It turns out that Republicans are far less credulous than are Democrats when it comes to evaluating the honesty and credibility of such news sources as CBS News and the NY Times. Only a meager 15% of Republican trust the believability of CBS News, while a full 34% of Democrats "believe all of most" of what CBS says. And only 14% of Republicans trust "all or most" of what appears in the NY Times, but more than double as many Democrats -- 34% -- believe "all or most" of what the NY Times prints.
These facts may help explain why a full 35% of Republicans regulary get their news from the Fox News Channel, while only 13% of Republicans bother to tune in the broadcast of "Rather Bias" CBS News -- a favorite news source for Democrats.
