Watch out. America is moving to the right, and it’s happening fast. The vote in Massachusetts was an ideological earthquake whose tremors are still being felt all over the country. When a big-government guy like President Obama takes to the lectern to announce he wants to freeze some federal spending, you know hell might be freezing over, as well.
But nowhere is the rejection of liberal doctrine seen more clearly than in the television news industry. Last week, Fox News Channel, the only network that has brought some scrutiny to Obama from the beginning, was the No. 1 rated cable operation in America
In addition, the Democratic outfit Public Policy Polling released a stunning scientific survey. It asked Americans which TV news operation they trusted. Hide the kids; here are the results:
Fox News: 49 percent trust, 37 percent don’t trust.
ABC News: 31 percent trust, 46 percent don’t trust
NBC News: 35 percent trust, 44 percent don’t trust
CBS News: 32 percent trust, 46 percent don’t trust
CNN: 39 percent trust, 41 percent don’t trust
This is a rout. Nearly half the country trusts FNC, and nobody else is even close. Can you imagine the Fox bashers at NBC and The New York Times reading this poll? I’d pay to see the reaction.
