“-——————and maybe 2% are equipped to read the Economist.”

I’m betting that you are including yourself in that 2%.

Bingo!
This is not even fiction. Where did they take this poll, at DNC HQS?
Why post #FakeNews here?
If I could only choose one mainstream media news source, it would be WSJ, even though I know they are establishment.
The best non-mainstream news publisher right now is Washington Free Beacon.
Broadcasting or cablecasting? Fox over OANN only because Fox can cover more of the world.
Internet news? Free Republic beats Drudge.
Public radio? Stop the BS. Real news is on OANN.
Are you in on some info that proves this is fake news? If so, let me in on it and I’ll publish a retraction.
Read the comments at link you posted. That’ll help explain it.
Interesting that they have to tell you that The Economist is actually a British weekly magazine. So I guess even the authors know that Americans have no idea what it is. Actually maybe that’s why it is the most trusted.
My comment when I posted this was “ What absolute grade “A” BS”. So according to some folks posts should not point out articles that appear to be “real” are actually “Grade “A” BS”.
There are a lot of articles I see on FR that when I look at the headline I decide not to read for one reason or another. That option is open to all on this site.
