Survey Says Sun the Least Trusted Tabloid
On a day like today it seems relevant to reflect on the public’s general distrust of tabloids. A Populus poll commissioned by lobbyists Open Road and released today has found that the public distrusts the Sun more than any other tabloid. 59% of the public distrust the Sun either “somewhat” or “completely”. The findings don’t make happy reading for the other redtops either, with 43% distrusting the Mirror, 39% the Mail and 32% the Express. Guido is happy to accept that this blog was categorised alongside the other tabloids and report that we are, err, less distrusted than all our tabloid rivals. We’re feeling pretty superior…
Open Road’s client News Corp will no doubt be pleased with their lobbying firm choosing today to further blacken the name of their biggest selling newspaper. Doh!
Well done Guido
So one can only conclude that Sun readers are more discerning than Guido readers.
What you are saying therefore is that Guido readers are as thick as the voters in Portsmouth. Well perhaps you have got a point there. Boaz.
Well most of us here in Portsmouth have to rely on Guido for news of Handycock because our local paper THE NEWS prefers us only to see happy and smily stories about our disgraceful MP.
Were Guido’s respondents surveyed in Tel Aviv?
Survey was conducted among a representative group of publicans.
They are however also voted as the least trusted. Impressive spin Guido

So only FOUR percent trust this site…
Interesting.
And 23% distrust it. Does that mean the rest are “don’t know”, “never heard of it” etc. I am impressed (? appalled) by the level of trust in the BBC compared to Sky. Personally I have taken to looking at Al Jazeera when I want an objective view.
Wonder why The Star has been excluded? Self censoring?
Well Open Road says that 32% folks distrust the Sexpress so if they distrust the Daily Star by 30% Dirty Des’ papers are less trust than the Sun, or on the other hand they do not consider the Daily Star a newspaper at all.
If its so distrusted why does it sell more copies than the others?
Coz it is the best.
Well quite.
There’s silicone in them there hills.
S. It is the tit & bum, the footy, and the piccies that sells the Sun.
Murdoch knows what sells papers, it certainly is not for intellectual stimulation, maybe other forms of stimulation
I don’t always trust myself to poo in the toilet
Gordy, the toilet is where you go to read the Sun
I use page 3 to wipe my knob.
While we’re not talking about the Sunday Telegraph, check out this letter printed there last week. Well worth a read.

A further survey confirms that bears shit in the woods.
Er.. How many of the 2000 actually know the Fawkes site?
Probably very few, if any, so how could they trust something they were unaware of. Or being thick am I missing something?
More to the point, we need to know exactly and when this poll was done.
*where* and…
LOL
Guido, once loyal Sun reader.
Prepare for a good old fashion lynching
Kelvin, Trev Kavanagh et al
The of course we will have Coulson and Brookes trials
Kelvin Mackenzie believed everything he was told by the authorities in the same way that Gordon Brown believed everything he was told by bankers.
But you do trust me – don’t you?
Dave, we trust you to fuck up everything that you get involved in.
Words to live by:

While congratulations are in order Guido you should not forget that a large percentage of sheep trust the BeeBC as well.
Are we little lambs who have lost their way?
“Doomed from here to eternity,
Lord have mercy on such as we,
Baa baa baa…”
Football fans should boycott “The Scum”.
Nar they would not desert the Tit & Bum all that footy, pictures and not least the aforsaid tit & bum
errrr didnt Bozzer recently start cozying up to Murdoch and his team of Mongs
Labour was never supported by ‘The Sun’
Labour has always been at war with ‘The Sun’.
What about B£liar then?
Labour was never supported by ‘The Sun’.
Labour has always been at war with ‘The Sun’.
Time for the two minute hate.
‘We hate Murdoch. We hate the bankers..’
Come on…
Labour have witten the Blair years out of their history
And Brown was not at fault for the banking crashes yet, just like McKenzie with the police fiction, he equally trusted what he was being told by the bankers. Which one was the bigger fuckwit?
Tabloid Blog or Blog Tabloid? Dead tree Blogging?
Bit cheeky Guido seeing as the figure who actually trust you rather than distrust was a lot lower? (4%?).
You may not be the most distrusted but you’re one of the lowest trusted…
I trust the BBC and the Guardian 100%.
to do what exactly ?
I only came to that conclusion after my lobotomy operation.
So what do you expect when you poll the goyim ?
I’m surprised that the figure for the Express is so low. It’s absolutely mind-blowing drivel nowadays. It makes the Mail look like a newspaper. Thankfully it has fewer “Diana new witness” headlines lately but still seems to have the regular “House price crash” story. Utter garbage.
Populus asked the public sample: “To what extent, if at all, do you trust each of the following media outlets to report fairly and accurately?”. They were given the options: Trust completely, trust somewhat, neither trust nor distrust, distrust somewhat, distrust completely. The figure quoted is the percentage who said they either trust the outlet somewhat or completely.
Guido Fawkes: 4%
Facebook: 7%
Twitter: 8%
The Sun: 9%
Daily Mirror: 13%
Daily Express: 17%
Daily Mail: 22%
i: 25%
The Times: 37%
Daily Telegraph: 39%
The Guardian: 39%
The Today Programme: 40%
The Independent: 41%
Sky News: 46%
Financial Times: 48%
ITV News: 61%
Channel 4 News: 61%
BBC News: 73%

See 25 above
41% trust The Indescribablyboring, yet only 25% trust The i which is, er, the same fucking paper.
And the number of people who trust this research? ’bout 0%, give or take.
SOULS?
Or Diamonds on the bottoms of your shoes?
No Sole was correct.
I am not a Dover Sole.

Reading the ‘Hillsborough’ Twitter-feed on t’BBC – lot’s of famous footballers giving it (eg)
‘ Former Liverpool player Stan Collymore
tweets: Reading every page of the findings. Honestly can’t believe what I’m reading. Anyone should be terrified about the level of cover up/smears. ‘
I wonder will anybody be able to make the giant mental leaps required to explain how Tony Blair got exonerated over the Iraq enquiry. Or how Brown absolved himself from any blame over the ‘global economic disaster that started in America and has fuck all to do with me?’
Hillsborough? Establishment cover-ups/smears?
Tip of the ice-berg.
Have you read Härry’s piece in the commentator? While the Beeb now do their utmost to pin everything on Thatcher, the comments below the article suggest a failure of investigating other possible causes. Ignorance ain’t bliss.

Considering that over 20 years ago in the original Judicial Enquiry the South Yorkshire Police were blamed for the tragedy and the Liverpool supporters absolved of all blame it wasn’t a very successful cover-up.
Ffs. People trust the BBC news! Fools.
I trust the BBC to twist and mislead all items to show then in a leftie, greeny, anti Israeli. pro-Europe, anti banker, anti Romney, anti Enland slant
You forgot the other pro, viz pro- immigration.
Do you trust The Washington Post? Yes
Have you ever read it? No
Poop! Poop! Poop! Poop! What a stunning means of conducting a poll! … Oh, how its fenders gleamed and glowed! … That’s the Life on the Open Road
Don’t get Ratty.
The fenders need tuning. Ask Mr Chicken for some tips.
The biggest culprit in in all this is the state itself. And yet it is the loony left who think the state should have more control. More control over education and health. More control over industry and businesses. More nationalisation.
The state is the enemy of freedom and the truth and the loony left are the soldiers of the state.
Not only the loony left;the EU have the same ideology.
In case it had passed you by, the EU are THE loony left personified. Do try to keep up at the back
Just took a quick peek at the innocence of Muslims on You tube to see what all the fuss is about and I can’t see what all the fuss is about. Wery touchy people.
No doubt YouTube will take a commercial decision to ban it though.
Get lost, Zioloon.
I distrust them …..but I but them
Cutting the bottom off the graph so that it makes 59% look 8 times as big as 23% doesn’t inspire trust. It may be an old, old trick, but that doesn’t make it any better.
Lets have a survey for the Police and MPs
FT, Independent and Guardian most trusted papers!!! You lot must be gutted. Didn’t expose that one Guido…
So, all is clear; the poll was conducted round Islington High Street.
As far as the Sun goes few people up here even know what it has said for the past 25 years. I expect local newsagents will have keep what few copies they order under the counter for the time being.
Guido: seriously, please don’t split the axis like this. It makes your graphs look like they belong on a lib dem election leaflet.
I love how on an infographic for communicating how honest he is, Guido has made the ‘distrust’ bar look more than 6 times smaller than it actually is.
Afraid you are the least trusted, Guido; but only because people instinctively trust least what they don’t know.
Don’t try spinning it any other way – leave that to ‘The Open Road’, whose “Power,
Principles and the Press” reports reeks of the kind of self-congratulatory jargon that might actually comfort client News Corp, it’s so inept!
Actually these numbers clearly demonstrate that guidophiles are far more credulous than taboid readers.
I’lll buy the Sun when Kelvin gets ‘taken out’.
I trust the Sun as much as i trust any politicain,NONE !!!

I am a little be confused here.
Press Gazette reported this: “The report singled out popular political blogger Guido Fawkes as even less trusted with 4 per cent trusting the Order-Order blog to report “fairly and accurately”.”

Are you “feeling superior” now?
I meant “I am a little bit confused here”
Damn.
