Not that I regularly watch any of the stations mentioned, I found it interesting to see what an independent news study found:


"Each of the news networks that we routinely follow -- ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC/MSNBC and CNN -- now has a scorecard that breaks down that network's performance on the Truth-O-Meter. The scorecard tallies each statement we fact-check on that network and groups the rulings by percentage.
What does that mean?
Right now, you can look at the NBC and MSNBC pundits and on-air personalities have been rated Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire.
At CNN, it's 18 percent."
