Well they don't even do that any more. Where is Christiana Amanpour live in Ukraine ducking artillery shells? Where is the live video from a Maverick missile approaching a target?

Go look at clips of CNN from the early 80's to see what they used to be like. It was very quaint compared to today.

I thought CNN became a big deal for it's 24 hour news coverage of a kid getting stuck in a well.

I used to tell people that CNN was the most neutral of all the cable news channels. The channel a business can have running in their lobby or waiting room without signalling a partisan allegiance (unlike Fox, or MSNBC.)

I still think that, but I usually keep that thought to myself these days because everybody laughs at me cruelly when I say it. I'd say they've lost a lot of credibility.

Right, like when Trump got voted in and they went absolutely nuts and lost all of the little credibility they had left with outrageous out of context articles. I am a centrist who doesn't think Trump has the best platform out there at all (especially with his extreme isolationism and nationalism), but even I was astounded by how crazily they could make things up, out of context, in order to make him and his administration look bad in any possible way to weak minded headline readers.

I like to read the WSJ

Maybe NPR. It has a left bias but at they report facts and don't have all these opinion talking heads.
