CNN Declares itself the most believable major News Network!

Flicking through the channels a few minutes ago, CNN said that a study was done, and the study finds that CNN has the most believable news than any other major news organization. What a load of BS! Also, they said they have the same viewers, or maybe a slight decline than last year.

CNN is evidently not keeping up with current events. (AKA Fox News, Rush, Ann Coulter, etc.)

Before anyone says anything, NO! I do not watch CNN news.

I guess they think if they tell everyone this, one or two people may start believing it. Thought ya'll would like to know that the propaganda continues.

CNN now known as Comedy News Network.

So much for MY scenario! (just saw your post)

[al_c]

Do they really expect us to believe that?!

[RetiredArmy]

I BELIEVE that the Communist News Network has it head up its ass. Other than that, I cannot believe anything the leftist say.

CNN has the most believable news

Ha! Pretty soon you're going to be telling me that The New York Times is the Paper of Record!

OK .. well if that is the case .. then why do their ratings keep dropping???

This is from an August 4, 2002 Pew Research Center media poll that can be found HERE ... that says in part, "Once again, CNN is rated as the most credible television news source, with 37% giving it the top grade for believability (down from 42% in 1998)...

[dyed_in_the_wool]

I thought belief centered around things either not known or not knowable through direct experience.
Insofar as CNN makes up stuff, yes, they're believable (by imbeciles, intellectually weak liberals, etc.)
Now when I want to learn (as opposed to being convinced) about what's going on, I go to Fox News Channel.
But you knew that already.

The important thing in the survey is that 12% found Bill Clinton believable, while 44% said they NEVER believe a word he says.

That's sweet.

Of course, the whimps would rather "believe" something soft and touchy feely. Real stuff is unbelievable to them (meaning they can't believe it because it is beyond their comprehension). I don't blame them. They are in the never never land.

Actually, the same poll apparently rated the Wall Street Journal as the most believable of the newspapers. They didn't specify whether they meant the editorial pages or the rest of the paper. Saw this on C-SPAN this morning.

Slow news day, I guess.

"...and the study finds that CNN has the most believable news than any other major news organization."

As opposed to the most accurate?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

...CNN said that a study was done, and the study finds that CNN has the most believable news than any other major news organization.

(In its study CNN considered the other major news organizations to be Debka, Ananova & Reuters.)

...and their flatulence smells like roses, or so they say.

I'm surprised....I happen to like CNN...it has always brought me truth...and an unbiased opinion without the input of the owner......I'm ashamed of all of you.
