Seems the lastest poll shows CNN is ranked last among American cable news channels. Both #1 FOX, which preaches to the right wing, and #2 MSNBC which preaches to the left wing, ranked higher. CNN tries so hard to preach to the middle with it's fluff reporting...Reporting? Do any of the American main stream cable "news channels" REPORT news? They do sensationalism and commentary.
These rankings show that American TV watchers prefer "entertainment." It shows that the so-called "news coverage" in the US plays a big part in the dumbing down of Americans knowledge of national and world events. But let's get serious. There's no excuse now. There's the Internet with it's endless sources of overseas news.
Hopefully we won't have any more national polls similar to the polls done before and right after the Iraq war started.. that showed that the MAJORITY of Americans thought Saddam Hussein was the SAME person as Osama bin Laden!
