According to new research by the Public Policy Polling (PPP), trust in the mainstream propaganda network, Fox News, has hit a record low.
The poll found that:
41% of voters trust it to 46% who do not. To put those numbers into some perspective the first time we did this poll, in 2010, 49% of voters trusted it to 37% who did not.
It asked which outlet Americans trusted the most, and somehow Fox came in on top:
34% say Fox is the one they trust the most, compared to 13% for PBS, 12% for CNN, 11% for ABC, 8% for MSNBC, 6% for CBS, and 5% each for Comedy Central and NBC.
The poll also found which outlets Americans trusted the least, again with Fox topping the chart.
39% of Americans trust Fox the least, followed by:
14% for MSNBC, 13% for CNN, 12% for Comedy Central, 5% for ABC and CBS, 3% for NBC, and 1% for PBS.
