CNN, like some other "news" organizations have been leftist all along. It is just that they dropped all pretenses of neutrality and journalistic integrity with an all out push to keep us on the road to socialism.

It is not so much they loved Hillary, as much as they knew to keep the damage Obama has been doing to this country going, they had to have another (D) as POTUS. They of course didn't look at it as damage, rather progressive change for the better.
Thus they put all their collective eggs in Hillary's basket, hoping that if she got elected, the veil they dropped would have been worth it.

If you really want to open your eyes to what has been happening in the news media circles, read the following two books;

https://www.amazon.com/Stonewalled-O.../dp/0062322850

Here is an interview discussing why she wrote the book;


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6BLdFme8UU

At around 5:02 she talks about her bosses allowing their politics to effect what got on the air and what didn't;

She has a new book coming out that I have not read yet, but it is on the same subject;

https://www.amazon.com/Smear-Shady-P...=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Here is the other book I mentioned;

https://www.amazon.com/Silencing-Lef...Y662HT0BF9PP76

Keep in mind that neither author is right wing. One is a neutral respected journalist who has investigated and reported on both parties. The other is an avowed liberal, but still sees the erosion of free speech at the hands of her own ideological brethren.

Because even the right wing doesn't see them as actual news!

CNN tries too hard to appeal to Democrats and Republicans, not working. FOX News appeals only to Republicans, it works, that's why FOX is #1!

Interesting

I could name faults with the Bush administrations, but all you seem capable of is listing Democrat talking points decided skewed in Obama's favor.
Are you even capable of criticism of Obama & co, or were they infallible for the 8 years he and his people were in office?

CNN got Trump elected, his name was on bi-line for more than a year.

^^^^^ Conservatives perhaps from a progressive perspective, but not really conservative.

CNN is definitely more liberal than conservative.

I can't comment on what it's like to watch CNN, as I do not have cable, but I do get updates from CNN on my iPad. I actually get updates from many outlets, including Fox, NYT, WaPo, and PBS. And some others, and read others that I don't get notification on.

CNN seems to offer a decent variety of content. I don't feel like they bombard me with Russia/Trump scandals, but then again, I read CNN, not watch. I can be a bit more selective in what I see, which I think is for the best.

I think CNN is mostly fine though I don't think anyone should rely on it exclusively. I don't think there's a single source that I would recommend anyone use exclusively.
