HollyHood Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I was watching Joel McHale's speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and he joked about CNN "losing dignity" and not showing real news. So I came to wonder how is CNN perceived over there? Is it viewed as a joke? I'm not American but as far as I know Fox's reputation is the pits. Have you ever been to other countries and watched CNN International? It's pretty good I think especially some of its reporters like Amanpour, Richard Quest (I like his shows), etc. Same question to those non-Americans who have seen both CNN International and American CNN. Edit: Even Obama shaded CNN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Even Obama shaded CNN! First and foremost, I like to thank you for posting the Correspondents dinner.. I'm a huge fan of Joel McHale and I wanted to catch the jokes President Obama had CNN has taken an incredible wrong turn.. one after another.. They speculate and they do NOT tell the news... They spend sooo much time on one topic (The Mysterious plane) and the beat it until it is dead FOX news Reputation is dead but their ratings is strong (thanks to Grandpa & Grandma)... MSNBC ratings have plummet but they are just too boring (probably) That being said, I follow CNN on twitter, if something big happened, I would turn to CNN and not the other two options FIRST... For national elections, I turn to CNN.. but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 CNN is terrible, MSNBC has a few good shows like Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell, and Fox News isn't even news. I get my news from Real Time with Bill Maher and The Daily Show. They're left-leaning, yet still honest and not afraid to question the left when it does something wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasSad Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yeah the daily show is the best. CNN is not as bad as fox and not as bias as MSNBC but ever since that plane went missing that's all they talk about. The news they have on the crawler is more interesting.

BlackCat1989 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 CNN is terrible! Especially CNN HLN. All they want to do now is talk about court cases. They might as well call it Court TV now. Most times I don't even bother to watch them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapade Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 CNN annoys me because they try so hard to be bipartisan. Just tell it like it is. My father stopped watching CNN in favor of MSNBC. I just get my news from the internet now, like the NY Times and things of that sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyHood Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Oh wow, so CNN in the US is really that shitty huh? Didn't see that coming! MSNBC is really local so *Mariah I don't know her gif*. Fox, on the other hand, is global but for all the wrong reasons lol. NPR is great, but not really big in my country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 AMAZING how ppl in the USA think that it's either meh or bah and people from my country think it's the best, biggest and most reliable news channel in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you all get a different CNN than us? :umm: Of course we do. Do you think the rest of the world is always interested in your politics? I didn't even know Republicans are also called the "Tea Party" like wtf? We're only here for your presidential elections because it's good TV.

I'm not saying you're all interested in our politics unless you love freak shows. My only question was for daily news, do you get the same reporters and format as we do from CNN? I don't see how it warranted that response from you. Our CNN is notorious for using its best resources on the wrong stories. I just wondered if that was the case everywhere or just for us.

I named some of the reporters I see in our CNN in my first post. Are you familiar with them? And yes I think we have different reporters for daily news.
