Internet Gains Ground As Trusted News Source

Khammurabi writes "Yahoo is reporting that the younger generation is trusting internet news sources more and more. From the article, 'The survey confirmed that media consumption is shifting online for younger generations, as 19 percent of those aged 18 to 24 named the Internet as their most important source of news compared with 9 percent overall.' Also in the article is the factoid that Americans consider Fox News the most trustworthy national news program overall (coming in at 11%)."

Days of our Lives

I think the fact that we read about this survey on the internet says it all.

Personally, internet is my most important source of news, but also the least trusted. It's like watching "Days of our Lives", you simply don't want to miss a single episode, but it's the same emptiness after each one of them. This is also the reason why we just keep on posting comments even if it's a dupe.

What about News for Nerds?!?

Yeah, right. I'm supposed to take Yahoo.com's word for it?

To ride a recent wave...

...in the words of Stephen Colbert, "Fox News gives you both sides of every story: the president's side, and the vice president's side."
