The most trusted name in news?
liberals and moderates are willing to avail themselves of the entire array of media offerings available to them, while conservatives are so convinced of their own victimhood on all matters media-related that they will pledge unwavering allegiance to a friendly media outlet.
It was a point underscored by PPP's own Tom Jensen in his analysis of their poll:
