This comes from the most recent Pew poll. CNN had the highest rating among news sources that were mentioned in the poll, with something like 40% who said they always trusted what they said.

The same poll also determined that 21% had never even heard of Tom Daschle, so it's hard to imagine that these people even know what's being reported on the news.

Here is a small excert from the Washinton Post... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45177-2002Aug5.html

You will not be shocked to learn that partisan affiliation plays a role. While 57 percent of Democrats and 56 percent of independents see the media as biased, 69 percent of Republicans surveyed feel that way.

Now let's name some names. The highest rating for credibility – believing all or most of what's reported – goes to CNN at 37 percent, says Pew. Followed by "60 Minutes" (34 percent), "20/20" (31 percent), C-SPAN (30), MSNBC (28), "Dateline" (28), local TV news (27), CBS (26), the Lehrer NewsHour (26), NBC (25), ABC (24), Fox (24) and NPR (23).

Partisan differences surface here too. To wit, 45 percent of Democrats say they believe all or most of what they see on CNN, compared with 32 percent of Republicans. Roughly equal proportions of Dems and GOPers (28 and 27 percent) say Fox News is credible.
