CNN is useless, but they are not a liberal Fox. (MSNBC most assuredly is)

I really wish there was a better 24 hour news network than *any* of the ones we have. - Kim Pine Sep 19, 15:16 2
- The problem comes back to there not really being 24 hours worth of news a day. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 15:17 1
  - True. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 19, 15:19
geez, some folks at the Y think of CNN as the Communist Nationalist Network and thank jesus that Fox has the balls to stand up to their radical agenda -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 14:57 1

You're right, MSNBC is more Fox's liberal leaning counterpoint than is CNN, but they're still left leaning. - Stephen Sep 19, 14:53 5
- I guess the CNN opinion depends on what side you are looking from. - ty97 Sep 19, 14:59
- Honestly I've always viewed CNN the other way. Wolf Blitzer and Nancy Grace are hardly left leaning. - pmb Sep 19, 14:59 2
  - Isn't she on HLN? -- nm - MDH Sep 19, 15:01 1
    - Not sure, but HLN is part of CNN. -- nm - pmb Sep 19, 15:03
- Remove "leaning" - Stephen Sep 19, 14:55

- on the opinion shows they do, when they do straight news (like Chris Jansing) they're pretty good. -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 15:19
- There's been inaccurate spin in the editing process of clips, but I do not think it is the equivalent of Fox News in terms of spreading outright lies. -- nm - pmb Sep 19, 15:00
- this is my question too, I've seen some of the more egregious things fox has done, I haven't for msnbc. not that this means they're not out there. -- nm - mafic Sep 19, 14:58 1
  - msnbc tends to head off a lot of those kinds of complaints by insidious usage of things like facts, public records...stupid stuff like that. -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 15:00
- I haven't looked into it in that detail, I just quit MSNBC (when I had cable) because it was an echo chamber, not news. -- nm - ty97 Sep 19, 14:55
- no, not at all, sure they cherry pick, but they are not a george goebles/William Randolph Herst propaganda machine like Murdocks Fox -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 14:55
