Rush Limbaugh is America's least trusted news source. (Original Post) Kingofalldems Oct 2014 OP
He does news? gordianot Oct 2014 #1
His little dittoheads think so. And they quote him chapter and verse. Kingofalldems Oct 2014 #6
There is actually a bust of this human waste in the MO Capital. gordianot Oct 2014 #11
The real joke is thinking he reports any news. n/t IllinoisBirdWatcher Oct 2014 #2

Less than InfoWars? The Blaze? bobclark86 Oct 2014 #5
They didn't go as far as asking about InfoWars - that's too ridiculous for anyone muriel_volestrangler Oct 2014 #7
I would definitely rank InfoWars below Rush Limbaugh. Initech Oct 2014 #9

And since i knew folks that worked at Pew, i always thought their methodology was sound and fair. So, i tend to believe numbers from their polling. Yeah, even when it conflicts with what i wish were the facts.

Ouch. That hurts. Poor guy. I actually feel bad for him.

Not, well, a lot, but still.

but yes, less trusted than The Blaze, or Glenn Beck's radio program:
Limbaugh: trusted 12%, distrusted 39%
Beck: trusted 10%, distrusted 24%
The Blaze: trusted 6%, distrusted 3%

Meanwhile, most trusted is CNN, both absolute (54%) and net (34%). ABC gets 50%/33%, NBC gets 50%/31%, CBS 46%/29%, BBC 36%/29%, PBS 38%/26%. Fox is 44%/7%, MSNBC 38%/16%.

whenever he gets in hot water over his comments. Why can't people take that at face value?

and neither is Thom Hartman. They are talkshow hosts. Their job is to get and retain listeners.
