Internet Gains Ground As Trusted News Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they-must-not-read-this-site dept.

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%)."

  1. Sounds like liberal bashing to me! by Guuge · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How many liberals would jump to the defense of a major news network before even a word of criticism is uttered? Almost none. Yet you have to defend one and attack all liberals at the same time, even though the article has nothing to do with liberalism and has not mentioned any flaws of Fox News.

    You may not realize it, but you are reinforcing certain stereotypes regarding blind loyalty and subservience among conservatives.
