CNN is no good. Journalists describing Joe Rogan taking horse dewormer when he had a prescription for Ivermectin is indefensible.

The entire corporate media blatantly ignoring that we've been safely giving Ivermectin to humans for decades is a total disgrace.

Maybe the powers that be decided that the ends (vaxxing) justified the means?

https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings CNN is especially eggregious. NYTimes should also be on the left column which is reflected in the votes "Somewhat disagree" with the current characterization as Center-Left (scroll down). Edit: I am just pointing out a free publicly available dataset of what the population thinks of the media. Make what you will, don't shoot me.

There is nothing necessarily wrong with bias toward a specific side, unless you make the flawed assumption that the truth must be in the center.

The truth is scattered around all points of the spectrum, left, right, center, and everywhere in between. The flawed assumption is thinking otherwise. In such a world it’s still wrong (non-optimal) to try to manipulate the news to make it seem all truth is on just one side.

The worst part of air travel for our family is CNN on every screen. The children were scared seeing all the disasters in remote areas, the non-stop crises and arguments. WTF airports.

Yea thats a super bizarre decision on the part if airports, I don’t imagine CNN/fox pays them, they probably pay huge cable bills for the privilege of increasing their customers’ anxiety.

Weather channel might make sense, but why not some anthony bourdain or rick steves, some upbeat travel TV?

If that's the worst part of air travel for you, you should count your blessings.

Inconvenience is temporary, fear is lasting.

What a terribly written article, let alone that it provides no sources. London Daily isn't a reputable and reviewed news source and it admits the following on the About Us page: > Publishing news is very simple, just click ‘add your news’ on the site and it will take the author to the article upload interface. Why was this excuse of a news article even posted here?

Why not? CNN is complete propaganda without any actual news. I really dont understand how intelligent people can watch it.

Can you explain why? (I'm not from the USA) I thought it is one of the best source for news about the US/World (Together with the NYTimes)

As an outsider who has dabbled in American television, this is true for all of American television. It’s incredible how even those who don’t think they’re brainwashed are brainwashed.

That's a broad brush. There's CNN/Fox News/OAN level bias and then there's ABC. It's a matter of degree.

If you think CNN is in the same league of bias as Fox News, you are in a deep state of denial. Let alone OAN!

Off topic:

For those looking for a decent cable TV news source, I highly recommend The News at 7pm ET on CNBC. It’s hosted by an ex-fox news anchor, but it’s the only cable news show I’ve found that isn’t blatantly far left liberal or far right conservative… and also hasn’t devolved into a talk show.

It’s refreshing to hear segments reporting on actual events that occurred, and then on to the next segment without the talking head commentary.

CNN’s front page is just embarrassing. It’s all clickbait and scare tactics.
