Be honest, who would you rather trust?

Joseph Goebbels? Or Fox News?

I'm very serious.. sorta.
The thought occured to me while watching some Fox News on Fox Rochester, and then flicking to the History Channel to see them mention something on Goebbels.

So, with all this "Fix news is bad" stuff going around, who would you trust more with information?

EDIT: Poll there now.

One is dead, the other dead idiotic. Neither.

I have no clue who Goebblers is, but anything is more trustworthy than Fox news.

Fox News. Despite what some people say (without any evidence to back it up), Fox is not right-wing fascist propaganda. It is right-leaning, but no more so than say, CNN is left-biased.

He was the Nazi propaganda minister. You know, the short guy who got everyone riled up.

Aren't Goebbels and Fox News similar?

Both stretch the truth.

That's why I posted it.
Given two choices you percieve as evil, which do you choose?

Joseph Goebell's because I can pick out the truth from his writing. Somethings he wrote were true (Katyn Forest), but most of it was racist shit that I can pick out with considerable ease.

No assumption, I used the word "percieve" for a reason, as it denotes an oppnion and not fact.
Or rather the fact that such an idea is an oppnion.

lol, I can't believe Goebbels is winning. Remember people, Goebbels was a guy who makes FOX look left-wing by comparison.

Yea, but you know he's full of BS. At least Fox tries to disguise it, or mix it in with truth.

Exactly, I know exactly how much truth goebells is giving me, virtually nill. Fox news I can the same.
