    I really don’t understand this.

    The text says: Democrats are much more likely than Republicans to both use and trust many major news sources. but the chart in the picture shows that republicans have higher percentage when it comes to trust.

    what am I missing here?

      Scroll down to the third image in the article. This sentence is saying the maroon bars for Democrats are much bigger, on average, than the maroon bars for Republicans.

      It’s based on colour rather than position. So the entries that are blue on the right are more trusted by Democrats. And yeah, it’s not a well designed graph for that reason.
