you did choose to ignore the valid counterpoint though. typical.
No reason to address the obvious fact that Media Matters is a site dedicated to correction of misinformation from various conservative media sources. In fact, it's rather pleasing that they put that in the "About Us" section of their web page, as the first paragraph, instead of trying to hide it somewhere, or even fail to acknowledge it at all.

Boo hoo. They point out methodically and factually, using references and transcripts, that one of your favorite news sources lies openly to you and the american public just about every day, and all you have to cry about are a left-on microphone and a typo where two similar names were mixed up? Grow up a little man...

when did i ever say that fox news is one of my favorite news sources?

keep in mind that you're the one that brought them up with your bogus link.

look again, this thread is about the repeated mistakes made by CNN, a network dedicated entirely to the news, or "news", i should say. stick to the topic.

Anyone can refute anything when they cherry pick the information chosen for rebuttal.

Our whole media system is dishonest and show the viewpoint THEY want you to see and not what really happened.

CBS had a commercial about how "More people are watching Katie Couric." But that is impossible because her ratings are abismal. But they probably had a report that said she beat the market in the 2-3 year old segment and they are using that as the cherry picked facts to back up that claim. To the everyday sheeple that does not make a difference bacause all they hear is "More people are watching Katie Couric."

I use that as an example because it is one of the more dishonest ones I have seen recently.
