I believe they are famous for not being believed by the other side's partisans.

I.e. US republicans most often won't believe CNN and US democrats most often won't believe Fox.

The point here is, there are plenty of topics on which CNN and Fox coverage is very very similar: off the top of my head events in Israel and Taiwan

And on those topics, plenty of people just "trust the consensus" (or what appears to be the consensus, in western media)
