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.
That's sweet.
It should be noted that the author of that article is himself a very-well-compensated on-air employee of CNN.
I don't believe THAT for a moment.
