I never said I don't watch CNN, in fact outside of reading a lot it's the American news outlet I I trust most, and its very easy pick out biased behavior. Don Lemon is extremely biased and far left... easy to see. Anderson Cooper, while he tries to be a little left of center tends to lean very far left too in his reporting, but again, this organization has been labeled the face of Fake News by Trump, and in my opinion it is unwarranted at an insane level. Please find me 3 fake news stories CNN has run with regarding the Trump administration. You can't.
Moving on... What exactly is the left doing that I should be criticizing?
Sexual harassment? Yup, fucked up. I think they're handling it well though at this point. Pelosi called for Conyer's resignation and are calling for an ethics investigation into Franken. But yes, can't be hypocritical here and they have been to some degree...
Hmm, what else can I bitch about with Dems...
I don't know... What are they doing currently that's on the news and could negatively effect our future? I honestly can't really think of anything. Maybe I need to watch more FOX News.
Anyone who can't find one bad thing to say about the left in recent times is not a centrist under any standards.
He's not saying, "I don't like where the Republican Party is going so I'm probably going to vote Democrat for awhile."
He's literally devoid of any real criticism for the left, and his political posts here are straight outta the far left playbook.
That's not centrism.
How come blake and SrslySirius have been able to make even-keeled posts despite their obvious dislike of Trump and some recent GOP practices?
It is fine if vegas1369 has moved to the left. I would just like him to acknowledge it.
Huh? She is a left wing hack and been around for like 40 years. Nobody has ever suggested she is some larger than life figure. She peaked along with her husband in the 90s, she has been a hanger-on for over a decade. She is in her 70s also. Not sure why you pulled her out of a hat, but she is a has-been, for like a decade.
interesting. i have literally no experience with foreign media beyond the 6 months i lived in thailand, which as indicated was eye opening.
the thing to remember regarding american media is pre-trump, you had the media and then you had this pygmy thing over in jersey with fox news, who stated in court they dont even consider themselves journalist media and reserved the right to basically upcycle clickbait from alex jones etc. the only positive trump has accomplished is shocking and shaming fox news into an ongoing act of contrition vis a vis semi-accurate coverage of The Trump Situation.
post-trump, the media has one job and thats to protect the great american unwashed from being brainwashed by a portly speedfreak carnival barker.

I love how Druff is accusing me of being a liberal now without addressing any of the unavoidable beyond fucked up behavior of the GOP I pointed out to him in my initial response.
Good stuff.

Name one Center-Right host M-F on CNN. You can find a couple on Saturday afternoon when nobody watches, but between 6am - 10pm Monday-Friday on CNN there is not one host that likely voted Republican the last 25 years. Not even close.
You watch CNN because you identify with them. Nothing to be ashamed of, just pointing out facts.
i dont think most people on here know what left/far left means
the democrats wouldnt be a left wing party in any civilized country
in the uk they would probably only be left of ukip and the dup
heck even those tory cunts would be disgusted by the democrats
Identity politics -- making their entire constituency that they are victims and at war with the heterosexual white male
Softness on violent crime while crime rate rises
Vilification of law enforcement
Inexplicable lies and exaggerations about Trump despite the fact that there are literally thousands of true things which are worthy of legit criticism
Longtime coverup of negative stories about party friends like Harvey Weinstein
Cheating in Presidential primaries
Support of single-payer healthcare without understanding our current healthcare model enough to know that conversion to that right now would be a disaster
Support of "compassionate release" or "rehabilitative release" of brutal murderers
Support of higher taxes, rather than an intelligent elimination of loopholes abused by the wealthy and corporations
Repeated denial of obvious truths, such as the fact that Muslims are far more likely per capita to commit terrorist acts in the US (admitting this would be "Islamophobic" lol)
Need I go on?
You can still be a centrist and oppose the current Administration.
I keep repeating this, but it's not getting through for some reason.
Hating the current President and those who support him shouldn't warp the rest of your political views to where they all go left.
And if you do find yourself devoid of criticism of the current left, guess what? It's time to admit you're a leftist.

I just gave you the names of those hosts and said they are both far left. They also ALWAYS have a panel with equal amounts of people on both sides of the fence, and the far right dude on Cooper and Lemon's panel lately is extreme to the point where he is a Hannity puppet. Paris Dennard is a black version as well, plus Rick Santorum and many others. Both sides are equally represented on these panels and talks every night. I question whether any of you questioning CNN even watch any of it. I'm highly doubting it.

I watch CNN, not every day, but once or twice a week. There is not a host on air Monday-Friday that is not far left. Sure, they have a couple panel members 10 minutes every hour to give the appearance they are middle of the road. But the narrative is always anti-Trump from the hosts. CNN has blind hatred for Trump. They lead with Russia just about every day, even when there is no story, they just talk about it. They don't even allow Alan Dershowitz on anymore, who is about as liberal as anyone. Alan began speaking the truth that Trump did nothing illegal, he was basically attacked by the hosts and he is no longer welcome on the network.
CNN is a huge gift to Trump. Mark Dice has made a You-Tube career exclusively off CNN's coverage of Trump. The irony is without CNN Trump is not President. He is as important to CNN and CNN is to him. Big difference is CNN hosts come and go, Trump is in a club of 45 members past 250 years.
I'm hearing Dowd is about to get disbarred.
Not many ways to spin it once you claim you posted a criminally incriminating tweet from your clients twitter account.
What an absolute burger.

Answers above. All of these are "issues" and not "current events". No one is really talking about issues in this thread, or in the news since Trump forcibly dominates it daily. I am here commenting on current events I read about or see on thr news on a daily basis, none of which are ever about any of the issues you brought up.
Wow, I've never seen a grown man get verbally bitch slapped like that.....kudos Todd....
