Howard Kurtz used a poll to bolster his argument on Sunday — and at the same time made his network look really bad!
The Fox News host introduced the latest numbers from Monmouth University to point out how 77% of the 800 people polled believed the media put up fake news sometimes.
(Of course, the numbers included those who said they sometimes made mistakes — which means we’d have had to say yes also! Everyone gets stuff wrong, and the majority of it comes out VERY quickly!)

Then he turned to talking about how people still trust the news over Donald Trump. The poll numbers went up and, well, see for yourself (above).
People trust Fox more than they trust Donald Trump — but they trust CNN and MSNBC a lot more!
Watch the host ignore the damaging part of the poll (below)!

In the context of the conversation, Kurtz was asking pollster Frank Luntz why people believed the news over Trump if it’s so fake. The answer is obvious: no one has ever come close to lying as much as Trump does. And easily disprovable lies too!
The question he should be asking is, WHAT ARE WE DOING AT FOX THAT MAKES PEOPLE TRUST US LESS THAN EVERYONE ELSE??
And he should direct that question to his colleague Sean Hannity.
