CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC and CBS used to be "THE" trusted places to get television news.  Most of the time they got the news off of "the wire" (AP).  Even now though the AP has a bias that leans left.

Many people today get their "news" from social media, including supposed "news" organizations.  If/when you do watch a "news channel" or news broadcast on any television channel often times the "source" is Twitter.  This goes for both "hard news" and "sports news".

Journalism is a dead occupation.

I personally don't watch the news on television, rather I browse the websites of several "news" organizations then do my own research depending on the story/headline.  However I'm sure that there are millions like me that will disregard a news "story" by just reading the headline.

When I do watch news, I only watch BBC News. They have been the least biased news organization I have seen, as they don't tend to lean right or left. I certainly don't get my news from social media, mainly because I have no social media. I like staying off the social grid. This forum is about as close as I get to any kind of social media.
