The MSM are Running Headlines about How Much they are Trusted: But the Data is Wrong...
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 03/09/2017 1:30:33 PM PST by davikkm

The major poll that shows who the most trusted news networks are is a fake. The data is flawed and biased, the samples are weighted in favour of the “expected results” and the conclusions are erroneous. IN this article, we’ll show you exactly where the lies come from and look at why such a poll was first conducted.

The poll was carried out by Morningconsult.com on the 1st and 2nd of December last year and their results show that ABC, CBS, WSY, NYT and CNN are among the “most credible news sources” in the US. News sources that were deemed “not credible” (or with a low credibility rating) were Breitbart, Infowars and The Onion.

The media saying they’re trusted is like saying “herpes is more trusted than gonorrhea!”

It's not an article, it's a blog post.

There is no "we".. just you, Bloggy McBlogface.

And why not post your "material" in full?

The fist step in improving is to admit that you have a problem.

The article makes a good point about the sample and how the question is structured.

Worth reading.

They ought to run a story telling us how popular they are because anyone watching who has half a brain assumes the exact opposite of whatever they report. The rest are too far gone to worry about.

The MSM can say what they want. No one believes them they have zero credibility and are liars. So the only ones listening to them are the loony left.

This is like walking in for no reason and announcing to your wife how you are really a faithful guy. Try it for fun.

If any appreciable number of people believed them, Hillary would be prez.

They duped some people, and everyone else that voted for her was paid to do so (either through welfare or workfare - gubmint workers)...

The set of data IS wrong.
The sets of data ARE wrong

If he says the data IS wrong he is implying one set of data.

Exactly. The Onion is a satire site.

This is like saying that Mad Magazine or The National Lampoon are deemed the least credible news sources.

Maybe the whole study and any conclusions is a JOKE then. :)

Canucks and Brits have a different definition of plural nouns. Datum is singular. If you say Sets of ____, then you are fine. Otherwise a colloquialism.
