Who else has lost respect for CNN with their Ferguson coverage?

I know they are left leaning, but I never considered them quite as polarized as Fox and MSNBC. However, with their blatant bias in the reporting on Ferguson I don't think I can consider them a more balanced option anymore.

Wonderful. Let's all give we a round of applause...what an amazing young woman

I lost respect for all the major news outlets years ago.

Lost would imply that I had any respect for CNN in the first place.
Erin Burnett and Brooke Baldwin are both fine as hell though!

MSNBC is FAR worse.

I think journalists just aren't very smart. Total lack of common sense. Yes they want ratings but some if the things they say... Just wow.

Never watch CNN. Candy Crowley in the Presidential debate, was the final nail for me. Utter...corruption! I wouldn't watch if they were the only show in town.
Screw political correctness; it's fool's gold and a bane upon honest and productive dialogue.
Sounds like you'll be an Al Jazeera listener now, PT. Pretty good really. Both sides. Surprisingly.

To me for you to say Fox is polarizing because they aren't liberal leaning is asinine.
On a scale of 0 to 100 I would put MSNBC at 100 NBC, CBS and ABC at 90 CNN at 80 and PBS at 95. I would put Fox at 10 percent. Thwy have a lot if liberals like Beckel Jaun Williams, and even the Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace. Their Hard News with Bret Bair is straight down the middle, and the gay guy at 2:00 is also straight down the middle.
You miss the mark by assuming all the shows are hard news shows instead if opinion shows, and then you don't understand that O'reily is almost a liberal to me, as is the girl who is on at 8:00 with the Kelly Files. Sure, they come down hard on dumb liberals, because they are dumb but they are both far from being a right wing conservatives.
They advocate for truth while MSNBC and PBS seeks to brainwash the public. IMHO, CNN is not as bad as NBC, CBS or ABC but they are caught in a vice and have become irrelevant they can't beat Fox because they started out liberal instead of down the middle, which if they had been 100 percent objectively down the middle, Fox News might have never been born. So to get viewers they have to compete with MSNBC which means they must go further left than they currently are which makes them a worse news organization.
Which us why they are showing Forensics File shows erc. etc.
Shining light on Government at all costs should be a major news organizations objective, not lying in bed with them.

It's impossible for me to lose any more respect for CNN.
Posted on 8/18/14 at 12:21 pm to PsychTiger
honestly I think a lot of the legit reports are sick of it all, too
Jake Tapper looked like he wanted to kill himself while reporting live the other night. The more polarizing the better the ratings, and unfortunately that's all that really matters.

Can't lose what I didn't have in the first place.

Jeff Zucker is destroying that network

When the police officer is cleared of this, these idiots won't have a damn thing to say about it.
They'll move on to another excuse for the thug that robbed a liquor store and tried to take this cops weapon and kill him. It'll be, well if the cop didn't stop the two black males, profiling, he wouldn't have been attacked in the first place...

I watched their "international news team" coverage last night on CNN (2 Australians) and it was very hackish. They essentially tried to equate the whole ordeal to murdering innocent protesters in the street. They even brought in a 40 year vet of the LAPD to find out why they were cracking down on protesters because of "a few bad eggs". His response was that there's no way to surgically segregate the ones in the crowd that are shooting at the cops, so their methods were the most appropriate to protect the general public as well as the police. They didn't expect that answer.

I didn't have any respect for CNN to start with. They're the Der Sturmer / Pravda of our time.

Their late night coverage has been particularly shocking to me. They have been slanted to the point of downright lying about the events.
Posted on 8/18/14 at 1:47 pm to PsychTiger
They've been really bad since "the shakeup" 9 months or so ago. It's complete shite now. They dedicated a month ov 24/7 coverage to that damn plane.
Posted on 8/18/14 at 2:41 pm to PsychTiger
I haven't lost respect for CNN because I never had any to begin with.
Posted on 8/18/14 at 2:55 pm to PsychTiger
I lost all respect during the Trayvon mess. Nancy Grace screaming "I heard him say 'fricking coon'" was the last straw.
They are straight up lying to incite unrest. I thought that was illegal, but i guess not.
