How could CNN fire Brazile over her giving the questions to HRC if CNN did not even know about Brazile's conduct until after it appeared in Wikileaks.
How do you know that CNN didn't know. She was on their paid staff. As a member of the DNC, she should have never had access.
Furthermore, are you saying that CNN has paid operatives from the DNC where where they don't have any controls at all over what they might do? That's clear enough there is bias.
The biased media is completely obsessed with Russian collusion narratives and anything to do with Comey, Putin, Flynn, etc. As an independent I used to watch CNN pretty regularly but the coverage has become so one sided and skewed they don't even pretend to be an objective network to fairly report the news. They've joined their fellow liberals in devoting every waking second of every day to trashing the president in pursuit of their impeachment wet dream. This much is evident in their dumb "now more than ever" commercial that they air every 5 minutes. If nothing evolves out of the Russia probe they will quietly move on to something else much like the overhyped special elections that Democrats have lost 4 times now. (They love to downplay these and sweep em under the rug. )
Stories not linked to Trump always have some subtle liberal narrative. They interview biased people with liberal agendas making sure that viewers who aren't interested in their BS conspiracies/ideologies won't get a fair shake at the day's reporting. I don't know if the reports of "staged" stories are true or not but I wouldn't put it past them. While I don't share the president's "Fake News" label I trust CNN significantly less and I'm definitely not alone. Is CNN the new king of the left wing? It used to be more in the middle.
I went to CNN's website and on the front page, only two stories mention Russia. One is about a former Obama administration aid saying the Obama administration didn't handle Russia very well. The other is about Stephen Colbert for some reason.
Trump appears multiples times, two of which are in the opinion section (so aren't bringing up as that means anything said only represents the views of the person who wrote said opinion). Only in one of those articles in which he's mentioned seems to be about Russia, and it's more about his interaction with Commey than Russia.
Meanwhile, MSNBC seems to have at least 3 different articles about Trump and Commey.
So... does obsession mean they mentioned it but also mentioned a ton of other stuff, a significant chunk of which seems to be mostly about the healthcare bill in the Senate (meaning not Trump)?

Can't have it both ways.
I am not going to defend Donna Brazile's conduct because she breached her trust with CNN and she should have known better. She deserved to be fired.
However, according to CNN, CNN never gave her access to those questions.
Be that as it may, it is disingenuous to to single out CNN for having a DNC political commentator as FOX has plenty of Republican pundits who are on the RNC payroll as does CNN for that matter.
You can't always control the conduct of your contributors or employees. Ask Fox about Bill O'Reilly.

I'm not disputing this. I rarely go to CNN's website but I do flip through the channels throughout the day. Everytime I land on CNN it's Russia. The first 2 times I checked in they were talking about alleged Russian meddling and why Trump didn't heed Obama's warning. Before I stepped out an hour ago they were talking about Trump's tweets about not being under investigation. Inside Politics is on right now and they're replaying an interview on MSNBC with a Democratic Senator on Capitol Hill talking about Trump's attempts to "stop the Russian investigation". It's NON-STOP and it's ridiculous. I had to switch over to Fox and Reuters to find out what's going on in the world today.
I complain about CNN because I still watch it, albeit in much smaller chunks. Otherwise I'd avoid it all together. The primary purpose of this thread was to gauge whether non-liberals (which are easy to spot) view it as a happy medium or too left wing to be reliable.
If you’re not watching multiple different networks throughout the day, reading multiple different informative magazines during the week or newspapers, then you don’t know what the news media is telling you fact or fiction. I’ve viewed FOX most every day in the morning hours and CNN & MSNBC in the evening along with BBC news media and as a news junkie I can’t find enough truth in FOX news to be comfortable with them. Other news sources contradict FOX daily on different reports. FOX isn’t factual and doesn’t provide truthful news most of the time.
We have a president who tweets all day long. Much of what he tweets is untrue, biased or outright lies. Therefore, it takes the news stations that wish to set the record straight all day.
If Trump would stick to the facts (which he does about 25% of the time) or just shut up and work, it would not be necessary to discuss half of what the news stations discuss. They are not the fake news--they are correcting the fake news.
I'm sure Trump fans disagree, as they do not appear to question anything that comes out of his mouth, but that is exactly how it is.
We unfortunately have a needy attention-seeking person in the WH who insists that every mundane and often illogical thought that pops into his head must be disseminated to the world. Maybe he could just control himself, put a lid on it, leave us in peace and just work. Right--when pigs fly.
