    I will give you several to pick from.
    You can state why as to your pick.
    I'm looking to figure out who is the most likely NOT to be watched.
    Thank you

    Although it's probably something of a tossup between MSNBC and CNN, I selected MSNBC if for no other reason than that it was founded and maintained by NBC . . . which purports to be politically neutral. All MSNBC, however, does is openly promote the radical leftist agenda which NBC fully endorses in a somewhat more subtle manner. MSNBC accurately reflects the heart and soul what the three traditional and mirror image broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have become over time and right before the nation's eyes.

    Given the way ESPN has been the last year I should have included them.

    If the left's MSM partners covered the previous President the same way they are covering the current President, there would be riots in the streets.

    It was a toss up between CNN and MSNBC, but CNN seems to get the greatest play, and given their bias and their objective, I picked them. MSNBC doesn't shy away from proclaiming their liberal creds. You get what you pay for.

    CNN tries to proclaim they are a legitimate unbiased reporter of news. That makes them the worse in my eyes.

    I would say Fox News was the least trusted.

    Why is MSNBC listed as a news network when back in 2013 MSNBC came out and publicly admitted...
    "MSNBC denies it is a news network"





    CNN is the least trusted news network by news junkies and the well informed.
    CNN is # 1 for fake news and got busted for being in collusion with the DNC and the Hillary campaign just like how the New York Times was busted for being in collusion with the Hillary campaign.

    CNN and Fox “news” (Both are not news stations, they are entertainment and OP ED stations) both have spotty records when it comes to fact checking.

    Associated Press stringers are the best source for news.

    The AP is a different animal, they sell news to other newspapers, radio and television news networks while at the same time other newspapers, radio and television networks contribute news stories to the AP.

    In 2013 the AP adopted political correctness. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press#Illegal_immigrant

    From Wikipedia that isn't a reliable source and should only be used as a starting point for further research and always remember to go to the Wiki "Talk Page" when using Wikipedia !!!

    "Trusted" leaves open the question of if the people are correct to trust it. Ignoring that, the least trustworthy would be Russia Today. Closely followed by Fox News.

    In all cases bias tends to be more according to topic or hot button issue of the moment. There are issues that CNN, MSNBC and others are quite biased on. Same is true of Fox and RT. Some of this is expressed in subtle wording and presentation of news in a preferred slant. Other times, blatant lies and distortions.

    The mistake is in believing that just because a particular news outlet pleases you most of the time, that you are right and reaffirmed. The risk and damage of bias is as heavy on the side of the viewing public as it is on those who feed them and entertain them.

    Evidently you haven't watched it much, I have seen many debates between people interviewed from both sides of the issues, something I don't see on other networks.

    I recall seeing some studies of viewership in many media markets. All the big cable channels were poor losers to local TV news stations.

    Generally, I like a variety of sources to choose from. I closely follow Fox News, European news services (some of which are very liberal), and generally trustworthy polling services. I used to watch RT a lot, particularly for the extremely useful and often fascinating economic reviews -- especially "The Keiser Report" (Max Keiser).

    Now, since RT was thrown off of the Samsung Smart Hub of apps last year, it is no longer possible to simply tune in RT as a "TV channel" anymore. I've often wondered who the hell did that! Nobody at Samsung 'customer service' was able to tell me why this was done, or, how to get RT back in my Smart Hub.

    But sources like MSNBC, NBC, CNN, PBS, CBS? Little there but manipulated, distorted, spun-up bullshit! They've made a real science out of creating 'fake news', and, totally ignoring REAL news....

    FoxSpews is the most distrusted and hated news network in the world. Or as I call it. State Television.
