I had a very short and easy survey. You can lead horses to water, but can't make them drink. I only received 2 responses, eep! Really is this enough for analysis?
The 2 respondents, one male and one female, reported that they read news online at least 3 or more times daily. One even has a news site as their homepage. Their favorite news sites were New York Times and Yahoo News. When asked to categorize news sites as being biased or objective, both respondents said that FoxNews was biased, both reported CNN and their favorite news source as unbiased. The respondents had split views regarding objectivity in reporting for msnbc, NPR and ESPN.
I was not surprised at the results of the poll. I think it's generally accepted that FoxNews has an agenda :) the only ones who don't see it are the ones that have succumbed to the not so subtle brainwashing. I'm glad that the respondents believe that their own favorite news sites are not biased! That means that there is hope, that journalism and the search for true information is not quite dead.
