Yeah, but even thinking about the conservatives I know, yes, they can be smart and run a business or be an executive but by most criteria I think important most of them are not really intelligent. They are hardly ever creative or open minded. They believe in religious nonsense but not in AGW science. They tend to think that being gay is a choice and that being Christian means going to church. Anyone or thing that they find unusual they tend to reject or make fun of. They dumbly wave the flag and uncritically support everything the military does.
They think Fox News is fair and balanced.
But maximoron never even stated what is fact or not. Yet you just uncritically support what he says. Which of pants on fire is not pants on fire?
Quite a bromance, isn't it?
Fox News Tops Poll of National News Trustworthiness; MSNBC Ranked Last
Quinnipiac is out with a new poll today examining several media issues, and in the question of which national news outlet is the most trusted, Fox News comes out on top.
20 percent said they trust Fox News’ coverage “a great deal,” compared to 14 percent each for NBC, CBS, and ABC, MSNBC’s 11 percent, and 18 percent for CNN.
And a total of 29 percent say they trust Fox News’ coverage the most, with CNN in second place with 22 percent. (MSNBC only gets 7 percent.) Overall, though, a little less than half of everyone polled said the overall trustworthiness of the national news has gone down since the days of Walter Cronkite.
The poll also asks about Brian Williams and Bill O’Reilly, both at the center of controversies about trustworthiness. 42 percent say NBC should let Williams back on the nightly news, while only a total of 23 percent think either O’Reilly should be fired or suspended. And a whopping 51 percent said they just don’t know enough about the controversy in the first place.
The poll also found Tina Fey as the most popular choice to succeed Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.

We could go after specific issues if you like, but to be fair we'd have to do it with all networks.
At least we don't experiment with each other in the dark. Which Judy song does your "partner" like?
Fox News is extremely fair and balanced relative to MSNBS.

Maximoron strikes again....
About the only thing I think can be proved with such a poll is how "truthy" a viewer of a given network finds them in comparison with other networks they know about. And that is really just subjective nonsense when one gives it any thought.
Think about it, how can someone who has never watched Fox News rate their "truthiness"?
So the poll really speaks more about the viewers and how gullible/programmed they are than anything about the network.
