Fox News & Bill O’Reilly Are America’s Most Trusted News Sources
Paul Bedard reports in U.S. News & World Report:
In a stunning rejection of network news and nightly news anchors, cable news, driven by the Fox News Channel and mouthy Bill O’Reilly, is now the top most trusted source—by a mile.
In a new poll from Boston’s Suffolk University (PDF), more than a quarter of the nation says Fox is tops when it comes to who they trust the most and O’Reilly is the most believable.
“This poll shows two things: first, the network news have completely lost their brand. Second, the only network with any intensity is Fox News,” says Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center. “Bottom line: the more they attack Fox, the stronger it is getting,” he adds.

Jon Stewart Appears On ‘The O’Reilly Factor’ (Video)
From THR’s Live Feed blog:
Round One of Jon Stewart’s appearance on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.”
There wasn’t any big feud leading up to this moment, just six years of daily ideological opposition since Stewart’s last appearance on the show. Like a snake and mongoose dumped into the same room, you know something interesting is going to happen.
In the first segment, Stewart said he’s “torn” about President Obama’s performance.
“He has decided Congress is an equal branch of government — huge mistake,” Stewart said.
