Source For News For American Adults

More than half of Americans still get their news primarily from television (print, radio, and internet are way behind).

Although I don't think it's statistically significant, FOX is beating CNN for news: 8% to 7%. Lousy, lousy numbers one might say.  But FOX and CNN at 8% and 7% are almost ten times the number of folks who say they get their news from ABC (1%), and NBC (1%).

Twenty-six percent (26%) of Americans did not mention a specific news source on television. CNBC was mentioned by less than 1%. MSNBC was also at 1%, ABC. Those garnering 1% were listed in this order: ABC, MSNBC, Univision, NBC, BBC, PBS.

But this was most, most interesting: CBS was almost at the very bottom of the list, not even hitting 1%; CBS was below CNBC. Incredible.

Speaking of "news," I can't wait to see what the O'Bama administration ends up calling the "coup" in Egypt

My hunch is: it won't matter. Monarchs simply pick and choose the "laws" they like.
