I dunno cuz I rarely watch any kind of news. I read a local free "paper" online.

Also, I would rank NPR and PRI fairly high.

I'm tempted to rank a bit about bias. In a sense, I trust some sources to be biased and I prefer certain biases to others.
I have a habit of watching NBC Nightly News most evenings. I wont claim it's great, but I'm used to it and I usually get something out of it.
When I was in my car more often, I liked listening to the news on NPR or PRI (All Things Considered and Marketplace).

Meh! They all suck.

22 -- Al Jazeera
21 --Central News Agency (Republic of China)
20 -- Itar-Tass Russian News Agency

(hey, if you can't trust the Russian or the Chinese or the Islamic media, who can you trust.)

After that, I just give all other non-US news orgs an 8. (except for the BBC, I give them a 6).

After that, I give all US (eg CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc) news an 6. Yeah, I trust the US media moreso than other countries.

I really don't know much about most of these. I tend to think of the BBC as fairly reliable and not overly biased. The US networks mostly have one sort of bias or another, although for the most part I think they report the news fairly accurately, perhaps with the exception of Fox, which sensationalizes the news too much. CNN isn't much better.

I gave the ones I have never heard of and have no basis on which to judge, I gave an 11, since there was no whole number median. I try to weight in favor of skepticism.

I actually trust the British news media a bit more than the US media.

I do not care for the left wing news of main stream media. They are now trying to make obama into a "god".

Most media is suspect as far as the truth goes. The American media are just propaganda mouth pieces for Obama and his lackeys... You notice they do not cover anything the way they would if it were a Republican in office... All you get now are puff pieces about how wonderful Obama is...
