The BBC, Fox News and PBS are the most-trusted TV news brands in the U.S., according to an analysis released Tuesday.

Research Intelligencer by Brand Keys surveyed 4,012 viewers who rated broadcast and cable brands that they watch more than three times per week "to determine how much trust those brands engendered."

The BBC came in first, with 90 percent of those surveyed saying they trust the British news outlet.

Fox News and PBS came in second and third with 87 percent and 86 percent of respondents, respectively, trusting the TV news outlets.

Bloomberg, with 81 percent, and MSNBC, with 80 percent, round out the top five.

The broadcast networks' news division finished sixth, seventh and eighth, with CBS coming in at 72 percent, NBC at 70 percent and ABC at 69 percent.

CNN and Sinclair are the final two TV news outlets included in the survey, with CNN tying ABC at 69 percent on the trust scale and Sinclair last at 58 percent.

When Theodore McCarrick arrived in Washingon in 2001 to be the region's Catholic archbishop, it was clear right away that he was something very rare: a celebrity priest.

The vivacious cleric reportedly had spent time with famous Americans such as Bing Crosby and the Hearst family. He was a prolific fundraiser for big-name Catholic groups from right to left, and valued for his connection to Pope John Paul II, who dispatched McCarrick to hot spots worldwide as his diplomat. President George W. Bush, also new in town that January, marked his first private dinner in Washington by going to the home of the new archbishop.

McCarrick's gilded résumé stood in striking contrast to his public demeanor, that of a self-effacing do-gooder who, in a city full of egos and polish, wore rumpled clothes and exhibited a voracious drive to help others.

"I wish I were a holier man, more prayerful, more trusting in God, wiser and courageous," he said at his first D.C. news conference. "But here I am with all my faults and all my needs, and we will work together."
