LOL!
It's like CNN can do no wrong, even when someone with a left lean calls them out.

Neither YOUR comment nor my reply had anything to do with the leftist boogeyman the Russians.

So you're comparing a major network news service with journalists and reporters to a blogger who has to brag about the Mac computer and IPhone he uses for cred?
Where do you think this guy gets his info?

It's nice for those in the media industry to hold each other accountable, don't you agree? What's your issue? I guess you conveniently missed this part of the "About Us" read:

"TVLive is THE TV News Insider website that has been around since 2000.

FTVLive has become a must read for anyone that works or wants to work in TV News. We tell it to you straight with an edge, along with some humor (well at least we find it humorous) and don't pander to TV executives like many of the other so called insider websites.

FTVLive has become one of the most read and powerful websites that covers TV news.

The person behind FTVLive.com is Scott Jones or as Piers Morgan has called him the "Mad Blogger."

Jones spent 20+ years in the TV News trenches, before leaving TV for the online world.

Scott's a former News Director, Executive Producer, Producer, Assignment Editor, Reporter and Photographer.

in April of 2015, Jones was named one of the most important media Reporters in America by Mediaite.

Jones is the Editor and Founder of FTVLive.com, he also is a major contributor to the TV websites newsblues, tvspy and tvnewser, although he is not paid or rarely credited for his work on those sites."

Wait, so you're using the site's own description of how important they are as proof of how important they are? Good one.

FTVLive.com is one person, pretty much a nobody from what I can tell. No book, no pulitzer prizes, one alleged accolade from Mediate who is probably a buddy, with no reference.

"The Mad Blogger". LOL, now there's a real testimonial.

Look, FTVLive isn't even listed on mediabiasfactcheck.com which lists damn near every major news source. Sorry, but they are a nobody. Not sure what else to tell you.

Many such sources are much more reliable and significantly less biased than mainstream media sources. Very often, they'll even give you detailed links to all their sources so you can double-check that they're doing a good job and unedited video so you can draw your own conclusions.

At this point, anybody with a smartphone and a YouTube channel is more likely to catch breaking news right on the front lines than anyone else. There's less and less need for entities like CNN and Fox to send folks out to get the news. Somebody with a smartphone will have uploaded everything to YouTube before they can even board their plane. The mainstream media is dying because we don't need it anymore. One or two people can do everything they do just as well from their living room. Phil Defranco gets more views per day --- about twice as many -- than CNN and he does a pretty credible job of reporting the news every day. You also get to discuss what he and other new media folks say in the very active comments sections. Tim Pool is just one of hundreds of guys who reports on the ground all the time and manages to be a lot less biased than the MSN in the process. If you wanted CNN-style Liberal biased news, The Young Turks can give you that and you don't have to pay for cable TV to get them. So why exactly do we need Jim Acosta and CNN?

Wow, you're really amazing, but not really. What exactly is your dog in this fight against FTVLive?? Are you against the media industry holding itself accountable or are you stomping your feet at the thought of anyone putting CNN in its place for its ridiculousness and narcissistic behavior?

I don't watch CNN, but good Lord, have you watched any of them lately? Poor, pitiful George Stephanopulus (sp) starts every sentence with vitriol and venom spewing from his miserable little piehole long before he gets to the actual subject. He reminds me of a cartoon character with nothing good to say about anything Trump. Even positive actions are greeted with disdain from the media. And they wonder why nobody pays attention to them anymore.
