Of course this cartoon, trusted by you, is not true---this study was done in 2020, not 2021:

How we evaluated Americans’ trust in 30 news sources | Pew Research Center

These questions allowed us to measure things a few different ways. For example, we could examine trust gaps between different groups of people for different news outlets. We found that CNN is trusted by 70% of self-described liberal Democrats, but only 16% of conservative Republicans – a gap of 54 percentage points. Conversely, Fox News is trusted by 75% of conservative Republicans but only 12% of liberal Democrats – a 63-point gap.

Asking about both trust and distrust also allowed us to examine the “ratio” between these two measures for each outlet. Fox News, for instance, is among the sources in this study trusted by the largest percentage of Americans, with 43% of U.S. adults saying they trust it for political news. But it is also among the sources with the largest portion who distrust it – 40% of Americans express this view. Since that’s the case, we classified Fox News as “about equally trusted and distrusted.”

I’ll answer the last question first because it’s a crucial point to understand. This study doesn’t make any determination about where news outlets themselves fall on the ideological spectrum based on either the content of their reporting, their self-identification or the views of their editorial boards. This project wasn’t designed to evaluate outlets themselves or the content they produce.

I'm not seeing an article or proof.....just some writing from a butthurt MAGAt.

And you, sir, need to fact check your articles and cartoons before you post them and are then proven to be false.

Unfortunately Blacks are the nationality least vaccinated.  If one wants to politicize, most are Democrats.

I see that you post a lost of articles from twitter-----Most Americans distrust this as a news source--but obviously not you--

THEHILL.COM

When it comes to media literacy, Republicans and Democrats agree on one thing: They don’t trust social media.

About 9 out of 10 adults in America have heard of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram. Almost three-quarters have heard of LinkedIn, and two-thirds have heard of Reddit. But while Facebook, Youtube and Twitter are the social media platforms most commonly used as sources for political and election news, they're also among the most distrusted.

But the lowest percentage of vaccination rates is among an ethnic group(Blacks) that support Democratic politicians. Sounds like they took the advice given by Kamala Harris during the presidential campaign when she said not to trust any vaccine developed during the Trump presidency.:dodgy:

Bullshit.  You are so full of shit it stinks all the way up here.  It's your MAGAt buddies listening to the far-RW disinformation experts who aren't taking the vaccine.  Why do you think QTrumplicans are desperately urging their subjects to get vaxxed now.  Suburban voters running away from GQP in DROVES.

very interesting. in the case of kavanaugh my problem has always been with the investigation being put on a schedule & only allowing certain things to be looked into. an investigation should be over when it is over. not time or substance limited.

The Republicans are the New Nazi Party.

Typical ignorant right wing deflection back to identity politics and do stoke-up and incite racial division when facts and truth are presented. The fascists in sheep's clothing who masquerade as modern day Americans are pretty much the party of racial identity politics and any racial division that may still exist in the country has more to do with because they always have been a party of identity politics and racial divide because they don't have much of anything else worth convincing people to vote for any of their ridiculously ignorant and flat out stupid policies like build the wall and get Mexico to pay for it - NO it did not happen.

Trump shaking hands with his North Korean fat friend - let us see what has happened there - FUCK ALL.

Trump lets all go down to the capitol and stop the vote and I will be right with you - NO he did NOT go - Let us see what happened there.

 

Your ignorance is amazing. You are calling Republicans the party of racial identity when race is all Democrats ever talk about?  What a brainwashed fool you are.

It's red states not getting vaccinated.  Damn RR....there's no argument here.

Your comment just proved that Democrats are politicizing the virus. Thank you.

After a rocky start to the week, major benchmarks crept to new highs in the face of rising COVID cases.

 

I thought the market wasn't important to you, since you said it has no connection to the economy.:confused:
