CNN isn't so bad you can't tell whether it's satire or not, but its far from a good or reliable source. As news sources, NPR, Forbes, Reuters, BBC, and Way Street Journal are all top notch.

Avoid every publication's editorial pages like the plague.

There's no problem with editorials as long as one knows that that is what it is. I like editorials as a genre of writing. They can be interesting and thought provoking, even if frustrating.
