Of 29 free nations surveyed in the Digital News Report 2021, U.S. “trust” in the media ranked 46th of 46. And cable TV is the worst, according to the report from Oxford University and the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. The 164-page report said, “Cable news channels Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC have some of the highest levels of distrust.”
