I strongly disagree. Where were these standards during the Covington Highschool kid case? Where were journalistic standards when Governor Cuomo was covering up care home deaths? Where was journalistic standards when the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings was implicating Joe Biden in corruption? CNN's coverage of Bernie Sanders has been plainly obviously biased against him [1].
CNN is not journalism. CNN is a TV show designed to enthrall and manipulate.
Glenn Greenwald has countless times illuminated the deception of the Intelligence Community and how they peddle influence through CNN.
I don't understand how you do not see this. I think you are choosing to see a particular world view because you are perhaps uncomfortable with how chaoticly complicated the world is.
The people that I look to for the truth in complicated times are: Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibi, Chris Hedges and Sam Harris.
I recommend these people to everyone.

Specifically "Welfare" & "Socialism"
- drewrv 6y agoI don’t think CNN is the pinnacle of journalism, I’m saying they meet a minimum bar of standards that Greenwald doesn’t or can’t. CNN definitely has a bias towards scandal and outrage but so does Greenwald. He has the same incentives as them (clicks) but he does it without fact checkers. What I recommend to people is a diverse media diet. Different mediums, different incentives, etc. So not Fox News and MSNBC, but newspapers, books about current events, public broadcasting, etc. And best to be skeptical of anyone promising “the truth about X” or “what Y doesn’t want you to know”.
