You'd have to be a true drooling idiot to think CNN is left wing.

CNN Exposed.
Whole Foods is owned by a staunch conservative.

With your logic, we should call Whole Foods a company that caters to staunch conservatives.

The problem at CNN is the institutional failure of upper management in repeatedly selecting heads that reflect management's views. Doesn't matter what 'personailty' they hire...... all are the cut from the same philosophical cloth...all add up to a one trick pony wearing different saddle blankets.

Sure if you campare CNN to msnbc, CNN appears to be conservative.... but in no one's book are they even close to even pretending to be conservative in their views and fairness.

Carol Costello and the other skinny blond with the long face.... cherry picked news delivered with sneers and smirks.... Piers Morgan is some CNN execs wet dream of instant respect via an English accent.

If I had to be locked in a room for 3 days and had a choice of cnn or msnbc, I'd take Cnn but by no means is that an endorsement. It would be the lesser of two evils.

Unless the top bosses are changed, CNN is doomed to a continuous parade of pretentious lightweight wannabes singing the same liberal refrain as they attempt to disguise themselves as a legitimate and informative media choice.

Much like a little kid putting a towel over his face and expecting his mommy to not know who he is.

What does Whole Foods have to do with the MEDIA?


For the record I watch CNN (and Fox. and PBS. and BBC.) but it's hardly the unbiased, politically center news source it used to be. It's kind of obvious to anyone who has eyes and ears and a brain.

MSNBC?

It is like a comedy program; it is so far to the left that one could mistake it for a parody. There is no pretense of objectivity at all- just bare faced far left propaganda. It is no wonder that Obama supporters enjoy such trash.

I've noticed a sad trend over the years; that TV-- both entertainment and news --has become allergic to the intelligent, discriminating adult viewer over 30 years of age.

No doubt CNN is vying for the coveted 10-25 year old male demographic like everybody else is vying for, then they wonder why their ratings keep sinking lower? Television shows are getting dumber and crasser by the month. It's no wonder more and more people are "cutting the cord"!

When will TV producers rediscover the adult viewer? We have discretionary money to spend that your advertisers would like to have.

I have to agree with you 100%. I rarely turn the TV on anymore. When I do I have a hard time finding anything worth watching. I was telling my wife that it seems you have to dumb down just to watch some of the crap.

I spend most of my spare time reading. And I have a thing for history and yes history does repeat itself.

I am reading an excellent book now that anyone with half a brain should read, especially living in 2013 called The Dark Valley by Piers Brendon. It's about the 1930's and all the major powers in the world, United States, Germany, Italy, France, Britain, Japan, Russia, and Spain and the lead up to WW2. Because folks we are living it.
