I had been a loyal CNN viewer for years all the way up to the election. I realized that it has become the propaganda machine of the Democratic Party.
How is this collusion acceptable? Shouldn't our media remain free, fair and unbiased?
I know some of the leftists will say what about Foxnews. Well, I believe we should hold them all to the same standard. Let's also keep in mind that Foxnews is in the distant minority here. The next example some leftists come up with would be Alex Jones which is a nut job.
So far as I can tell, CNN isn't plotting anything with the DNC. The closest real example is when that CNN employee gave Hillary Clinton debate questions in advanced, something that cost her a job.
Aside from that, I'm not seeing much collusion. The level of bias is also severely exaggerated. They were pro Hillary. But they also covered Donald Trump a disproportionate amount during the primaries, something that certainly helped him win (name recognition can easily translate to votes). So unless there's evidence that the DNC and CNN are actually plotting together, their bias is more than likely just the result of market research and confirmation bias. Not collusion.
Meh. The GOP started this nonsense, and the DNC learned from them. Thats the problem with picking up tools like this and using them, eventually the other side does too.
These news channels are big corporations, not govt agencies so they are free to choose whom they want to support. Because of internet & social media, the tv channels took a big hit in ratings & profits so they are relying on sponsorship from the highest bidder to stay in business. They are saving their jobs so I wont judge them. I will boycott them however, just like I boycotted award shows.

This is precisely the problem - people on the left don't even think it's a problem.

I'd only agree if it's any other business, but it's the press, the very soul of our democracy. Shouldn't we expect them to be honest, fair and always seeking for the truth?

Funny, this post reminded me of something I saw this morning on MSNBC. MSNBC is obviously slanted left. Koch industries advertises on it. Ironic isn't it?
Actually it just says money is more important than the actual issues.
