Fox News is the most—and least—trusted news network: survey
The station’s credibility took a hit, but it remains popular among many people.
The network’s ratings are down, and its credibility has taken a significant hit.
A Public Policy Polling study of credibility in news outlets shows that “Fox News has hit a record low in the four years that we’ve been doing this poll.” Only 41 percent of voters trust it, compared to 46 percent that do not trust it. That’s a decrease in trust of eight percent over the past three years.
