BELIEVE IT OR NOT! According to the Pew Research Center, only 32% of people say they believe all or most of what they see on CNN. This lead CNN to crow about being the most trusted news organization. Friends, you cannot brag about your reputation if less than one third of people believe what you say. You cannot win a jury trial that way for sure. CNN's reputation suffered when it was revealed it had not reported on known torture stories in order to get inside position with the Iraqi government. When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. I quit watching CNN when I heard that. So, I cannot rate them, as I cannot believe anything they say.

You just cannot trust what you see. People in Missouri found this out this week as their 23 acre lake disappeared. Yes, it really disappeared. An expert says the limestone underneath was eaten away by the water, causing a sink hole that drained the water. The lake looked great on the top and it had been there, semmingly stable, for years. But, all along, the corruption you could not see was destroying it.
