While I do think it's more accurate to call it a news network than Fox, their commentators are really boring and commentators are supposed to have interesting opinions, not just report news like anchors.

 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Not surprising. They don't provide the same sort of comfort zone for ideologues that Fox News and MSNBC do, and even their opinion guys rarely make spectacles of themselves which is, sadly, what sells.

Is CNN the network that just fact checked an SNL skit?

EDIT: Yes they were. John Stewart destroyed them here. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/13/daily-show-destroys-cnn-f_n_318295.html

MSNBC OWNS ALL.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Ew, not only does their reporting suck, they have some of the most unattractive news anchors ever.

News is news to me... Once it's accurate, I don't give a damn who's reporting.

Reading the article, I came across this quote:

"Jon's correct: It's unfair to compare CNN to Fox News," said Fox News spokeswoman Dana Klinghoffer. "Based on his network's dismal ratings, it's more accurate to compare CNN to the G4 channel."

Owned.

While I haven't seen CNN in about a year. I always found that as US news went, they were probably the most credible source out there. Didn't mean they didn't have their own problems though. Plenty of Yellow Journalism. And who was that woman... Grace something? You know, the one where she'd have an hour long show about a grisly murder or a celebrity scandal... The type of shit that isn't actual news in any way.

My other big problem with CNN was the obsession with left vs right. " Breaking news, a woman in Arizona just stubbed her toe on a fridge, we go now to a republican and a democrat so they can yell at each other"

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
