Does Consumer Reports have *Any* Credibility Left?

Following on the heals of their bogus car seat panic, Consumer Reports is now telling us that Mcdonalds has the best coffee. Eh...Mcdonalds? I'm sure it's OK, but could they really beat out such coffee masters as Burger King and Dunkin’ Donuts? Not to mention, Starbucks?

After the recent retraction of the car seat story, the February 1998 dog food debacle in which they smeared Iams dog food in error (did they ever print a corrected 'study'?) and their rigged tests against the Isuzu Trooper, I'll wait patiently to see if Consumer Reports figures out if something was wrong with this test as well before I have Ronald brew me a cup.
