Anything to do with politics is going to be a lecture on how they want me to think, so I change the channel.
I have never watched CNN, not since it was established. I stopped watching Fox around 2002. Best thing I could have done. If you think you can get unbiased coverage by switching channels you are kidding yourself, you trade one bias for another.

... And don't let them tell you what to think. Opinion shows are entertainment, not news. They don't have to maintain any real ethical standards.

I cut the cable TV cord many years ago.

If you want real news about the USA without a political bias you can rely on the BBC. Ideally get away from American news sources entirely.

Don't feed your head with what you think the news should be, open up to what the news is.

CNN has gone too far over the line for me over the past some-odd years. I consider them dangerous on the whole, though they're entitled to 1st Amendment protections like everyone else.

When I went to CNN.com today the number one story was the mother of the girl murdered in at the rally will not talk to Trump. Not the terrorist attack.

I didn't know anyone watched CNN unless they were trapped in an airport.

I don't believe you, people on the right watch CNN. They can discuss everything they are talking about at CNN right here on this forum, they can put up a very good debate on what CNN just reported and how fake that story was. Just as some people on left watch fox news, to see how they twist things over there.

There really isn't anything called an alt left. That 'alt right' stuff was coined by people involved in that movement, I suppose it is a blanket term for an assortment of whackos. There is no alt left.


If you want to find left leaning activists, go visit a soup kitchen, or a homeless shelter, or a hospice.

Wouldn't tune my TV to CNN if they paid me to. Seriously. A once reputable news source is now pure biased, non-objective trash. It's not even debatable.

Trump was the first person I heard say this, in his rant of a speech the other day. And as usual, his supporters will start doing the same just because he said it.

It truly has become the Jerry Springer of news.
