#1 I love the way they word this stuff. If you can't face the truth, ~~lie~~ re-word it - no?

Almost twice as many Republicans regularly watched Fox News in 2004, 34 percent, compared to 21 percent of Democrats. This is a stark change from 2000 and 2002, when about the same number of Republicans and Democrats watched Fox News.

Not surprisingly, about half, 52 percent, of Fox viewers consider themselves conservative, a change in ten percent over the past four years.

The survey also found that the increased popularity of Fox News among Republicans could be explained by a loss of faith in the credibility of other outlets. The number of Republicans who believe what they see on the networks or CNN has dropped by almost half in the last four years. But in that same four years, more Republicans have found Fox News credible.

If we are to believe the NYTWaPO crowd, the country is EVENLY divided between liberals and conservatives. IF half of Fox viewers are conservative then that means that Fox's viewers are just representative of the nation itself.

So what this is really saying is that CNN and NPR are losing BOTH viewers and credibility, whereas Fox pulls both liberals and conservatives equally

Also, they tell us The number of Republicans who believe what they see on the networks or CNN has dropped by almost half in the last four years...but what do the liberals think? Do they too think that it has lost credibility?

Rereading that first paragraph, I can't help but wonder if what this study really shows is that more people consider themselves "conservative" now, than before....AND...that CNN and NPR are losing credibility.
