Do you trust CNN?

They RETRACTED it. Good for them. Fox just lets their inaccuracies stand.

CNN? The Corporate News Network? No, I prefer news sources that are not part of the right-wing media circus.

I like BBC.

I am sure they have their innacuracies as well, it is just nice to hear another POV.

CNN is ok, a whole lot better than FOX or our local crapola.

CNN - we call it "crap not news".

I actually like to see news from other countries as well... it provides more of a holistic view of what is going on than our own media.

A little bit more than some, a little bit less than others.

FWIW, I cannot find such a retraction on CNN's website.

Newsmax, where the linked "retraction story" appears, seems pretty unreliable as a source of truthful information, imo... just another Bush-speak noise machine. Given the semantics and "plausible denial" wars going on right now in the administration of thieves and pathological confabulators, and the track record of corporate media (NPR/PBS/PRI included) for presenting propaganda dicta as "fact" as a matter of routine, I'd doubt Rumsfeld's alleged act of specifically not approving the use of water boards at gitmo is true, unless I saw an authenticated memo corroborating that (especially since Newsmax claims Wolfowitz complained about CNN "misrepresenting" the claim in a Senate hearing... I'm pretty slow to believe or trust anything that guy says).

I do not like the Clinton News Network.

I do not like how sexualized Fox's morning show is.

I do not have cable TV so none of this is really an issue.

I do like talk radio...I listen to conserative talk radio but they play ABC news and I listen to NPR talk radio because I like CarTalk and some of their other interviews and programs. I feel like between the extremes and the middle I can develop a *somewhat* balanced view of what goes on and always have lots of interesting topics to discuss with people.

Cool Breezes,

I think that CNN is way to conservative for me. It doesn't bother me that they make mistakes though, everyone does. As long as they make good with the truth, I am happy. If FOX took back all lies, then I know a certain movie-walker-outer that would be unemployed!

I prefer NPR, KBOO (listener supported radio here in Portland), and I think that the best of all is the BBC.

Nope, don't trust CNN

Does anyone watch Free Speech TV? They have interesting speakers and topics.

Blasphemous isn't it? Shoulda mentioned that my local public ( and I mean REAL public) radio station is a Pacifica station. Pacifica sooooooo rocks.

Don't watch CNN, sorry.

If you like the bbc you should try the cbc, Canadian news. It's not corporate but still not perfect. They do give a different view on US politics though.

So their source changed his/her story. That doesn't mean CNN lied - it means their source changed his/her story.

FWIW, I wouldn't rely on CNN as a sole source either, but do go there occasionally for headlines.
