorance that is perpetuated by the news channel.

This does not happen on the "other" side.... I have read the commentary on that side and there is a great difference...
