Least trustworthy "serious" media sources...
I'd say a 4-way-tie between Faux (GOP asspit), The People's Daily (Chicon mouthpiece), Weekly World News, and Pravada.

Prior to Lenin's gaining control of the Soviet Union, Pravada was likely the most credible, progressive newspaper in the world. Sadly, it never regained anywhere near this prestige when the USSR collapsed.

2. I'd add The Christian Science Monitor on there. They're good.
