I personally think that it is right to be pretty skeptical of ALL news outlets at the moment. Am I saying that none of them get it right ever? Of course not.
I would also ask anyone who is upset about this article calling out CNN to reflect on why they are upset. Is it because CNN is associated with being an ally of the left? I would ask the same if anyone feeling the same way about Fox/your favorite news outlet here.
I didn’t read the linked article because I don’t really care if the fact in the headline is true or false. It doesn’t matter.
What I worry about these days relates to the first sentence I wrote. Damn near every story from cable/entertainment news requires a deeper look and is usually written in such a way to inspire outrage and or binary tribalism. If that doesn’t scare you a little I would humbly ask you to reconsider.
- miked85 5y agoAgreed. I think the problem with CNN more than others such as MSNBC or Fox News is that CNN mixes opinion and news pretty aggressively. Daily or weekend news with the latter two is relatively objective, prime time is almost entirely option, but viewers know this. With CNN, it is all conflated.
- xtracto 5y agoI dont know of any CNN programs that are not opinion. From Anderson Cooper to Don Lemon (4 hours in the afternoon?') They are all obvious opinion / propaganda. As a person outside the US. I watch some of them along with Fox news opinion programs mainly for fun
