    I really wouldn't have a problem with CNN if they were just honest at this point about who and what they are. I mean, MSNBC is way left. But they aren't shy about it. They embrace it. It's part of their identity.

    CNN is still trying to pass itself off as an impartial source of "news", and a lot of people still view it that way. Which means those people are consuming left-wing analysis and commentary as if it's fact.

    IKR?!?

    It's like Fox News calling itself 'fair and balanced'. Or did they stop doing that cause it wasn't honest.

    Say what you want about Fox, but they aren't afraid to put out both sides of an issue and debate. Just because their guys win alot doesn't mean it's not fair.

    Right, cause CNN never brings on a stupid member of the other side to make the other side look like idiots.

    Like if CNN was honest about creating terrorists because it's good for ratings?

    Not sure how many terrorists actually get their start by watching American news. Could be a nonzero number, but hard to imagine it's much bigger than zero.

    A bernie sanders supporter, full of leftist rage, shot at a bunch of congress members during a recreational baseball league practice.

    Did he get all of his ideas from Al Jazeera?

    Why presume it was CNN? Maybe it was that one guy on Fox who doesn't like Trump.

    Could be. There have been times I've been watching Juan Williams and felt the initial tremors of a murderous rage.
