I think CNN provides good coverage of current events, but they seem to over do it sometimes. Do you trust them for the truth?

Well - if you go back to the first Gulf War, CNN and the existing internet were my primary sources of information on the war. At that time I did trust CNN.
However, over the past decade CNN seems to have become much more commercialized, as well as more politicized. As this has progressed I've become less and less trusting in CNN reporting.
Actually I now almost never rely on any TV network for news. I use the internet almost exclusively, so that I can check AP, Reuters, BBC, and others as well as US news outlets.
I really think that televised news in this country is now so politicized, and commercialized that its simply not worth watching. They hype instead of report on events.
Just my .01

NO// If I want a secret to get to my enemy I will just call CNN. They would not know the truth if it bit them on the nose. Wolf is a joke. He makes O Riely look like a high school jock.Saddam knew every move we made in Gulf 1.but we were just a better fighting unit. We do not mind hard rock.In the "90s" it should have been Clinton Nightly News. He was on every night & only good stories about him. CNN was his big brother . They would take a half hour just to say Monica seduced HIM// NO I do not believe CNN.

I don't trust most news companies. The media tries to sensationalize everything. You can never fully trust them.

I trust them to continue to sell themselves. That's about it. The news business is still a business, and ultimately, there's no way around that.

TRUST AND MEDIA SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN THE SAME SENTENCE.
GOD BLESS
