You know there's a problem with the media when Al-Jazeera is trusted more than NBC, CNN, and MSNBC. As Pew research's Journalism Project shows in the following table, the study attempted to measure not just whether people had heard of a variety of news sources, but which ones they really trusted when it came time to get straight info about politics and governments.

Is it that these are mistrusted ? Or are they just unpopular? It would seem to me that any mistrusted news source would quickly vanish from publication or distribution .
Neither are really news sources though, are they? Actually most aren't LOL

Yep. You got a star for that.
Journalism seems to be all about what's popular with certain viewers/listeners.
Drudge's placement surprised ... as it's news conglomeration. Funnier still was the placement disparity between "Glenn Beck" and "the Blaze" ... same # different smell.
