And? That doesn't make his statement any less correct. CNN plays to their audience, and their audience wants Trump bashing 24/7. And they get what they want.

According to the Washington Post


Poster makes comments about how there's no such thing as fair and balanced, then you go on to blame Trump and cite a heavily partisan newspaper as your evidence.

I mean do you not see how tone deaf you are here?

His claim was that CNN emplys 100% Democrats. That is patently false. SE Cupp still works for CNN. She's not a Trump supporter, but still identifies as a Republican and was regularly critical of Obama. Max Boot is another. Those are just 2 off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others.

I don't watch CNN, so I have no idea how prominent any of the conservative personalities employed by them are, but it's not accurate at all to say they employ 100% Democrats.

It's convenient that any criticism can be wiped away with a "your source is fake news." Trump supporters are basically breathing lie detectors.

You do this melt every time and never have an actual rebuttal. It's either sad or dedicated.

Funny how the only “Republicans” on CNN are ones that hate Trump.

90% of CNN and MSNBC political news coverage from late 2016 to early 2020 was about Trump Russia collusion. We now know it was all bullshite. So 90% of the time for 3.5 years, CNN and MSNBC were spreading lies to their moron audience.

I'd wager Trump supporters are indeed much better lie detectors than Trump haters or "journalists" of the left.

Well, my first example was the current Press Secretary in the WHite House. I have no idea how long she was employed by CNN, nor how prominent she was, but she worked there recently.

I will give fox news credit here. They bring on people like AOC who aren't there to just be like "hey here's a member of the other party who agrees with us!"

They let libs come on and say whatever they want pretty much. They aren't "token libs" or anything.

Anytime someone disagrees with you on anything, your only response is to repeatedly accuse them of “melting”. You’re like a broken record.

That’s what being a divisive, insensitive, polarizing one-percenter will get you. The same type of individual that then questions “Why don’t they all love me?!”

Bush, for example, got ragged on for being a doofus, not for being a complete prick. He did of course, hate black people per Kanye who is now Trump’s number one fan.

call it what you like bud.


if both sides were to admit that a) yes, no media outlet is truly ever fair and honest. b) most of america watches one of the major media outlets regularly.

what is the resolution? i'm not sure that even if there was a media outlet that presented on facts and not speculation, opinion, conjecture....that the American people would show enough interest to keep it around. america likes it news like it likes it televised wrestling.
