Posted here Wednesday, June 09, 2004 at 9:32:35 AM     Worth reading Fact Check  http://www.campaigndesk.org/ Who Do You Trust? No one, if a new poll by the Pew Research Center is any indication. Howard Kurtz reports on the poll in this morning's Washington Post, highlighting this surprising finding: While 45 percent of Democrats polled find CNN credible, neither Democrats nor Republicans found Fox News Channel credible. The actual numbers aren't very encouraging for either outlet: Democrats favor CNN (45 percent) over Fox (24 percent) as a credible source of news, while Republicans trust neither, with only 29 percent trusting Fox and 26 percent trusting CNN. And goes on to give low numbers for everyone, including c-span, which is hard to understand. Best interpretation: what feels real to people  is not getting into the news, not being explained. Actually showing citizen wisdom. ********
