Cnn is supposedly america's trusted news source.
Isn't it about time that CNN provides BOTH points of view, not just Bush's Agenda?

Shouldn't we have a liberal new network? Conservatives have Fox News.

If CNN were truly biased towards liberals wouldn't they have fired Bob Novak when he made that treasonous leak regarding Valarie Plame?
They refer to the Estate Tax as the "Death Tax"
They talk about "Tax Relief" and "Tax Burdens"
They routinely talk of the working poor as "welfare mothers" etc
They talk of Evolution as if it were actually in doubt by the scientific community, rather than a well-documented fact.
They fail to question any Republican who equates the War with Iraq to the War on Terrorism, they have conceded this point to the Republicans, despite the fact that almost no Liberals share this viewpoint.
There are many more examples of how the media's language has been influenced by the Republicans. They are using Republican language to talk about issues. Subtle bias, to be sure, but bias nonetheless.

Please tell me you're joking. CNN is the most conservative of all the networks, barring Fox News, but it still has liberal leaning. I think that CNN is about as far to the left as Fox News is to the right. The others like CBS and MSNBC are way to the left.

Actuall, CNN has been known to lean (actually fall) to the left, they bash Bush and push the liberal agenda.

Yes they are and Yes it is time....people deserve to know what others know and sadly a lot of people only believe what they see on the news so, I think seeing the other side would open some eyes...I couldn't agree more great question btw!

I really don't see CNN the way you seem to. - I've quoted CNN on here a few times and was called a Liberal. (Go figure)

Yes.
If CNN was liberal, they'd show us the flag-drapped coffins coming back from Iraq. But they dont want to erode support for Bush's oil war.

both parties rely on the fact americans will rely on one source for their news.....and the industry is busy supplying one-sided sources
