"Liberal" CNN

[Arkady]

I don't visit CNN.com too often, because it's turned into such a cesspool, in its attempts to imitate Fox News. But, when I do, I'm always struck by the gulf between how CNN is portrayed as part of the "liberal media," and the actual tilt of the site.

For example, right now, the top stories are:
1) An account of the "growing support" for the police officer who did the shooting.
2) An item saying "Ferguson protest deteriorates rapidly."
3) An item about "agitators" in Ferguson not always being locals.
4) Two neutral items just referring to the violence.
5) An item about how restaurants in Ferguson are struggling thanks to the protests.

Overall, I wouldn't expect any different from a consciously conservative-leaning site. Other than the two items with no real point of view, each of the others picks up on an angle being pushed by the conservative media.

Saw last night CNN was reduced to non stop coverage with breathless reporters standing around filming 30 guys jumping up and down in the street while a bunch of bored police stood by and watched them...Slightly comical and utterly shameful pandering for ratings

They must be a bunch of huge racists...
