As America continues on its merry way to self destruction without the protection of journalism industry CNN remains America’s most trusted name in news. Well that is surely a sad statement about both TV news and Americans. But just to put this into perspective take a look at CNN’s viewers. Take a look at the priorities of the people who place their trust in CNN. Here is a list of the most popular items on the CNN news website today:
- Charges detail prison sex scandal
- Ray Romano in talks to star in new series
- The dark side of Chuck Berry
- Gandolfini puts muscle on ‘Sopranos’ pals
- Attacks kill 5 US service members
Of the top five stories on CNN’s “news†web site three of the most popular items are celebrity entertainment related and one is about a sex scandal. So let me say this about the people who trust CNN; I am not impressed. It does not take much to get an idiot to think you are smart and it does not take much to get an American to trust a corporate news organization. Think about it!
