    And when Townhall is the only permitted mandatory news source?
    News: Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people.

    They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

    I think CNN has a liberal bias. Most people who go into journalism and most people who live in major cities do. I take their commentary (and all other commentary) with a grain of salt.

    I don't however consider them fake news. Fake news implies they fabricate facts. I haven't seen them do that. I have seen them make mistakes though. All outlets do.

    I also don't see them as some agenda driven mouthpiece of the deep state hellbent on destroying Trump. Simply reporting what Trump says is damming enough.

    ...but again, I do find it funny when people criticize CNN yet take outlets like Townhall at their word and ignore the fact that they themselves are biased. I'd argue even more so that the mainstream media.

    I don't actually watch CNN unless there is some large breaking event.

    Id rather turn to Reuters, the CBC, the BBC, the AP and the Economist.

    It's certainly used a great deal here by some posters.

    Agree on those.

    Something that irritates me is the "expert panel" debates that occur in lieu of actual news (have to cover news 24/7 somehow, I guess). In Europe, CNN International just plays the same stories on loop and don't have a bunch of $#@!ing airheads providing their personal - not expert - opinion to stupid $#@!. There was no international equivalent of Fox or MSNBC for comparison, but they all do it in the United States. Those stupid panels. That's not news. That's where you get people saying crazy $#@! and untrue things for the purpose of debate.

    So, after all that, do you think CNN is an objective and credible source of news? Yes.....No?

    You just need to shake your head when you read comments from liberals.

    Actual news events, yes. Commentary is heavily biased.

    Do you have examples of them falsifying news?

    What to you is an objective news source?

    Basically telling Jim and Kirsten to STFU.

    I love it!

    Trump 2020. CNN = Fake News.
    Loved it. They lie all the time and claim they are journalists. They do not deserve to get questions. Acosta and Peter S are in the same boat. Their biased opinions NEVER get in the way of work decisions LOl.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.
