Fox & Friends and Sean Hannity rack up ratings victories while cheerleading for the president, whose approval numbers hit a high point in June.
The BBC, Fox News and PBS are the most-trusted TV news brands in the U.S., according to Research Intelligencer by Brand Keys, which surveyed 4,012 viewers who rated broadcast and cable brands that they watch more than three times per week “to determine how much trust those brands engendered.”
The on-screen banners known as chyrons were once flat, artless labels that were about as exciting as an airport arrival-and-departure board. But in an era of shrinking viewer attention spans, chyrons now not only tell viewers what the news is, they tell them what to make of it.

Longman, a veteran international correspondent for ABC News, has been one of the journalists standing by to see if divers can rescue 12 young boys and their soccer coach after they became marooned by floodwaters in Thailand’s Tham Lung network of caves.
Four times in the past few weeks, Fox has set aside its usual prime-time programming to air the president speaking live to supporters at events in South Carolina, Minnesota, North Dakota and West Virginia.
