CNN is a joke, a tabloid medium, a pseudo-news outlet. i am not surprised that Liberals like it--since they cannot make their arguments fit the world, it is easier to watch a version of the world that is twisted around their arguments. it is a kind of long-term circle jerk with pictures.
what differentiates CNN from other outlets is the singleness of their viewpoint. of course, the left likes to whine about a range of opinion and try to categorize even that as "extremism"--which i find both funny logically and sad empirically, to the extent that the claim has any validity attribute to it at all.
CNN then is a symptom of the wraparound media space the left has made to shelter its demographic from any unpleasant traces of opposing opinions.
good job, mr. Turner---first you help your neocon cause by trying to evacuate the space for reasonable discussion across political positions by a wholesale conflation of ideology and image, and then you compound it by playing off the self-reinforcing nature of conservative pseudo-argumentation. quite a service you provide.
My point is that both sides have their outlets. And before you damn one or the other both have their leanings. FOX is more right, CNN and most of the others lean to the left. Thats the fact. And those of the left get mad about Fox, those on the Right have been getting mad at CNN cause of its leftist veiws. Only way to get the middle or close to it would be to watch both and way it out. Not to watch one just to see how "screwed up" their reporting is
