Can someone tell me, in all seriousness, what has happened to CNN in this news cycle?
All snark aside, I remember, back in the 1990s, they had a reputation, fairly or unfairly, as being in the tank for Clinton. So much so that at that point, they were derisively referred to in some quarters as “CNN – the Clinton News Network.”
Now, I have done no empirical study to register bias, or that sort of thing, but it just appears to me that whenever I look in on them (and that is increasingly infrequent nowadays!) they just seem to constantly be pushing an anti-Obama agenda.
Whether it is BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI every single night – as their top news story, on each and every prime time show, hour after hour, or always referring to Mit-mentum, or somewhat amazingly referring to, say, a 2 point Romney lead in some poll as indication that “Romney is surging in front,” but a 4 point Obama lead in another poll as nothing more than (the race is a dead heat – within the margin for error) – when you look in and see stuff like this going on, hour after hour, day after day, week after week – well, you just start thinking that this cannot be random, this cannot be coincidence, but somewhere within ZCNN, for some reason, they have been told/or decided to constantly push an anti-Obama story line.
I am missing something here? I do not want to sound all “conspiratorial” or anything. So, maybe I am letting my own biases cloud my judgment.
But honestly, is this how it appears with you folks – or am I just not seeing the forest through the trees here?
