Sounds about right to me. But for actual factual ratings, FOX is watched more than CNN- they're the #1 news network now. Hannity & Colmes regularly beats out Larry King in viewership, and they're not even FOX's flagship program (O'Reilly is, who blows the doors off everyone).

I'd say the BBC is the most credible.

Anyone else think Paula Zauhn is midly hot?

Which goes to prove that credibility has nothing to do with popularity.

If you ask me something smells about that survey....


(sorry, couldnt resist)

CNN? Hell no! BBC is number 1, and for Canadians, CBC is really fair and balanced as well.

Isn't CNN the chanell that reported that 50, 000 are estimated to be dead on September 11?

CNN sucks. They are easily one of the most left-biased news organizations out there. :|

Not surprisingly, there is a partisan dimension to evaluations of media credibility. Republicans tend to be more skeptical of most media sources, with the notable exception of the Fox News Cable Channel. For example, 45% of Democrats say they believe all or most of what they see on CNN, compared with 32% of Republicans, and there is a similar credibility gap with respect to the network evening news programs. Republicans and Democrats, however, are equally likely to say Fox News is credible (28% and 27%, respectively).

Now that's fair and balanced!

Credible??? dunno about that. More a US Propaganda channel, certainly not independent. Thats my experience with CNN. BBC is much more credible in my eyes....

Well you have CNN to the left, and FNC to the right. Big freaking deal.

CNN is trash. It is more of a tabloid news channel than anything else. I watch it now, not to hear the news, but to be constantly "entertained" by the flashy images, loud sounds, sex, violence and sensationalism.

CNN sucks along with the other news agencies.

Perhaps you are thinking of CNN headline news? Different channel than CNN.

yeah there are two CNN channels, one is more boring than the other
