Roger Ailes, the name behind the most trusted name in news.
 
A poll of 1,151 registered American voters were asked how much they trusted each of the major television news networks.  The network that came out on top?  The Fox News Channel.

“49% of Americans say they trust Fox News to 37% who disagree,” the poll’s authors wrote.  “Predictably there is a large party split on this with 74% of Republicans but only 30% of Democrats saying they trust the right leaning network.”

“CNN does next best because it is the second most trusted of Democrats, Republicans, and independents. 39% say they trust it compared to 41% who do not, with 59% of Democrats, 33% of independents and 23% of Republicans saying it carries credibility with them.”  “The major networks all have the majority trust of Democrats but less than 20% from Republicans. NBC, perhaps because of the ideological bent of MSNBC, does the best among Democrats at 62%. Overall 35% of voters trust it to 44% who do not.  CBS does the worst among Republicans, with 69% distrusting it.  A plurality of independents express distrust of all five outlets we tested.
