The results are in from last week's Spy the News! poll, which asked readers "What American Media Outlet is Most Negative in its Coverage of the U.S. Military?"
Here are the results of our poll:
CNN 31%
CBS 23%
MSNBC 15%
NBC 15%
Wash. Post 8%
L.A. Times 8%
Receiving no votes:
ABC, Time, Newsweek, Fox News
CNN's "victory" in this poll, undoubtedly the result of aired footage of sniper attacks on U.S. troops that outraged the military and military families, was particularly convincing because CNN's 31% exceeded #3 MSNBC and #4 NBC combined. Perhaps CBS's second place finish ahead of NBC can be attributed to Katie Couric's much publicized move from NBC to CBS. After all, Couric's statement that America brought 9/11 upon itself, made while Americans were still dying in the Twin Towers on 9/11, showed her true stripes. NBC may have helped itself enormously by dumping Couric on CBS.
There will be no Spy the News! poll this week. In the meantime, readers are encouraged to submit their poll question requests via email to bewisenews@yahoo.com. The topic requested most by readers will be the focus of the next poll.
