The following is from Rasmussen Reports.
A new Rasmussen Reports survey shows that a majority of likely voters say it has become harder to find trustworthy political news in recent years. Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters say it’s more difficult now to find accurate political news they can trust, while only 16% say they find it easier. Meanwhile, 25% say the accuracy of political news has remained about the same.
When it comes to where voters get their political news, 33% say they trust independent online sources the most. By comparison, 29% say they trust major cable news channels, and 24% say they rely on network TV news. The trend shows growing skepticism of mainstream media outlets, with more voters seeking alternative sources online.
Forty percent (40%) of conservatives say they are most likely to trust Fox News, while 25% say they prefer Newsmax. Among self-identified liberal voters, 40% say they trust CNN the most, while 31% say they prefer MSNBC. Moderate voters are almost evenly split between Fox News (28%) and CNN (26%) as their most trusted cable news sources. These findings align with broader concerns over media bias, as many say they feel traditional news outlets prioritize agendas over truthful reporting.
The survey of 1,465 U.S. likely voters was conducted on October 9-10 and 13, 2024, with a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points.

I used to search for primary sources to confirm news items, but with the advent of AI, we can’t even rely on that.
Thank you, Sharyl for being a journalist. I think about 90% of the media who call themselves journalists, are reporters being used as the propaganda arm of the Democrat party.
