More Pew study findings... When Pew examined partisanship and credibility, it found that CNN has the highest credibility rating among Democrats and FNC has the highest credibility ratings among Republicans.
32% of Democrats believe all or most of what CNN says while 22% of Republicans believe what CNN says. The numbers for FNC are the exact opposite, with 32% of the Republicans believing all or most of what FNC reports and 22% of Democrats "[believing] all or most of what they see on Fox."
But taking all this into account, this is what really jumped out at me:
There has been a 13-percentage point drop in views of CNN's credibility among Democrats in the past two years, significantly shrinking the difference in opinion across party lines.
In layman's terms, this is what's known as losing your base.
