    Unbelievable. CNN is a joke. Back in the day, we called them "The Clinton News Network" because they were open cheerleaders for his administration.

    Can't we just agree that all news networks are biased and hardly even report news anymore so we can just IGNORE THEM?

    Thanks.

    FOX is allowed to be biased, CNN is not.

    Show me one clip of anything like that from a reporter on Fox news, not Hannity or O'Reilly.

    What does CNN say about this?

    I didn't even watch the clip, BTW. :)


    I just know that CNN leans left and FOX leans right.

    Strange you want to leave those 2 out of it since they are almost the faces of FOX. But here is a couple (plenty more):

    You do understand that Hannity and O'Reilly are not reporters, correct? They are advocates for a particular point of view, and are not part of the FOX news department in any way. The woman in the video is supposed to be a reporter, without an axe to grind, and yet there she is, grinding away . . .

    Big difference.

    Thanks . . . I don't watch Fox enough to know their true roles. I have seen them both interview people while the network is saying fair and balanced at every commercial break, so it gives the impression they are conducting a "fair and balanced" interview.

    That Griff Jenkins is a real piece of work . . . and I think he is a reporter . . . or same thing, he is an advocate for a particular point of view?

    And I agree that the CNN reporter clearly had an agenda . . . I agree with hoojacks, both networks have an agenda.

    I just watched that Griff Jenkins piece and other than asking over and over if they didn't believe in freedom it is nothing like the original video shown. Not even in the same league, hell not even in the same sport. It isn't anything like the CNN piece in the slightest.

    You can agree that Hannity is a douche and not be a liberal ya know?

    I will watch the second video later, but I remember having watched that hot brunette stick her foot in her mouth a few times on the air. I have better uses for her. :biglaugh:

    I have a nine month old, and I still swear like a sailor. It's amazing how hard of a habit to break swearing is.

    There's been a real blurring of the lines, to the detriment of the media. To use the Oregonian as an example, John Canzano is paid to present his opinion, Jason Quick is paid to report on the Blazers. When Quick starts to present his opinion in his articles (not his blogs), he's overstepping his bounds.

    That woman was there to report on the protest. Instead, she became part of the story. You don't have to be a Columbia Journalism grad to know that's a serious violation of journalistic ethics and standards.
