  • CNN Just Lost All of Its Credibility

    Everyone:

    ... at least in the eyes of certain people. The news network's founder, Ted Turner, has just accused Israel of committing terrorism.

    Jesus H. Christ. FOX News is right-wing, the impression that CNN is a liberal bastion just got burnished big-time and I don't watch CNBC. Where the hell can a person go in America to get balanced international news coverage from television?

    Frickin' A. More and more I find myself relying on newspaper copy (in the actual paper and on the raw news wires) and the Internet to get a mix of news and viewpoints on various situations. If you wanna be indunated in how that Utah kidnapping case is going, or to get op-ed pieces in "news" programs, turn to CNN or FOX.

      Israel does committ terrorism. This makes CNN lose it's credibility to you?

            CNN has not lost credibility Amazon


            Turner just expressed an opinion, which is frankly, not only his own but can be found in the minds of many otherpeople as well.

              Turner's opinion doesn't equate to that being the opinion of the network, unlike Fox News, which is Murdoch's mouthpiece. He's entitled to express his opinions. Why should the ruin CNN's credibility? I think the reporting on CNN has been very even-handed regarding the ME.

                Even-handed my ass. It's just less pro-Israel than most.

                  DinoDoc:

                  CNN itself just mentioned it in passing. A 15-second piece or so ... although they might have something on their Web site shortly.

                  I said some people. I happen to tune in on CNN and FOX now and then and will continue to do so. But I get the "straight" stuff from the news wires at work and from the Associated Press Web site.

                      CNN has credibility?

                      I don't trust any American media company. They're all part of the evil conservative conspiracy Besides, the BBC is so much better.

                        All cable news has turned into crazy patriotic crap after sept 11 and due to tons of competition. Though I have to say CNN is the most respectable, Dont judge them based on Turner who doesnt even own them.

                        I used to like MSNBC, slowly theyve gone downhill Remmeber that computer graphic commentator guy, I miss him

                          I agree. BBC and NPR have the best news by far. Though they are less respected in their field unfortunately

                            That's my line.

                              This is the paramount principle of journalism, yes.

                              But isn't Turner out of the loop now?
                              Meaning that he doesn't hold any position in there any more?

                              After the merger of Time Warner with AOL didn't he quit from his post?

                              Not sure, just asking.
