Nope.. I've clearly stated here numerous times that I don't watch Fox either.

Does that answer your question.

Or are you still caught up in the false war of left vs right?

It was honest question. Do you think CNN is a credible news organization? Answer shouldn't be hard. Either yes or no will suffice. And silence will be quite telling in itself.

Oh Waldo, you're simply trying to engage me in a game of gotcha...

Btw, what's a Grabien, and why do all of the people who sound remarkably like you all cite it as a source of reference?

I didn't think you would answer the question.

You either think CNN is a legitimate news organization or not. I say they are not. So I give answer.

What is yours?

No matter what the answer is it will still be wrong to you.

I think they have some legitimate stories but just like Fox they are propaganda for one side.

That's it, Waldo...force a false dilemma....

My view of news sources is more nuanced than a simple up/down vote.

Someone posted this Venn diagram on the forum a while ago. In my opinion, the area which contains the Washington Post, the New York Times, Reuters, AP, PBS, etc would be those I consider best sources, while the ABC/NBC/CBS news shows fall just a little behind.

CNN now and then screws the pooch on its coverage, but it's still above MSNBC and Fox News in legitimacy.

But just what is a Grabien, and why are so many people wailing the same dirge today citing that same source?

I find it fascinating that none of you anti-Trump people will say that you either believe CNN is credible or not.

This speaks volumes on the matter.

I have no idea about FOX as I said. The topic is about CNN. I take note that you are loath to talk about it.

Fine, I'll bite on your bait. It depends on the show. Chris Wallace on FOX seems competent, as do Jake Tapper, Fareed Zakaria and even Brain Stelter on CNN.

I've yet to interact with a Trump voter that I think is competent. OK, I'm sure there are trump pundits that make good money, but I don't think that justifies supporting a psychopath.

Must we be reminded again of how intellectually deficient the last administration was? Rice and Obama, two airheaded lying nitwits. Not to mention Biden, Kerry, Hillary, Janet Napolitano, Lynch, Holder.
