Fox News is the most trusted TV news source in America
Fox News is more trusted than any other major TV news source, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Monday. Twenty-nine percent of respondents picked Fox as the news source they trust the most, while 22 percent said CNN. NBC and CBS tied for third with 10 percent apiece, followed by ABC (eight percent) and MSNBC (seven percent.)
Not surprisingly, there's a huge partisan split on the issue. While 35 percent of Republicans trust Fox News "a great deal," only 11 percent of Democrats say the same.
Other polls have similarly found Fox News trumping the competition in the trust department.
