The 2024 presidential campaign’s home stretch kicks off with a mixed outlook across six key battlegrounds, according to new CNN polls conducted by SSRS in each state. Vice President Kamala Harris holds an advantage over former President Donald Trump among likely voters in Wisconsin and Michigan, while Trump has the edge in Arizona. The two split likely voters almost evenly in Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania, the state with the largest electoral vote prize that’s widely seen as up for grabs.
CNN changed ownership a while back and it’s had a clear impact on their bias and reporting standards. Giving a voice to the “far right” was a final straw of my “trust but verify” stance I had with them before that change.
Obviously I don’t trust Fox, OAN (do they still exist?), InfoWars or any of the similar ilk at all. Thats not to say that I write off everything right wing, but there isnt many that pass muster in the US ATM.
There’s also a handful of “left” publications that I dismiss offhand due to a history of sensationalism and bad perspectives.
The majority of news is a “trust but verify” stance with me (using a secondary media outlet). It’s not a straight “this news source is credible” stance, but whether or not they have a history of news that is overtly biased, sensationalized, or mis-reporting. And then there’s the individual article itself.
