CNN: "The Least Trusted Name in News," According to a New Poll

Liberals, hold onto your pants!

A new poll, conducted by the Huffington Post and YouGov has revealed results showing that CNN is a less believable news network than Fox News.

Yes, that’s right, “The Most Trusted Name In News” is no longer the most trusted. It looks like those Fox News haters have some reevaluating to do.

A mere 16% of those polled deem CNN “very believable” while 22% claim that the network is “somewhat believable.” In the “very believable” category, that is even lower than MSNBC, which has been found by Pew Research to contain a frighteningly unsettling opinion-to-news-ratio. Fox News came in with 25% for both categories.

They could save money and be the first Cartoon News Network and still keep their call letters.

Not believing in Wulfe Bluster? How can that be?

I’ll never forget Trump ragging on him about how this interview was meaningless because only 40,000 people were watching nationwide.

He was counting the people in airport terminals who potentially could view the tv if they wanted LOL.

CNN and MSNBC are for radical thinkers who want their views solely represented. They throw in other stories kind of like the Obama administration will do to seem as though that they are being transparent as well as being a reliable source. Many are not buying the untruths/sloppy reporting any longer/or never had. Truthfully, MSNBC is not a news channel. CNN deserves this rating. Fox is ok (glad they’re there) though at times, they could do much better. The fluff has been replaced; long gone the investigative reporters. Sheryl Atkinson seems to report from the old school of journalism. She should have her own show because she sees through the false narratives on both sides. Many of the elected leaders that speak to us seem to come across as they cannot do much for whatever reason. I am speaking of common sense officials who respect the law.

I’m not sure...for me, MSNBC is at the very bottom. Maddow, Matthews, Sharpton etc epitomizes everything I dislike about the left. They are just awful.

It would be a close call to say witch of these cable networks suck more...CNN or Cartoon Network. I’m still 60-40 on this.

I agree with one addition; Crazy Ed Schultz. The man is certifiable.

I always have to laugh at CNN piped into the screens in airport gate areas...I figure CNN sends people to various airports and 5-minutes before boarding they do a head count of people in the gate area. This is where CNN gets most of its viewer numbers.

At the little regional airport where I fly out of in Idaho, they actually have FOX News on.

With Al Charlatan on board they would be hard pressed to do any worse. The man has such a loose grasp on the English language often times captions are necessary to understand what he’s saying. It reminds me of how OJ would stammered through his failed , weekly effort to offer cogent commentary on Monday Night Football.
