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.

My point exactly! I read that "survey" and almost spewed my drink. CNN is the "Coca cola" brand for news networks. They have a higher brand awareness then the FNC. Well, at least CNN has something to show for the dollars they shed on worthless shows like Chung and Headline News. Yay CNN...go keep touting your own horn, we know what's up.

On the plus side, darn near 77% agreed that NPR sucks. Worst of the worst. That has to rankle those blowhards... Also, I want my TAX dollars back.

"In a related story, CNN is being renamed as PRAVDA (Truth) to reflect its good standing with the public."

I can believe it. I believe they have the ba**s to advertise themselves as news Gods.

What is so hard to believe? We all believe they are full of $hit.

Anyone see the four movies about the Left Behind series? CNN is represented as WNN, the false prophets mouthpiece, the antichrist who I take as Bill or Hilliary.

... according to a compilation of recent opinion surveys of "journalists:"
86% don't attend a place of worship,
90% support the "choice" of killing of unborn children,
75% support homosexuality,
53% approve of adultery,
80% support so-called "affirmative action" programs,
56% believe the U.S. exploits "third world" countries,
80% have never voted for a Republican president –
yet only 54% identify themselves as left-of-center.
Go figure!

Con artists always need to tell you how honest they are.

Drunks need to tell you how well they can handle booze.

Less than virtuous women need to tell you how virtuous they are.

Only a thief need to tell you he doesn't steals.

And CNN needs to tell you how believable they are.

Heh, not in the original books! CNN is called "CNN" there, and eventually "CNN/GCN" ("Global Community Network"?) after the Antichrist or whoever buys up everything on the planet.

I pretty much gave up on the books after the fourth one. The concept is quite interesting, but the writing was just too sub-par IMHO, and the characters one-dimensional. I can only imagine how much shallower they'd have to become to fit into a 2-hour movie, unless they had some great screenwriters.
