No, people. Shutting down or fining news media for "publishing or broadcasting stories that are biased or inaccurate" is not only unconstitutional [1], it's just what tyrants all over the world enjoy doing so as to quash dissent that they label as inaccurate or disrespectful or destructive to government authority and social order.
Just ask Donald's buddy Vladimir.
And while the GOP respondents wear the biggest dunce hats here, there are still way too many of Dems answering that way, too.
(Though it is interesting the percent of Democrats who trust Fox News over Donald Trump is not all that different from the ones who trust outlets like CNN and the WaPo. On the other hand, it's interesting that a thin percentage of Republicans trust Trump more than they do Fox News.)

[1] But remember, it's the Republicans who love the Constitution and believe in its literal truth and inviolability. They say so, right on the label.

This is disturbing
