Americans do not trust the liberal national media to provide them with accurate, fair, and balanced news. A recent poll conducted by The Brookings Institution and Public Religion Research Institute found that only 23 percent of Americans consider the national broadcast news networks to be their most trusted news outlet, but 26 percent of independents listed FOX News as their most trusted network, compared to only 17 percent who chose the broadcast networks. The least trusted network, according to the poll, is MSNBC. Only 5 percent of Americans selected that network as their must trusted news source. Americans' distrust of the liberal national media will continue to grow until the media stops telling them what to think. There is a good reason why FOX News has been the highest rated cable news network for 12 straight years. ____________________
