I get what he’s trying to do … but we seem to be a long way from this working. I think we also are missing a couple or more.

I am about to attempt to extract myself from one of Adobe’s products. I wasn’t looking forward to it before I read this. Now?

Key Takeaways
- BBC News has the highest approval rating among Americans at 51%.
- No other news website reaches 50% positive opinion among respondents.
