Most local papers only print what the NYTimes runs withExactly (although ours is liberally laced with the LA Times and WashPost sludge as well).
Some percentage, possibly a large one, of this 73% actually believe what the NY Times writes because they don't realize what they're reading in their local rag is from the NY Times. Ditto to a large extent on what appears on TV (even on Fox) since the broadcast media does little, if any, of their own newsgathering, er, I mean news manufacturing.

Yes, people are unaware their local rag is basically filler with NYSlimes slanders in between.
But people probably 'trust' their local paper because it gets the weather mostly right.
I am deeply saddened that lies by Terry McAuliffe are repeated in this media report.
