Last July, Politifact introduced scorecards to rank the truthfulness of statements made on major news networks.
Each of the news networks that we routinely follow -- ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC/MSNBC and CNN -- now has a scorecard that breaks down that network’s performance on the Truth-O-Meter. The scorecard tallies each statement we fact-check on that network and groups the rulings by percentage. [...]
Our scorecards only include statements made on that network by a pundit or a host or paid staffer. That means they do not include statements made by elected leaders, candidates or party officials. We feel it’s difficult to hold a network accountable for the comments of a politician.
Last September, the scorecard found that—surprise, surprise—Fox News had the worst record for truth-telling.
Right now, you can look at the MSNBC file, which also includes NBC, and see how that network’s pundits and on-air talent stand. For instance, currently 45 percent of the claims we’ve checked from NBC and MSNBC pundits and on-air personalities have been rated Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire.
At Fox and Fox News Channel, that same number is now 58 percent. At CNN, it’s 22 percent.
Wow. Granted that MSNBC's record isn't fabulous either, but more than half the statements at Fox are false or "mostly false." You'd think they couldn't get much worse than that. However, their most recent scorecards released this month show Fox has somehow managed to outdo themselves yet again.
At Fox and Fox News, 10 percent of the claims we’ve rated have been True, 11 percent Mostly True, 18 percent Half True, 21 percent Mostly False, 31 percent False and nine percent Pants on Fire.
That means about 60 percent of the claims we’ve checked have been rated Mostly False or worse.does it really matter those not watch Fox or MSNBC are going to believe more their channel and politics of choice the die hard will, well die hard. America is a country not so much of mystery but of gullible people that make decisions on the fly the most important ones like voting or the other party being disenfranchised so their party wins by cheating.
all it claims to stand for just doesn't ring true in the streets or homes of it's people, those that direct or lives instead of abiding by our votes and respecting them they seek power and fortune on our backs and our dime and somehow all the skulduggery, lies and misleading gets them what they want their thumbs on our necks and yet next election who knows will they again distort and scheme and silence legitimate voters with no help from those that are charged with helping us scotus, DOJ, politicians, or will we owe our souls to the Koch company store???
those media outlets that support and advocate for it's advancing should face laws or change their status to comedic satire and not news it not only hurts us on the other side it hurts their faithful because what happens to us happens to them, ain't no love in the city.
