That's interesting. Thanks for the link.

Quote:Overall, the study finds that consistent conservatives:
[...]
Are tightly clustered around a single news source, far more than any other group in the survey, with 47% citing Fox News as their main source for news about government and politics.
Express greater distrust than trust of 24 of the 36 news sources measured in the survey. At the same time, fully 88% of consistent conservatives trust Fox News.

It's not a good sign when you trust a network 58% of whose claims have been proven false.
