CNN - The most trusted name in news
That is a very accurate statement. CNN is, still, looked to by more people for balanced news than any other network.

That is precisely the reason why CNN is far, far more dangerous today than Faux, or MSNBC, ar any other network. The level of deception is the key. CNN has become the most dangerous media outlet in America. Which is strange because CNN international seems to be quite a bit better.

2. you 're absolutely right
today I saw two fairly intense pieces. One on Army wives, and the other on a vet who is learning the truth. Good point.

7. Damn, I wish Link and Free Speech TV were more widely available. We
get news on those stations that no other US outlet seems to want to touch. I barely watch CNN, never watch FAUX, check out MSNBC just to keep an eye on Matthews, who occasionally says something intelligent.
But most of my news comes from internet, papers (we read several daily) and from Link/FSTV. The major media outlets in this country are truly unreliable as "news" sources. They're great at propaganda and distractions though.

8. no doubt we're very fortunate to have had the web
develop to support our education. Access is the key. One has to be able to reach deep into the social network to overcome what CNN is doing.

11. ya'll must be mistaken.
I could give a flying fuck about a CNN, or USAToday, or Gallup poll. The polls are nothing but a media tool to try and make the election more interesting. They mean squat.

And no wonder, they do a much better job.
