CNN.com has definitely gone to seed. Ten years ago they were rock solid. Now half of their stories are complete fluff, and there are always two or three teaser links that don't say anything about what the story is about, forcing sheep to click. When they ditched SI for BR for sports I severed all ties.

They are the Today show of online news sites.

nah, I just don't enjoy extreme, one-sided news reports.

CNN is the absolute best when there is real news or some type of breaking news report. Which is the only time I generally watch any of that crap. The other channels always play everything to their "side"

Yeah I hear this a lot, but I don't think it's true. If you call reporting on the Malaysian airliner for months "closest to the middle", then I guess you are right. CNN is a joke.

ETA: You aren't going to get anything down the middle watching these news networks. That's just the reality of the media today.

Same story two different headlines.

I haven't watched Fox News since probably Bush was in office. I'm not really much into their propaganda.

They're both fricking garbage and so are the legions of hand-stamped meatheads that choose consume it.

That was for you, CaptainPanic.

They are all the same. They all know their audience and they all pander to them.

There's a paragraph or two in Mein Kampf that I've recently read that I believe Hitler absolutely, 100% accurately wrote.

I'll have to try to find it online. If not, I'll take the time to type the tl;dr paragraph.

CNN: Ultra liberal bull - I can't stand the articles, and ESPECIALLY the comments section. Holy crap PC and liberal agendas Batman! Seriously, f CNN.
Fox: Ultra conservative bull. Like CNN's schizo buddy.
WSJ/tNYT: Slight biases, but not to the extent of a "join us" mentality.

Switch to the WSJ or tNYT.

The only thing worth a shite on Fox News is Shep Smith. The rest is just garbage. Even if you are conservative, I don't see how someone could watch other Fox News programming and not want to put their head through a wall. It's the same thing day in and day out. Whether it's that harpy Greta Van Sustren yelling at me through the side of her mouth, or the douche hypocrite Bill O'Reilly smarmily talking about morality... it's just all crap.

Get news from news agencies: AP,Reuters, WSJ, etc.

I do tend to watch CNN for breaking news, but CNN is pretty rough.

The most credible things about CNN are Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon (sometimes).

If you could replace Hannity and Kelly with Tapper and Cooper you'd have a really legit lineup every night with a good combo of conservative cause issues and legitimate journalists who try and keep it close to the middle.
