[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3441664, member: 10465"] For as long as I can remember, CNN has proclaimed itself as the "most trusted name in news"... I recall us using CNN as a source of information in Desert Storm back in 1991...we felt we could pretty much rely on them to actually [I]report [/I]the news, and not just make it up. I'm not sure what happened to journalistic integrity, and when the dramatic shift away from that began, but today, one has to take the news from pretty much any site or source with a grain of salt. It seems that ratings are more important than honesty. Remember guys like Walther Cronkite? I'm sure we have a lot of members here who are too young to remember him, and some may not have even heard of him. But when he told us about something happening in the world, you could count it being reported on fairly and accurately. Compare old school honest journalists like him to the "reporters" we hear today and there's really just no comparison. I never thought I'd see a journalist act like Keith Olberman recently did.
