Liberal-leaning outlets like Mother Jones and ThinkProgress also rank lower than major media players like The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.The news outlets that are considered trustworthy by every ideological group don't equate to the most popular outlets, however. Americans say they get most of their political news from local TV, Facebook, and major networks like CNN and Fox News.CNN and Fox News bothhad a high trust rating overall, but there is more of a dispute between ideological groups about whether they're trustworthy.
