Fox News or Bust? The Alarming Shrinking Media Trust on the Right

Fox News or Bust? The Alarming Shrinking Media Trust on the Right

Michael Smerconish sits down with Pew Research Center's Elisa Shearer to unpack new data on media trust in America. Why do Republicans overwhelmingly trust only Fox News and Joe Rogan, while Democrats rely on a much broader mix of outlets? What does this growing media divide mean for political discourse—and democracy itself? A revealing conversation on the trust crisis shaping the nation's news diet. It is summarized in the piece she co-authored, "The Political Gap in Americans’ News Sources." Original air date 12 June 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
