"Forty-four percent (44%) of all adults say the Internet is the best way to get news and information."

The internet is providing more Americans with information than ever before, according to this Rasmussen poll:

Forty-four percent (44%) of all adults say the Internet is the best way to get news and information. Television comes in second, with 36% who still turn to the tube. Print newspapers are a distant third with just 11% who view them as the best source for news and information. Only nine percent (9%) still rely on radio.

Although more people turn to the Internet, they're less sure about the quality of the information they find there. Only 29% say the Internet is the most reliable source of credible news information. The plurality (40%) says broadcast news is the most reliable source. Twenty-one percent (21%) view newspaper that way.

Despite 40% of the Rasmussen sample saying that broadcast news is the most reliable source, 67% of Americans feel that they are better informed now than they were 10 years ago. This has to be in part because of the internet. The internet, for all its flaws, allows more transparency than any of our politicians (and sometimes television news sources) ever has.
