Today's Poll: Of the three major cable news networks, which do you trust most?

By Howard B. Owens

Trust is an odd word-choice. I guess I trust all of them- to deliver news through their adopted editorial lens. I also trust all of them to manage news through criteria that favor entertainment value while posing no threat to advertising contracts. If the intent of this poll is rank in terms of journalistic integrity, maybe the phrasing should have been "faith." Then, again, who turns on a television in hopes of finding integrity? Last I knew, Edward R. Murrow was dead, and PBS lost in the switch to short-range HD.

How could it be? It was pre-determined.

Also, it got 844 votes. Also, pre-determined.

Guess God is pretty stupid to pre-determine such a thing.

Well Howard, I stand absolutely, positively corrected from my first post. I thought for sure this would balloon into a 100+ post topic :)

Well if I watch any of them the news is the same is why I think its a stupid poll but stupid predetermined things come from stupid thoughts. Sorry but God predetermined this too...lmao
