So in your BBC-funded survey, the BBC was the best-trusted source? Remarkable. And only 1% of the public think the Financial Times is reliable? Hardly known for spinning up idle gossip, is it?! And The Times too, Britain's most-respected newspaper of record? Totally ridiculous.
Even with our eyes closed, it’s good to know the public trusts BBC News more than the Sun.
