It might sound contradictory that viewers of the most-watched network are more likely to say it’s not mainstream media, but that’s the case, according to the poll, published Friday by the Pew Research Center. When asked whether their favored news source is part of the mainstream media, just 61% of those who prefer Fox said it was. NPR listeners were more likely to see themselves as a breed apart, with 69% who prefer it saying it was part of the mainstream media. Another result might indicate that some people might define “mainstream media” as something other than news organizations that adhere to a common set of standards. Of the group saying that local TV was their go-to, just 57% said their sources were part of the MSM.
