Salon found this poll terrifying. The alphabet networks are fairly low in this poll.
A new poll conducted by Quinnipiac University found that Fox News is the most trusted news network in the country. The survey, which asked respondents to compare the trustworthiness of major network and cable news networks, found that 29 percent ranked Fox News first. CNN came in second at 22 percent, followed by CBS News and ABC News (both at 10 percent). ABC News and MSNBC received eight and seven percent of the vote, respectively.
These results are tempered when analyzed across party lines - 58 percent of Republicans said they trusted Fox News the most, along with 25 percent of independent voters. The Democratic vote, however, was split. 32 percent trust CNN, 15 percent trust NBC News, while only 14 percent turn to CBS News or MSNBC.
To be sure, Fox News has to deflect accusations that Bill O'Reilly fabricated a large number of frequently cited stories from his days as a reporter.
