What do you think of CNN? Is it credible?

Content: it all has to be perfect. What if that data has missing parts? I recall being at an Oktoberfest celebration some years ago where the hall was so loud, I could not have a conversation with people across the table from me. The noise of the crowd and the band was overwhelming. That’s called signal to noise ratio. Humans have a surprising capability to error-correct because of the redundancy in language, so we are able to “fill in the blanks” to a surprising degree, generally beyond 20 dB according to psychological tests. It’s about half that for digital information. Setting aside active deception by CNN (or any other media), can we be sure that CNN is providing us with all the information we need? If they withhold 10% of the facts, can we still error-correct to get complete context? Well, no.
