According to a new survey by the Brookings Institution and the Public Religion Research Institute, the public trusts him more than a 24/7 news channel. Jon Stewart: Better Than MSNBC at News! The organizations did a study about immigration and the media that contained within it a broader question about which news outlet the public trusts most.

Unfortunately for MSNBC, it was dead last, with just 5 percent of Americans saying they trusted it most … 8 percent, by comparison, chose The Daily Show .

Colbert, of course, is taking over for David Letterman on CBS’ The Late Show next year, where he will likely still outpace MSNBC in viewer trust. Classic Jon Stewart 1.
