What do you guys think of CNN?

Both are wrong or bad or deceitful, BUT my side (the Democratic party) is less bad, less wrong, less deceitful. Science has proven this.

CNN's Daily News is pretty accurate with a slight bias

Their nighttime talk shows are obviously left-leaning but seem more extreme because Republicans right now now are so out there that it's tough not to be outspoken when you're covering such extreme Behavior

Fox's Daily News is right-leaning with a mix of decent reporting but then some complete propaganda

Chris Wallace is really good on Fox and a few other guys are reasonable but , as a network in general, always mix in some absurd right-wing propaganda

Fox's nighttime talk shows are so right wing as to just be absurd especially in the current climate. If they were covering someone reasonably like Mitt Romney or John McCain then they wouldn't be so crazy but to try to support what's going on now they are just absurd

As a counterpart MSNBC is just as biased as Fox but they seem completely more reasonable because the people they are rooting for are not doing constant outlandish things

No matter to me . This recent season has confirmed that I’m better off without both. None of them see themselves as journalists but rather as television stars. We all suffer because of it.

Totally agree

So what is everyone’s go to news source?

Not sure about all of that, did you expect Trump to get beaten so badly Hardloper?

Yeah, I bet money on Biden when the odds were around 50/50. I don't watch CNN though so I knew the Biden+10 landslide they were expecting was nonsense.

Easy money, Trump is an idiot.

307 maybe not a landslide but a HUGE win.

propaganda and lies.

CNN is Fox News for moderate liberals. Like Fox news it appeals to older people who don't get out much.

Wolf Blitzer is a God. Of people who blitz wolves.

What do you guys think of James Earl Jones?

Reuters is probably the best for neutrality.

If the above graph was three dimensional, the group around CNN would form a helix with Thomas Paine's Common Sense at its origin.

CNN has won the race to best overall production and display of news between the cable channel and online content. But its hard swing left and the sensationalism is readily detectable to the fine tuned mind. This is why I check myself with AP News articles and Reuters.

Good point, though I favour the Financial Times. It does require some intelligence on the part of the reader though.

Isn't it Wolf Shiltzer?

Their election night coverage was outstanding. John King is what other journalists should aspire to be. Otherwise, they’re a slightly more palpable Fox News that does a better job of feigning objectivity. I can’t get through more than five minutes of someone like Van Jones.

CNN, as well as other news outlets, are no-longer staffed by journalists. Rather they've become partisan pulpits for their respective parties.

CNN is dead meat, AT&T bought it as part of its Time Warner acquisition and is now actively seeking a buyer. They won't find one though.

The gold standard for news I won’t watch anything else. Tried MSNBC AND Fox and they’re just mirror images of the same thing. Bunch of blowhards talking into an echo chamber.

As CNN’s slogan says - The Most Trusted Name In News.

NPR is my go-to during my commute. The chart put up by the other poster puts NPR very close to the apex of neutral, unbiased fact reporting.

I see myself as a slightly left leaning independent moderate although VERY left right now until this disaster passes. I find NPR as good as I can find. A big part of that is because most of my very liberal friends swear NPR is far too conservative and my conservative friends think it is far too liberal. Not too official but that makes NPR toward the middle and fact based in my eyes.
