CNN liberal?

Question

If CNN is so liberal why did they show a ten year old tape of palestinians celebrating in the streets and claiming it to be events occuring on 911.Things such as that basically helped stir up American outrage and helped to get them on board for Bush's war with Iraq which was based on alot of false evidence of a 911 connection.I think republicans watch so much fox news that any other news source seems liberally bias to them because CNN basically gave Bush all the ammunition he needed to get his public war approval at the time.Any thoughts?

Viewing TV fairly as a guy who is not swayed easily and who is willing to vote democrat or republican depending on who seems most fit for the job,i can say honeslty that there is hardly any if any liberal bias in the major news networks.Fox news is the most bias news network and its for republicans,while the other networks have backed both parties at times in their decisions,Fox news is the only one i have seen that is staunchly anti-democrat and never throws them even the slightest of bones in their reporting.They keep Hannity and Combs on just for the purpose of saying "see we have one liberal working for us we are fair and balanced" lol.

Gaby with that being the case why were they all over Clinton when the lewinsky story broke? They didn't try to brush it under the rug they were on him like white on rice.problem with republicans is anything pro republican said is in one ear and out the other,as soon as anything negative is said that doesn't agree with a republican view then suddenly they cry liberal media bias.Republicans will bash networks but think Bill O'reilly is a far and balanced guy cause he says everything they want to hear.As soon as the day comes he lets one slightly liberal comment leave his lips you guys will all call him the biggest liberal supporter in the media,thats how you GOP types operate,everything said has to agree with your views 100 % or its liberal bias trash.

Answer 1

If the information put out is not regurgitated in the manner in which the conservatives want it, than it is considered liberal bias. They are so bent on this that they don't even realize (or maybe they do) that their own message is the tainted one now. They use to have a point and now they have propoganda.

Answer 2

CNN at that time wanted to go to war just like most of us, and all of congress except a few. The CIA and other countries around the world also agreed it was the right thing.

Libs, and CNN are just like the kid that wants to play hardball, but quits and gives up the first time it hurts, then finds something to blame it on. Libs and CNN then decided hey, we will blame it all on Bush and claim they didn't really want to. Bull****. Our congress sent us to war, not Bush. He doesn't have that authority. When are people going to wake up and see that the responsibility to decide to go to war in our government lies with congress. If they screwed up, then hold them accountable.

I see blogs all the time showing good things our soldiers are doing in Iraq. Did you ever see anything good? If you believe the main stream media our soldiers are occupiers and muderers. What about all the Iraqi's that need us there to keep them from being slaughtered? We went there to help them. Are we just going to abandon them? Why is it that our soldiers say most Iraqi's want us there and they feel we are helping them. I choose to believe the soldiers. They don't have an agenda like CNN. They are willing to die for those people. CNN could care less about those people.

If you think CNN is not liberal, then you are certainly a liberal. Don't try to sell yourself as non-biased. At least be proud you are a liberal and say so. Have a wondeful life in LA LA Land with CNN>

Answer 3

I love it when Big Media shows one story that doesn't tow the Liberal line and all the rants from liberals screaming that is evidence that Big Media is in the pockets of the Republican Party

Answer 4

I have heard it called the Clinton News Network in the past. It is very left of center and thats a given. They seem to side more with the enemy than the USof A. Who owns it? Ted Turner. Ever listen , see or read his comments? Go ahead and you will see his mindset right off the bat.

Answer 5

All of the mainline news networks are on the same page, and they are very liberal.

Answer 6

"Liberal Media", heh, one of my favorite myths.
