The majority of American voters view CBS as a reliable source of news and information, with 24 percent deeming it very credible and another 37 percent calling it somewhat credible as of February 2022. Meanwhile, 12 percent of voters seriously doubt the network’s credibility, although some of this difference in opinion between the two extremes may come down to political affiliation.
Increasing political tension in the U.S. has meant that television networks have found it difficult to continue to situate themselves at the center of the American political spectrum. The fake news phenomenon has led to increased political division among viewers of almost all news networks. Around 22 percent of Republicans believe that CBS is an enemy of the American people, while only three percent of Democrats echo that sentiment.
