Fox News is the most trusted network in the US, so we might as well go home

Fox News has been named the most trusted network in the US.

Yup, despite more examples of questionable programming than we could actually include to link out to in this sentence, the news channel of Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity is number one in terms of trust.

The poll of 1,286 registered voters, conducted between February 26 and March 2 by Quinnipiac University, unsurprisingly found a sharp divide in exactly who is putting their trust in Fox News.

On his eponymous show last night, O'Reilly put forward a theory for why Fox News polarises opinion so much.

It is, of course, a liberal media conspiracy.

Hating Fox News is about competition, power and money, at the highest levels.

If FNC [the Fox News channel] did not exist, America would be a far different place. And the far-left ideology would have a far easier time. But we do exist, and now dominate the primetime news cycle. Not good news for progressive politicians, the liberal media and crazed zealots on both sides.
