CNN is very pro-democrat, as clearly shown in all their election coverage. This makes them partisan left. From what I've seen, CNN tends to support the favoured democrat candidate/front-runner, and TYT lean further left and often show support for somebody like Sanders, but show general support across the board. > You also don't address their main evidence What main evidence? Their main programming? The main programming of both is left leaning, and when it comes to discussing elections and US politics, is incredibly partisan.

To most Europeans the US Democrats are center / right wing. There are no major left wing political parties in the US and no major left wing media outlets.

  The left-right paradigm is obviously limited in its scope for explaining the nuanced differences between parties and political movements and especially across international and cultural boundaries.

The main programming of both is left leaning, and when it comes to discussing elections and US politics, is incredibly partisan. The second half of the sentence you quoted tells you exactly what main evidence. If you're going to abridge quotes to take away their key meaning and then attack them I'm not going to both doing the research necessary to argue with you.

  You're really grasping at straws here. There was no link or example provided in the original comment. They simply stated what they perceived the main programming to be. In one of my comments I address that by saying that the main programming on both is very pro-democrat, but with TYT leaning further left than CNN in their support of candidates that are further left than the front-runner. There is nothing else to address. If you dispute my counter-claims, please do so. Don't just say "you didn't do x" and sit back as if that's enough intelligent input to win an argument.
