most popular news networks
Fox News is the most trusted national news channel. And itâs not that close. The poll found 29 percent of people say they trust Fox News' coverage the most, followed by 22 percent for CNN and 10 percent for NBC News and CBS News. Fox News' figures are unsurprising considering its ratings. The channel ended 2014 second only to ESPN in total viewers among all ad-supported basic cable networks. Its America's Newsroom, The Five, Special Report with Bret Baier and The O'Reilly Factor were the most-watched shows in their time slots among all cable stations. Put simply: Fox News is a ratings juggernaut.
