The media outlet with the most positive perception among the American public is explicitly and structurally apolitical: the Weather Channel. Other outlets are saturated with partisanship — like most things in America, writes Philip Bump in Analysis.
Which brings us to the bad news. The media outlet that has the most robustly positive perception among the American public is the one that is most explicitly and structurally apolitical: the Weather Channel. On pretty much everything else, the pattern is heavily saturated with partisanship — like most other things in America.According to the new data, the Weather Channel is viewed with more trust than distrust by a 53-point margin among Americans.
There’s a pattern that emerges from the data. Democrats are more likely to express trust in media outlets in general, with the party’s median level of trust at of 46 percent. Among Republicans, trust is lower; the median is 24 percent. You can see that big blob of outlets in the lower right. That reflects the medians expressed above: Democrats view more outlets with trust than Republicans, so those outlets land in that section of the graph.A few outlets are highlighted. Infowars is interesting: a fringe-right purveyor of baseless conspiracy theories, Democrats view it with slightly more trust overall almost certainly because Democrats give nearly everything higher trust scores.
We can look at the data a different way. We can roughly account for the partisan lean toward media by comparing each outlet’s trustworthiness score to the partisan median. So Fox News is below the median for Democrats and well above the median for Republicans, landing it in the top-left box below.
