CNN is currently suffering a credibility crisis unlike anything they've experienced before. Last year, Business Insider reported that only 53% of American adults believe CNN is "credible," and among Republicans in particular, CNN's credibility has fallen "by nearly 20 percentage points since 2016." One of CNN’s most famous "Facts First" ad campaigns shows a shiny red apple against a white backdrop as a voiceover posits the following: “This is an apple. Some people might try to tell you that it’s a banana. They might scream banana banana banana over and over and over again. They might put BANANA in all caps. They might even start to believe

Watching the SOTU Tuesday night, my son opined that he liked to watch CNN for the comedy effect. He said it is like SNL used to be.

CNN and all of it's members should be classified a Terrorist Organization. THey are all about the complete and total destruction of American as it exist. The Democrat Party is no more......it has become the Antifa Party.

Interesting that the best they can do to show their credibility is to illustrate that they know the difference between an apple and a banana.
This confirms that they know they have lost the trust of the audience that they once held a quarter-century ago. Of course, there were not many alternative conservative choices for information back then.

Watching CNN today is like seeing Toto pull away the curtain in The Wizard Of Oz, they are exposed for who they truly are. And who they are, are totalitarians who approve of every effort to promote corporatism and globalism, to abolish liberty and nationalism, to remake society into what they think will be a utopia but will actually be a nightmare.

With the Collapsing News Network's low viewership numbers, very surprised that any advertisers bother wasting their money there. I expected cnn to be gone by now, but, perhaps the fees they get paid for having their channel turned on at airports is enough to sustain them...for now.

CNN brings back fond memories of Saddam Hussein with Bagdad Bob. Telling the people of Iraq that Saddam was winning against the 'western beast' when the US was knocking at his front door. It was entertaining while CNN carries on the tradition of fake news in a glorious manner like Bagdad Bob would do.

I really am surprised that so many people find CNN credible as do. Seems like that should be "2% of people polled found CNN to be credible" if we had a citizenry with good sense.

The bottom line is CNN and MSDNC, but CNN especially, no longer have "news" divisions. They are entirely comprised of editorial personnel and consumed with editorializing every sentence of supposed news that comes out of their mouths. And with all of their panels stacked with nevertrumpers and/or democrats pumping out DNC talking points, Fox News isn't far behind. It's virtually impossible to find a network that will simply reports the news.

This is CNN, NOT an actual news organization. No one is sure exactly what they are but it is clear they are harmful to living things.

CNN is owned by AT&T so they can keep propping up the propaganda machine. I don't have AT&T as my cell carrier but would certainly switch if I did.

CNN has nothing more to cascade. The sight of Don Lemon, little girl flirting with the camera is disgusting.

I was unaware that CNN ever had credibility as a news organization. Their fan base consists primarily of millennials, malcontents, morons and moochers, i.e., Democrats.
