Poll: Fox is both the most and least trusted news source


It's likely not a surprise that a majority (66 percent) of Republicans trust Fox News.
What is more surprising, though, is that Fox is both the most and least trusted news source, according to a new study from Public Policy Polling. Thirty-two percent of respondents said they trusted Fox News over ABC, CBS, Comedy Central, MSNBC, CNN, and NBC, while 30 percent of respondents said they trusted Fox the least.
The only network that Republicans and Democrats agree is reliable? PBS.
