CNN TRAILS FOX NEWS, MSNBC IN MISREPORTING THE NEWS

1 Comment

imageNew 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.

Washington D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – It seemed like just last week when Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos purchased The Washington Post for a bargain $250 Million.

Now, The Post has been purchased by Fox News for double the price — $500image Million.

Fox News Channel president Roger Eugene Ailes announced the purchase today, describing the move as “creating a print version of Fox News.”

Ailes also announced the appointment of Frederick J. Ryan, a former Reagan administration official, as new publisher of The Post. 

In talking to reporters this evening, Bezos said that he will use the $500 Million to purchase a fleet of drones which will become the new mode of shipping and delivery for online orders on Amazon.com.

MICHELE BACHMANN TO SUE FOX NEWS OVER ON-AIR HUMILIATION

Leave a comment

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto blasted Republicans on Wednesday for preparing to file a federal lawsuit challenging the executive actions of President Barack Obama.

During an interview with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Cavuto belittled the effort as “an enormous waste of effort” and “a political football,” suggesting that President George W. Bush used similar executive authority. The segment devolved into a shouting match, with Cavuto laughing off Bachmann’s indignation about Obama’s use of executive powers.

Bachmann is not taking this on-air humiliation lightly. She is suing Cavuto and Fox News for “disrespecting a person of authority, violation of her freedom of speech,  and for being called silly.”

Bachmann expressed shock that this happened on Fox News which she thought was on the side of Republicans, Tea Party members and conservatives. “That makes it all the more troubling,” she said.

Here’s a video clip of the heated exchange.
