I don't get all the CNN trashing...
Edited on Fri Oct-08-10 10:35 AM by quinnox
I made a thread saying I like CNN the best and people were trashing CNN.

CNN has Anderson Cooper, Paul Begala, it has Eliot Spitzer in a good new politics show, it has John King, it has a lot of good reporters working for them. CNN has had on a lot of hard left Democrats as commentators like James Carville and Donna Brazille. It just is leagues ahead of MSNBC and Fox in the caliber of its reporting in my opinion!

Even the conservatives they have on generally make more sense, are more moderate, and aren't outright insane like on some of the other cable channels.

1. Breitbart was the guest on the Spitzer show this week. Not very moderate, I'd say.

You must have a completely different definition of "hard left" than I do.

3. Also, most of the "anchors" on CNN are idiots.

5. Well, they don't really practice investigative journalism, for starters
always staying well within the confines of the status quo narrative, even the people you mention.

6. It's an opinion board. You offer an opinion, you get one back. You've lost nothing.

There was a time here where CNN was by far the favored network among many DUers and now I seem to be the only one who still likes CNN?? That just seems very off.

oh hell, I'm gonna make a POLL about this, screw it...

9. Actually, people trashed your SOURCE, Human Events. If you didn't get the bias from the phrase
"hyper-liberals," especially when applied to the likes of CHRIS MATTHEWS, it's rather easy to question your objectivity.

I mean, :wow:

11. Go to the CNN ticker IF
they post a comment about a republican and the feed back is terrible they cut off the posts, if the posts are good they let them run. IF they post a comment about Democrats and the comments are terrible they let they go, IF the comments are good they cut them off. AND HALF THE TIME IF YOU POST SOMETHING AGAINST REPUBLICANS THEY WON'T POST IT SAYING IT HAD TO BE MODERATED.

And read the scue of the headline of the article, always making Democrats look bad over something that should not even be argued over.

although I rarely watch CNN.
