Meanwhile CNN allowed this to be tossed out there yesterday (I was watching this live and couldn't believe she actually said it):

NYT won awards and they supported Stalin even during his sham trials and "famine" in Ukraine.

Anything to do with politics is going to be a lecture on how they want me to think, so I change the channel.
CNN used to be the channel to go to for breaking news. Now CNN is the channel if you want to follow lies and fake information and laugh how dumb they are.

What a waste of time to watch them and I'm so glad that CNN made sure we spend more time on other things than watching "news".

There are many good shows to watch and spending time with family and friends away from TV is great.

Thanks CNN as they also made our decision to cut the cord, easier as changing channels with a "cord" was a bit easier but since we don't watch CNN or at least 90% less than we did, we feel so much better!

I wonder how much success the advertiser in CNN have

I use to watch CNN over other news network.... now I watch none... the news suddenly became 24/7 anti-Trumpers for over a year now... full of Fake News 24/7... I have to screen what I read on the internet, they also became anti-Trump.... they are the main reason I voted for Trump, they do NOT represent American interest...

Look, at one time CNN was a news network. A news network merely reported the news. They led the path to becoming opinion network. The danger in that is how do you fact check an opinion? "When the president said this, I think he really meant that". How do you fact check an opinion. Once it becomes opinion, those who follow this source of "news" automatically believes this as a reported fact without reading nor listening to the actual words the president used. Also, how many times a day you dedicate to the same story is an indicator of your bias. A tweet by the president should be a one day brief mention story. A major disaster or terrorist attack should be covered as long as they're covering the president's tweet. There's a reason why CNN promoted McCain and Trump in the primaries,...they believed these were the candidates most likely to be defeated in the general election. Once they one the primary, then CNN and other likeminded networks went on the attack. McCain wasn't use to being attacked by the press that lovingly called him the maverick when he voted against the republicans in congress. He didn't know how to react. Trump didn't care and just went and fought back on their attacks. That made CNN hate Trump more. What CNN doesn't realize is there was already a growing population of people who have grown to hate what CNN has become and cheered on Trump's attacks in response to their attacks.

I never watched it.

It was far left when ted turner started it and has never changed.

It wasn't called the Clinton News Network for nothing!

Both evolved as common sense and reason went out the window with the advent of social media.
The Facsism of the alt-left has really just begun....they're ramping it up.

They could barley being themselves to break away from the incessant Trump bashing to report on the Barcelona terror attack.
Yes, reality does have a liberal bias I suppose. But even conservatives are bashing the insane clown president these days. The ones who have commonsense, anyway.

I don't watch any televised news accept things like the weather or coverage of an actual event.

Ironically, you are what you purport to hate. The "antifascists" of today are fascists. They shut down any opposing views with violence and intimidation.


If you were truly "anti-fascist" (which I presume you are not by your rhetoric), you would oppose the hate speech and violence of both the KKK supported groups as well as the "anti-fascists" and groups such as "black lives matter". Regardless of whether one considers them to based in the political left or right, they all have totalitarian views and back those beliefs with violence, threats and intimidation.
