How would you describe the political leanings of CNN?
- monocasa 5y agoBroadly neo-liberal, probably closest to Ordoliberalism if one branch had to be picked.
- tjpnz 5y agoCentrist or centre-right if judged by non-US standards.
- mardifoufs 5y agoAre you american? CNN would be extremely liberal on social issues pretty much everywhere in the world.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> CNN would be extremely liberal on social issues pretty much everywhere in the world. Debatable, but even if true, its corporate capitalist economic stance would have it somewhere between the center and center-right, definitely no further left, the economic axis being the main determinant of left-right position.
- mardifoufs 5y agoI'd agree on your last point but I'd be curious to hear any example of a more socially liberal mainstream channel in the west.
- TechBro8615 5y agoI’d like to see an end to this trope of “US liberalism would be conservative anywhere else.” In terms of social issues, it’s blatantly untrue, and US liberals are easily the furthest left of any foreign liberal group on most social issues. In terms of economic issues, it’s only true when comparing actual laws – the progressive wing of the US Democratic Party is at least as far left as any liberal political group holding similar power in any other country.
- Dma54rhs 5y agoAre you serious? On social issues cnn is very hard left compared to any parts of the world.
