CNN is Most 'Trustworthy' Cable News Network — While Fox News is Most 'Untrustworthy'

Fox News swept the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic yet again on Monday, with the network’s lowest-rated show still topping the highest-rated program on CNN or MSNBC.

Fox’s America Reports at 2 p.m. and Your World With Neil Cavuto at 4 p.m. were the lowest-rated shows on the network in the demo, bringing in 191,000 viewers.

However, CNN’s highest-rated program in the demo, Anderson Cooper 360 at 8 p.m., only brought in 163,000 viewers. Meanwhile, MSNBC’s top-rated program in the demo was The Rachel Maddow Show, which brought in 160,000 viewers at 9 p.m.

Here is a full breakdown of Monday’s cable news ratings by show:
