Pew Research has released a chart this week that looks at partisans’ trust in NPR and PBS. According to a new Center survey, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to trust NPR and PBS as sources of news. Nearly half of Democrats (47%) say they trust NPR as a source of news, compared with 12% of Republicans. The same pattern applies to PBS, with 59% of Democrats and 23% of Republicans trusting the outlet. For both public broadcasters, Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to say they distrust the outlets.
About a quarter of U.S. adults (24%) say Congress should remove federal funding from NPR and PBS, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted March 10-16. A larger share (43%) say NPR and PBS should continue to receive funding from the federal government, while 33% say they are not sure.
