New York, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – CNN, the pioneer in 24-hour cable news, is not a happy camper. The Atlanta-based news network is far behind FOX News and MSNBC in misreporting the news, according to a recent survey.
Punditfact, a branch of Politifact, has put together profiles for CNN, MSNBC and FOX News detailing just how honest each of these networks are. And while it’s obviously not a completely comprehensive profile, it’s a decent measure of the honesty of each.
Pundifact found FOX News to have only told the truth 18 percent of the time. MSNBC was found to have been honest 31 percent of the time, while CNN came in a distant third with being honest 60 percent of the time.
The survey results was disappointing news for CNN Worldwide CEO Jeff Zucker. “CNN has always been No. 1 in reporting and comprehensively covering breaking news as well as in ratings and reliability as an accurate news source. We will do all we can to take back the top spot from FOX News,” he promised.
Whether you are a fan of FOX News, MSNBC or CNN, think twice before believing the news you are getting from these top cable networks. Stick to satire news sources; you know that the news you’re getting is 100% faux – not 18, not 31, not 60 percent.
…but Politifact and Punditfact are only accurate 3% of the time. What’s a fella to do?
