Time Magazine conducted a poll. “Now that Walter Cronkite has passed away,” they asked, “who is America’s most trusted newscaster?” The results will undoubtedly depress the broadcast networks’ anchors:
7% Katie Couric
19% Charlie Gibson
29% Brian Williams
44% Jon Stewart
For god’s sake, man, even Jon Stewart wouldn’t call himself a “newscaster.” He’s a comedian, damn it. Based on that, the poll is flawed for not including Carrot Top and Andy Dick.
Katie Couric must have been suicidal after learning that 6 times as many Americans trust a comedian with the news than trust her.
Time provides a dandy little map across which you can scroll your cursor to see state-by-state results of the poll.
Hang in there, Katie. You got 65% of the vote in Iowa.
