Politics ruins everything, especially news | The James Brown Commentary
A recent poll from YouGov shows that America's view of journalists and the companies they work for is highly polarized.
The pollsters gave some American news consumers a group of news outlets and asked which of them they trust, distrust or somewhere in the middle.
A graph of the polling data showed a steep contrast to no one's surprise.

Both Republicans and Democrats alike prefer getting news from places that confirm their worldview.
For instance, the highest scores for Republicans include conservative-leaning outlets like Fox News, Newsmax, and Breitbart.com.
Meanwhile, Democrats in the poll gave high marks to left-leaning outlets like The New York Times, PBS, and MSNBC.
The combined sentiment among Republicans and Democrats about major networks like ABC and NBC and CBS landed, them clustered with about an approval rating of around 40%.
That's all pretty bleak.
But there was one piece of data in the poll that argues that Republicans, Democrats, and independents like me can maybe sometimes get our news from the same place.
More than half of the people polled trusted one outlet: The Weather Channel
