The "Is CNN Biased" post, Poll edition..

[KONE]

CNN just called Michigan for Trump

 

[68W Man]

Any politician (or high profile celebrity for that matter) caught in any sort of "sex scandal" gets lots of media coverage. The accusations didn't just come out of the blue either. They followed the grab em by the pussy video. So what do you want CNN to do when women start coming out under these circumstances? Completely ignore it. Wanting the media to ignore something that would under any other circumstance cover is what is biased.

Interesting but CNN seemed to not want to discuss Bill Clinton's sexual scandal cases that had much more historical evidence much when Hillary was running.

I can post numerous videos of CNN selectively editing and lying by omission and having the feed be lost at opportune times to suggest that they are indeed highly biased.

Let's not forget when they had the sister of the guy who caused the black lives matter riot and they said she was calling for peace when in reality she was calling for the suburbs to be burned down.

Let's not forget when they suggested that checking wikileaks could be illegal.

Let's not forget when they choose to air any sexual abuse case they could against Trump at the start of the wikileak drops.

Let's not forget when aired segments about racist frogs.

Let;s not forget about when they repeatedly talked about David Duke despite him being disavowed.

Let's not forget the numerous hate crime hoaxes that they have displayed without following up on the story to show it was a fake.

Let's not forget how even to this very day almost every single segment that they have about Trump is a negative one.

Let's not forget how they suggested that Steve Bannon is a white supremacist and runs a fake news site.


These are all just off the top of my head.

Yeah the poll is pretty unanimous. Apparently these views are held by a few posters and the vast majority see them as..umm..well..you know....wrongsies.

 

[QuitYourCrying]

Just read his post. He can't be serious, surely?

He is beyond a joke.

It's funny because most of those 6 are just trolling anyway

Seriously, I create polls about whether Obama loved his country or not and whether black people should be thankful their ancestors got "invited" to America and they aren't even close to as one sided as this.

 

[Slippery Kantus]

I'd feel sorry for JVS if he wasn't such a condescending muppet all the time.

 

[The Diplomat]

Surprised @glennrod voted they aren't biased at all.

 

[The Diplomat]

Obviously pro-Democratic and pro-Republican pundits hired by CNN are pro-Democratic or pro-Republican. That's different from the issue of institutional bias.

Does it feel weird that you're the only one in the entire section really defending CNN? Like, the rest of us are just sheep and you are truly enlightened?

 

[Arkain2K]

Where the hell is that ridiculous video of Wolf Blitzer claiming that Hillary mere "stumbles" on her way to the van, followed by the CNN panel harping about the blistering infernal in New York when Hillary's team said she "overheated" on that balmy and breezy 72 degrees autumn morning?

I'm not defending CNN--I think their coverage is shallow and the focus on gossipy stuff does a lot of harm. And I didn't call anyone a sheep. People are biased and that affects how they perceive bias in the news.

Generally doesn't feel odd to disagree with WR partisans, though.

That's because he founded ISIS people are divided on that one.

hi 68W Man,

off the top of my head, i'll just take the last assertion you've made.

most people...well, as far as i know, no one here in the War Room has had the nerve (or sense of humor) to actually link to Breitbart to bolster any of their positions. i'd say the consensus here is that Breitbart.com is not a credible news site. that doesn't seem like a very controversial opinion to have.

and as far as Mr. Bannon being a white supremacist...hmmm. Mr. Bannon's views on Jews does seem to align somewhat with the worldview you see on Stormfront.

also, i don't know that CNN newspeople have called Mr. Bannon a white supremacist, though they have reported on the reality that many white supremacist group's are supportive of Bannon.

i don't really see any bias going on here.

Yeah, that's true. It was about maintaining the perception that the election was a fair contest and the perception that CNN wasn't biased.

AKA damage control

just for fun, i took a look at your second to last claim also....and....its not true either.

Nanterre, France (CNN)The leader of France's far-right National Front party, Marine Le Pen, says the US election of Donald Trump "shows that people are taking their future back," suggesting that French voters could do the same.

(CNN)Republican candidate Donald Trump's ascension to the White House has sent shock waves around the world. But it appears to have pleased one leader in particular: Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Within hours of Trump's victory speech early Wednesday, Putin congratulated the US president-electand flagged Moscow's willingness to restore ties fully with its old Cold War foe, currently at loggerheads over the Syrian conflict.

You can guess. I'm pretty much always scratching my head on that topic when you post.
