Pew Research Center did a follow-up on a 2020 report. Their new data is based on input from a representative sample of 9,482 adults in the U.S. surveyed in March 2025.

A couple of teasers.

1. “Republican news consumers have a more compact (Oh. that's too cute!) media ecosystem...they rely to a large degree on a small number of outlets, and view many established brands as not trustworthy. Democrats, on the other hand, rely on a wider number of outlets.”

2. Democrats trust more outlets than Republicans.

3. Surprise of the day: “20% of Republicans ...regularly consume news from CNN, similar to the share of Democrats who get news from Fox News (18%).”
Well, dayam!

Republican's top news sources? Fox, at a whopping 57%. Followed by Joe Rogan, Newsmax, The Daily Wire.
Democrats top news sources, CNN (48%), NBC (47%), ABC CBS, MSNBC, AP and PBS (tied at 31%), NY Times (29%).

1. If someone asked me where i got my news

And I said Joe Rogan, I would expect them to laugh in my face and walk away shaking their head.....

Or most likely I wouldn't if Joe fucking Rogan was my source of news....

What the fuck...?
