One would trust them if one likes their news extremely biased to the left.

I don’t trust any of the news channels — sometimes not even Fox.

About all CNN is good for is celebrity news/talk (see Larry King). Good for those whose major interest is in who was voted off American Idol. And they run those occasional bleeding heart pieces about the poor. But a reliable source of hard news and opinion? No.

It has been several years since I read Money Magazine. I found them to provide pretty much mainstream money management advice. They hyped the fund du jour. They discussed buy and hold strategies and incremental, monthly saving strategies. Nothing wrong, but pretty basic stuff.

As far as economic insight, they were mediocre at best. I viewed them as a mouthpiece of the investment industry, which has changed significantly. The industry today is focused on managing wealth instead of teaching you to create and grow wealth. The industry today projects an apolitical view, and by that I mean they discount the risks of investing that are associated with today's administration. It would not surprise me if Money Magazine today does not provide insight into the impacts on your nest egg of our "March to Socialism."

Not without checking to see if it has been verified true at other sources.

So I guess that means that my response is no.

Not at all but then again I don’t trust Fox news either. The MSM by and large is not the friend of traditional Americans and haven’t been for decades.

Don’t trust CNN’s veracity. I guess that’s why I haven’t watched since FoxNews became available on my cable. Used to watch Crosssfire some in the era of Buchanan & Kinsley.

Never trust any news story from any source that has a political slant. Some, like MSNBC, lie deliberately all the time, while CNN’s disinformation is a combination of liberal lies and outright stupidity. Even FOX isn’t totally reliable. You have to listen to a variety of sources, take everything you hear with a large grain of salt, and make your own decisions.

When a network's “stars” are someone most people think is dead even while they are watching his show (Larry King), an old drunk (Jack Cafferty), someone who committed vehicular homicide (Rick Sanchez), Campbell Brown and Anderson Cooper. it's in trouble.

CNN is for purely entertainment value.

No...it's biased and/or omits the "rest of the story."

The most ignorant---literally--- people I know get all their news from CNN...it's on at their house 24/7.

CNN Uses Pro-Communist American to Tout Cuban Health Care
NewsBusters.org ^ | August 8, 2009 | Rich Noyes


Gail Reed

There’s something deeply wrong with journalism that scrutinizes and criticizes the institutions of free and successful nations, but produces puff pieces on the supposed achievements of totalitarian dictatorships. On Thursday, CNN aired a piece of Communist Party propaganda about how Cuba could serve as “a model for health care reform” in the United States, complete with an authoritative sound bite from an American medical expert, identified only as someone “who’s lived and worked in Cuba for decades.”

But the expert, Gail Reed, is a longtime admirer of the Cuban revolution, married to the Cuban official who served as ambassador to Grenada in the early 1980s when U.S. troops liberated the island from hardline communists who had executed the leftist Prime Minister Maurice Bishop. She's also worked at Granma, Cuba’s official communist party newspaper.

[snip]

As for Reed, she was profiled in the Miami Herald back in 1983 after she and her husband returned to Cuba after American forces liberated Grenada. She talked about the fear she felt at seeing U.S. Marines surrounding the Cuban embassy, and told the newspaper, “I feel I have a very strong identification with the Cuban revolution.”

“When I first came to Cuba in the ’70s, I was very impressed with their efforts in building a new kind of society,” Reed explained.
