Highlights
PBS is the most trusted source of news and public
affairs programming among the television networks.
Four in ten say they trust PBS a “great deal” in this
regard.  The next closest network, CNN, is judged this
way by one-third (33%), followed by Fox (30%). When
those who rate PBS news and public affairs
programming as “somewhat” trusted are combined with
the “great deal” ratings, the extent of trust people have in
PBS news rises to 83%, again the highest overall
trustworthiness rating of all of the networks.
