CNN is getting more liberal! They put their spin on it always. They use negative words towards the Republicans and always spin it badly for the Republicans. The Christians are always put in a negative light.
People who listen to this CNN spin get brainwashed and don't even know they are being swayed to dislike the Right. They take on the mind set of CNN liberalism.

Anderson Cooper talks badly about Christian Ideals .

I think Fox News leans right later in the day during their opinion programing. I asked YOU why CNN is so liberal?

You know, this might not be a bad point in the conversation for Mr. Evidence to put in an appearance!

CNN is not liberal. In fact, anyone who has watched it consistently over the last five years would attest to the fact that they have gone out of their way to avoid being labeled as a liberal news medium. So what has that left us with? An assortment of John King-esque characters who present news in a manner so boring and orchestrated, that nobody wants to watch their shows. Bring back the Campbell Brown's and Paula Zahn's...

Why do they seem liberal? Because their people (e.g., Anderson Cooper) are intelligent and fact-based, and anyone who is not paid directly to say otherwise thinks the republicans, and especially the Tea Party, act like belligerent idiots most of the time these days.

Anyone left of Ann Coulter is now a liberal to most folks here.

Taratova: are you mad at things like this recent (8/15) piece AC had? AC was against 1 so-called christian - not christianity.

If not, it would be helpful to show us what you meant.

CNN is liberal because the individual and current man in charge of CNN is liberal. the reason Fox is conservative is because the individual and current man in charge of Fox is conservative.

What I would love to see: A major TV news organization that only reports the news and never takes sides.

On MSNBC and CNN, a round table discussion will include 3 or more devoted Democrats and 1 even tempered non-feisty Republican. When that Republican tries to speak out in defense of his party's side of things, the Democrats will talk over him or talk louder than him. They will always interrupt him and never allow him to complete a thought or make a complete statement. Or they just won't have anyone from the GOP side at all.

It's the exact same thing in reverse over at Fox News of course.

These media outlets are increasingly lousy at reporting the news because they are so political-agenda driven. MSNBC and Fox News spend more time reporting on why each other were lying about [insert political issue here] that they don't have time to do anything else. And both of them shamelessly pick and choose what to report and what not to report based largely on trying to make their side of the political equation look better.
