THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN: 4PM Readers Still Don’t Trust ‘The Most Trusted Name in News’
Very few readers of The 4PM said they would tune in to CNN after its reportedly forthcoming reboot as a less partisan cable news network.
THE RESULTS
Ninety-seven percent of respondents to Tuesday’s poll said CNN is “permanently discredited” in their eyes, contra the network’s self-image as “the most trusted name in news.”
- 3% said they would give new president Chris Licht a chance to move the channel toward the center.
FROM THE MAILBAG
Darrell told us CNN “lost all credibility” with him four or five years ago, saying “their on-air folks have basically lied to the American people.”
- “Some of those folks should be in jail!” he added.
Brian quipped: “CNN will forever stand as the Clinton News Network.”
