These are the most — and the least — trusted news sources in the U.S.

Not real surprising.

From the article.
Quote:The results were based on a survey of more than 8,000 people conducted by 28 media organizations in the U.S. Participation was voluntary but respondents tended to reside near the news outlets that made the questionnaire available on their websites, and leaned toward the liberal side of the political spectrum.
So it was another paint-by-numbers poll by the Fake Media?

I read that, too.   I think, based on the quote you provided, the "poll" was pointless and not even worth publishing.

agreed...It's just like polling mostly rednecks about what is the best gay bar...seriously why not just poll mostly Muslims about what is their favorite Christian holiday
