Betty White Named Most Trusted Public Figure in U.S.
Betty White is the nation's most trusted public figure, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll.  The least trusted include Paris Hilton and Charlie Sheen.
While the Reuter/Ipsos poll included public figures of all types -- actors, singers, political leaders, business leaders, athletes, TV stars -- it's interesting to see who's on the Top 10 list and who's on the Bottom Ten list and why.
When you're well-known and trusted, things tend to go your way. People go to your movies. They buy your books, or vote for you, or listen to your music.
When you're well-known and disliked, or not trusted, it doesn't matter how much money, fame or talent you have.
See who made the top 10 list and who made the bottom 10.  You might just be surprised, or maybe not.
