IMO, CNN has become farcical. All you get is a running editorial. Truly
hopeless. PBS is a more credible choice.

Report: Americans Vote PBS Most Trusted National Institution
For 15th consecutive year, PBS topped digital platforms, newspapers and courts
of law
February 13, 2018
By Michael Balderston
ARLINGTON, VA.-CNN may label itself as "the most trusted name in news," but the
American people have spoken and for the 15th year in a row, PBS comes out on
top as the most trusted national institution. PBS led all other sectors of
media and government that were included in the annual ranking, including
digital platforms, commercial cable and broadcast television, courts of law,
newspapers and social media.
The annual survey showed that 78 percent of respondents found that local PBS
member stations provided an excellent value to their communities. PBS and its
member stations came in second, only behind military defense, in value for
taxpayer dollars as 65 percent of respondents labeled it as a "good" or
"excellent" value.
Parents rated PBS Kids the best educational media brand for children and that
it was the top provider of content that helps prepare children for success in
school and models positive social and emotional behaviors. PBS Kids also
outperformed other providers with digital games and mobile apps.
Federal funding for public media, which amounts annually to $1.35 per citizen,
goes directly to local stations and helps sustain those rural and underserved
areas, according to the press release.
"For 15 years running, research has shown that PBS and our member stations have
earned the trust of the American public and are succeeding in providing
children with programming and services to help them succeed in school and
life," said Paula Kerger, PBS president and CEO. "In a time when trust in the
media has come into question, we are proud that PBS and our member stations
remain unmatched in trust and value to our nation."
Marketing & Research Resources Inc. conducted the national online poll in
January 2018.
