NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – Fox News is the most trusted news source in the United States, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Monday. (To our readers: Quinnipiac University is an actual private, nonsectarian, coed university located in Hamden, Connecticut).
In comparison rankings, 29 percent responded that they trust Fox News the most. CNN follows with 22 percent, CBS News and NBC News are at 10 percent, ABC News at 8 percent and MSNBC at 7 percent.
The poll, conducted Feb. 26-March 2, polled 1,286 registered voters nationwide via landlines and cellphones, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
The poll was conducted in the 10 most remote areas of the U.S. Mainland, where the population is less than 15 people, mostly Republicans.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The White House today apologized for a major blunder during a luncheon it hosted for members of the media. It was a pre-State of the Union Address gathering to provide legitimate journalists and TV news anchors with advance highlights of President Obama’s speech.
“We sincerely apologize. We meant to invite only people, not animals, and certainly not foxes, to the lunch,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.
Two foxes were seated next to NBC’s Brian Williams, complete with place cards.
Atlanta, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles) –AirAsia flight QZ8501 went missing from radar en route to Singapore. The plane lost contact somewhere over the Java Sea and while there was no emergency or distress call, the pilot did request an altitude change citing severe weather just before the plane vanished from radar.
Like the still unsolved mystery of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the loss of contact with the AirAsia aircraft has triggered a fierce contest between cable news networks CNN and FOX News. Either network wants to be the first to solve the mystery.
CNN Aviation Analyst Mary Schiavo said that terrorism happens when it’s nice out, not when there’s bad weather which seems to be the case with AirAsia Flight QZ8501.
“At this point, given it was extremely bad weather, the chances of this being some sort of a terrorist activity are very small.,” Schiavo said, on television. “Because most terrorist activity takes place in good weather.”
TodayFox News host Anna Kooiman invited former FAA spokesperson Scott Brenner to discuss the difference in the way American pilots and non-American pilots were trained and if maybe that had anything to do with what happened to the Air Asia passenger jet.
While it seems pretty clear Brenner was probably about to address the difference in pilot training, Kooiman took the opportunity to highlight the dangers of the metric system and “a difference in the way that we measure things.”
“Even when we think about temperature, it’s Fahrenheit or Celsius,” she pointed out. “It’s kilometers or miles. You know, everything about their training could be similar, but different.”
Brenner agreed with Kooiman, saying that the U.S. should convert to the metic system since “we are the only country still using the imperial system.”
Then Kooiman’s co-host Charles Payne proceeded to blame Asian culture, saying that all Asian people will humbly and unquestioningly obey procedure even if that means crashing an airplane killing hundreds of people lest they bring shame and dishonor on their family.
For up-to-date analysis, wild speculation, out-of-this-world theories about what may have caused the AirAsia jetliner to go missing, tune in to either CNN or FOX News in the next 90 days. They could use your support to boost their ratings.
