Ports and large corporations play CNN. That should be a wake up call in it of itself. That right there is the "establishment" that is pushing CNN. FYI, the leader of CNN, Ted Turner or something like doesn't just run a news network, he is in the club. You know, the club that liberals always complain about, the elite! But yet liberals are backing the candidate that CNN is clearly backing, as well as Goldman Sachs. Yeah, you guys are really against the establishment.

Had to make a visit to my local VA hospital a few days ago, was happy to see Fox News on just about every TV.

I watched c-span.

CNN was my favorite primaries viewing channel but I knew I would not stay with them for the general election. I absolutely hate FNC during primary season. I leave them during primary season every presidential primary and pre-primary season. One thing I really liked on a Republican primary state voting night was CNN's John King at the Map doing the county by county analysis of the results.

Say what? I generally get my news off of CNN and they've been raking Trump over the coals the last few days.

Then again, I'm not insanely biased one way or another.

CNN is imo a rohrshack test for poltical zealots.

"Ted Turner or something like doesn't just run a news network, "

You do know that Turner sold CNN in 1996 to Time Warner, don't you?

"The mainstream media has become so biased."

It has ALWAYS been biased. We just didn't know it because they controlled ALL of it.

With cable TV and now the Internet we can find OTHER sources.

CNN can go pretty low. It's owned by Time-Warner, is a well-known brand name and they're never going to fold it up.

US Presidential Election Series: CNN

When viewers go below 100,000, what is the TV threshold for throwing in the towel? Al gore's TV network was taken off the air with just under 100,000 viewers.

Is that the magic number for network cancellation?
So do conservatives actually believe FOX, Breitbart, Conservative talk radio, and conservative blogs are not slanted as well?

I don't understand the cognitive dissonance with conservatives and the media...

Or maybe you just moved so far to the right, you forgot what a moderate take looks like?

And Alex Jones is now a very wealthy person. It's funny how people don't mind slanted news.... as long as it's slanting towards their perspective.
