I find this interesting, and credible. Illustrative, not something which seems to be influenceable. One might quibble, but on the whole this is both a good overview and nicely symmetric graphic. (Wonder if the distribution of viewers is similar).

Disclaimer: I have not seen the study itself, nor am I familiar with the source or its own potential "bias".

But it's a nice chart with many familiar "news" and "'alternative fact' " sources we all know and love (or not).
