    Absolutely. If you think CNN does that then you are sadly mistaken.

    S2 is super-hypocritical, because we all have different opinions.

    If you want people to take you seriously then do some google research before posting shit post memes. Otherwise the only thing your telling people is that are easily lead and susceptible to propaganda. Comrade

    No, but you seem to be against a news organization providing you with opposing views. That's exactly what fair and balanced means and you seem to be poo pooing that whole notion.

    It flies in the face of you say you "absolutely" want.

    This video is a prime example of why young people didn't come out to vote in the 2016 election.

    So I uh, you know I watched this again. 90 percent of the hypocrisy is Hannity.
    Hannity is a joke.

    So, uhhhhhh these aren't newscasts don't ya know?

    Sure Geraldo should be embarrassed and sell used cars. So what?

    I just reread the thread and watched the video again. CNN is all opinion pieces but all of the opinion crap that Hannity and Ingraham and Karl Rove regurgitate is now apparently regular news?

    Weird times we live in when people can only see the obvious about the one they don't like but not the one they do.

    It's also weird times when people make arguments that arnt even there, in an effort to confirm their own bias and excuse others shitty behavior. With that in mind, reread the whole thread and count for me all the people who are actually defending CNN.

    Saying "no, but....." about CNN is defending them.

    If I see Trump do something and KNOW what CNN is going to say and what Fox is going to say they are BOTH garbage.

    Most of the clips from the video were Hannity and Laura Ingrahm and they aren't newscasters.

    Even the video showed something that makes Fox look better. Tucker Carlson and guest were speaking in hypotheticals and Carlson says something like "yeah that's unlikely"

    Show me clips of their newscasters making stuff up

    Wolf Blitzer is annoying. More annoying than a Dick Vitale broadcast.
    Anderson Cooper is dull.
    The whole format blows. I'll turn off the station or walk out of the room when that shit product is broadcasting.

    Exactly the point. The thread was started about how FOX news is trash, thong uses "no but" CNN is trash with a shitty laughable example. We all laugh at his posts. Then we point out how one shitty station is not an excuse for another shitty station. We also pointed out how bad his example was and how lacking in information it was, which was also pretty funny. Are you up to speed yet?

    You know it could be that CNN gets to choose what it publishes? You do know that don't you?

    I think the problem here is that people actually watch news thinking they aren't being misled.

    Stop watching the news, read opposing viewpoints and come up with your own opinion. Not a corporate and advertising backed opinion.
