CNN has given up any pretense about unbiased reporting. They might try to put the genie back in the bottle after Trump is out of office, but for now, they are obviously trying to present a counterpoint to the Trump lovefest on FOX. Neither are providing anything approaching unbiased reporting.

It really is astounding. Literally everything Trump does from the economy to pardoning the thanksgiving Turkey is presented with a negative spin. I’ve never seen anything like it. There is no difference between the hard news portion of CNN and the Don Lemon editorial style programming. It’s all uniformly negative 24/7. Never seen anything like it—and what’s worse, those who are even halfway informed can spot lie after lie.

CNN has crossed the Rubicon and will probably always be seen as “fake news” from here on out. Still amazing to see a news network sacrifice it’s most valuable asset over a singl political candidate. CNN is finished as a news network. At this point they could get better ratings with lumber jack completions.
