Americans of opposing political parties are sharply divided on how much they trust the news reported by national media organizations, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll. YouGov asked 1,500 Americans where they get their news from and how much they trust a variety of prominent media organizations and news anchors. In fact, the most Americans overall place trust in an organization that rarely covers domestic politics: the Weather Channel (52% of Americans trust it). The most politically polarizing media outlet is CNN, a cable news outfit that has been a frequent target for Donald Trump. The most agreement between Democrats and Republicans about which media organizations to trust comes with The Weather Channel.
