I thought we were over that PC nonsense. Plain talk was what it's all about. Say, or tweet, what's on your mind.

What's with all this pearl clutching?
This isn't about PC.

Can we trust a media to impart the news accurately, when they are emotionally invested on one side?

I don't know about outrage. I'm happy people are being honest, not outraged. They can no longer create the facade of being impartial like they used to. CNN has revealed itself for what it truly is. No better than FOX or MSNBC. That doesn't mean I can't criticize them for their views.

Trump calls for concrete action to protect Americans from Muslim terrorists entering our country and CNN rants and calls him a POS. Just......Wow.

I appreciate that's all you got because Trump is so ineffective. Enjoy.....

CNN did not call him that. This guy did a series ONCE on CNN -- he's not a regular did not say that on CNN.

But that narrative doesn't support your biased mind set.

The Left's hypocrisy is almost funny if it weren't so sad...If anyone objected to Odummy's policies, they would scream Racism but people that work for certainly Now Tnews behead Trump in effigy and call him a piece of sh*t and that's fine with these Liberal Nazi Haters.

There is nothing good about the Trump presidency. The only silver lining, will be when he vacates our house. I can't stand that bunch of thugs, (with a few exceptions,) in the white house.

People respect a person as a leader, when he LEADS, not destroys everything before he was in office and the future.

I still think, besides being a vindictive older man with grudges and a mean heart, he has some sort of dementia. IMO

Once Fox News was accepted as a legitimate news source, the die was cast.

Say what you want about FOX, but at least FOX never hid their bias. They wore it on their sleeve. CNN used to pretend to be a politically neutral news organization. People on the right knew it was just an act, and people on the left denied it, and there used to be some plausible deniability to it. We now have a president that is so hated by the left, that he is drawing out the true feelings of the CNN staff. They can't contain themselves, and deniability is no longer plausible.

I think CNN is owning it now. I've noticed a distinct change in how they comment on things.

You have to know -- that both these networks have news shows but for the most part they have entertainment shows that use the news as their source.

If you can't tell the difference I can see how it would be confusing and upsetting.
