I think there's confusions here between reporting and opinion.

First, i don't even know how reliable this site that claims to tell the % of integrity is. I  did read on your link and they seem to point out the opinion pieces. That isn't the reporting, and honestly there's guests spinning the stories in both directions aswell.

I didn't disagree with you on Kanye, so i don't know why you keep going about that.

I bring up Trump because he is the one claiming they are 100% Fake news while lying plainly in front of everyone. Let's not fool ourselves. This is him waging a war on media that isn't favorable to him.

Finally, that is a good example as well. Why is anyone taking "unlikely" as a fact? I never heard of a fact stated as unlikely. It either is or not. So, it's obvious it's opinion. Is this the twisting you are talking about? If it is, then i maintain my high regard of CNN. This is likely a host trying to change topics. This isn't CNN said, it's a Segway. Doing live shows does not quite allow for a careful review of your words. 

This is honestly an exaggeration.

They "seem" to point out at the opinion pieces? For someone who is adamant that CNN is credible, why are you using qualifiers? You're basically making shot-in-the-dark statements without putting in any effort to verify. Whether you think that is a viable substitute for presenting a good counterargument, be my guest. I don't think it is, however.

Anyways, if you subscribe to The Knife Media, you get access to their raw data. Even without the raw data, they do take their time to explain their reasoning. They also have a few videos on their Youtube channel. There aren't a lot, but you will be able to figure out their thinking process. That said, you said that you read the link, but you have not addressed a single one of The Knife Media's arguments. Are you in agreement of what they are saying? Are you in disagreement of their evaluation, but unwilling to explain why for whatever reason?

Lastly, bringing up Trump is still not on topic. The topic is about CNN's credibility in which I have adequately shown that it's sorely lacking. You, on the other hand, have responded by attempted to pivot the discussion to an unrelated topic. You maintain your high regard of CNN? Okay, but how does that prove that CNN's credibility is high? It's the same assertion with a different coat of paint. And here, I thought you were taking your time to organize your thoughts and provide a convincing rebuttal, so this is very disappointing.

Sigh... apologies that i don't know every site out there and i am not focused on an issue that isn't that important to me just cause some retard president from a country known to not care about facts decided to bring it up in light of his negative publicity. Also, don't expect me to take an unscientific source as gospel. That will never happen.

I am educated and intelligent enough to be able to make the distinction between opinion and fact. All news networks will give different opinions every day. Their word is not gospel. Think for yourself. Educate yourself and you will be able to tell the difference between facts and opinion.

What matters to me is whether the reporting is accurate. I have seen no evidence of this inaccurate reporting. Only conjecturing from the opinions of hosts and guests.

I completely disagree with your assessment. CNN isn't doing anything terribly different from anyone else. Honestly, it looks like a goose chase from where i'm looking. Spurted by the same president you say is completely off-topic but jump started this whole conversation for not being able to take criticism.
