Pew Survey Reveals Deep Partisan Media Trust Divide

News summary

A recent Pew Research Center survey highlights a deeply polarized U.S. media landscape, with Republicans and Democrats gravitating toward different news sources and showing varying levels of trust. Republicans overwhelmingly rely on Fox News (57%) and the Joe Rogan Experience (22%), while Democrats prefer a broader mix of outlets including ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, and The New York Times. Forbes and The Wall Street Journal are the only two of 30 surveyed news sources trusted by a majority of both parties. Democrats report higher trust in national news organizations (81%) than Republicans (53%) and tend to trust a wider array of outlets. Some crossover exists, with 18% of Democrats getting news from Fox News and 20% of Republicans watching CNN, but distrust remains high, especially among Democrats toward Fox News and Rogan's podcast. These findings underscore persistent partisan divides and the challenges of a fragmented news environment.
