CNN is the most biased mainstream news outlet.

part of my problem with the Trumpeters is that they equate how the press handled a normal human like Obama with how they handle a loose cannon liar like Trump. If they are handled the same, that indicates a bias towards Trump because Obama did not repeatedly lie about everything the way Trump does. It's truly incomparable.

Let's just cross party lines and all agree that CNN is crap and lousy and hurts political discourse, not because it is biased towards an ideological wing, but because it is entertainment disguised as "news".

I love Fareed Zakaria, but outside of him, does CNN have anyone decent on?

I like Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, and John King.

Wolf Blitzer is indefensible.

Don Lemon is my least favorite.

Can anyone name an anchor on CNN worse than Lemon?

I get the sense that Don Lemon would be a better journalist if he wasn't on CNN. His show has Zucker stink all over it.

Lots of Trump's detractors passed around the smelling salts upon seeing this tweet

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

They have ben saying "Trump is attacking the press, calling the press 'enemies of the people', that's an attack on the 1st amendment"

This is both an absurd and hypocritical reactions from the left. Trump attacks the left wing of the commercial media (NYT, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN). That apparently the crime of crimes. Democrat presidents and politicians attack the right wing of the commercial media (Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Breitbart/Project Veritas) and apparently that's fine and not an attack on the 1st amendment.

The left seems to think that the left wing of the mass commercial media IS the press. The right wing of mass commercial media as well a Youtube channels/twitter accounts/blogs etc apparently don't count so much as being 'the press' and attacking them is apparently not a problem.

I agree with you. My eyes have been definitely been opened in the past few years, reading about examples of media bias, hypocrisy, and lies. It is amazing, the negativity which has been attached to the past month. It's as if the whole world is crashing down, in a very disastrous manner.
