[Hoot Gibson]

As I understand it, and for Hoot's sake I will research it further, the death threat ratio spiked early into Obama's presidency, has receded somewhat, but still remains much higher than any President in recent history. But, for Hoot's sake, I'll look it up again. What I won't do is take the word of a network that is watched 16 to 1 by folks who find Glen Beck a Renaissance man of enlightenment. That I won't do.

:lmao: I gave you a link to a video of the US Director of the Secret Service correcting the record. Your response shows that you paid no attention to the information that I provided. The link was to the Politico website, which is not considered a conservative website. If anything, Politico leans a little to the left. Fox News Channel had nothing to do with my post but your absurd comments make for a nice segue into my next point.

Fox News Channel is the most trusted news network in the US. Where do you get the bogus "facts" that you posted above, the Daily Kos? MSNBC, perhaps? :biggrin:

Note that the following national survey of 1,151 registered voters was taken by PPP on January 18th and 19th. Maybe you should give Fox another look. Whatever source you are using is letting you down in a big way.

[INDENT]Fox leads for trust

Americans do not trust the major tv news operations in the country- except for Fox News.

Our newest survey looking at perceptions of ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News finds Fox as the only one that more people say they trust than distrust. 49% say they trust it to 37% who do not.

CNN does next best at a 39/41 spread, followed by NBC at 35/44, CBS at 32/46, and ABC at 31/46.

Predictably there is a lot of political polarization in which outlets people trust. 74% of Republicans trust Fox News, but no more than 23% trust any of the other four sources. We already knew that conservatives don't trust the mainstream media but this data is a good prism into just how deep that distrust runs.

For Democrats the numbers are a complete opposite- a majority trust all of ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC while only 30% have faith in Fox News. Continuing the trend in our polling over the last few months that independents hate everything, a plurality of them distrust all five outlets we looked at.[/INDENT]
