Here Are The Most- And Least-Trusted News Outlets In America
Content: The most trusted news outlets in America, according to a new study from Pew Research Center, are actually British. BBC and The Economist top the list of outlets that are trusted by every ideological group, while BuzzFeed and The Rush Limbaugh Show are at the bottom. Check out the chart: Pew Research Center
Conservative-leaning news outlets seem to be the least trusted among those with a mixed political ideology. Liberal-leaning outlets like Mother Jones and ThinkProgress also rank lower than major media players like The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. The news outlets that are considered trustworthy by every ideological group don't equate to the most popular outlets, however. Americans say they get most of their political news from local TV, Facebook, and major networks like CNN and Fox News. CNN and Fox News both had a high trust rating overall, but there is more of a dispute between ideological groups about whether they're trustworthy. For example, 88% of consistent conservatives said they trust Fox News, but only 14% said they trust CNN. For the study, Pew surveyed a representative sample of randomly selected Americans, polling nearly 3,000 people earlier this year.
