I haven’t taken CNN seriously for decades now. They lost all credibility with their “live reporting from Bagdhad” that was actually in a US studio, and the two reporterettes in the same location pretending not to be.

They lost it when they stopped responsibly and fairly reporting news honestly. It was like CSPAN at first and very quickly devolved into political activism.
