CNN is biased - John Roberts: Democrats as "we"

[NanoEmpyrean]

Liberal bias in the media, implies that more than half of all the independent and major media outlets are corrupted.

It's a comical notion, because it implies that the majority of media outlets are corrupted while only a choosen few are exempted from said corruption.

Realistically, wouldn't it be the other way around?

With all the forms of broadcasting these days, i've heard the media is becoming more and more the voice of the people. Perhaps, im just naive.

[ashley92wales]

why are your 2 main news networks so biased?!

maybe they should take some lessons from the bbc

[skydome29]

or the cbc

[fasthondaz]

Both of which are biased to the left. You have no choice what to watch.

[skydome29]

I'd rather listen to a peter mansbridge interview than the ramblings of glen beck or sean hannity, they like Fox sell out to corporations. Instead of having the balls to give a reasonable conservative network, they instill fear-mongering and call it "news".

[zigzagzoo12]

I think BBC is just as biased as CNN but I watched it only a few times. The cold hard fact is that ALL news organizations are biased in one way or another; however, I respect the ones that are honest and fair about their reporting. Fox is unique because it brings people from all sides to cover and discuss all issues. CNN seems to have learned this from Fox as I notice just a few more conservatives on there now. Also, the commentators on Fox admit their political leanings and not try to hide it

@zigzagzoo12

So if more ppl agree with the approach that the liberals have taken, it means the they are bias to that party?

[1872959]

this is nothing of what goes on in fox news, as sean hannity has radio show and calls it the conservative underground.

[ChurchillTea]

Sean Hannity does not claim to be unbiased. He admits that he IS biased. He is not ajournalist

[EllaChase]

It cracks me up how everyone talks about Fox News' biased views, yet they have nothing to say when the views of EVERYONE else is put into question.

[axristi]

CNN = Corrupted News Network

[zigzagzoo12]

@axristi, did they change their name again? I realize they changed their name from Clinton News Network a few years before he left office, but did they change it again?

I always thought that CNN=Communist News Network.

[RichieEastside]

@zigzagzoo12 either that or Clinton's News Network, if you rewind 13-15 years.

[klrdotorg]

No surprise here. 80 to 90% of jounalists favor democrats.

[McCainDemocrat]

Once this election is over and no matter who the winner is, America has to find an alternative to CNN, "the most biased name in news."

[WeCameFromMars]

Well, let's see here. We have..

Fox - Pro Republican

Msnbc - Pro Democrat

CNN - Pro Democrat

WTF!?!?! There is no un-biased media anymore.

[zigzagzoo12]

Actually it's more like CNN = Democrats MSNBC = Left-wing Liberal Democrats Fox = Moderate Republicans CBS = Liberal Democrats ABC/NBC = Moderate Democrats Comedy Central/HBO = Left wing liberal Democrats Talk Radio = 80% are Conservatives and Libertarians Internet = 70% are Left wing liberal Democrats (Kos, Huffington Post, Time, etc...) Google/Youtube/Yahoo = Left wing Environmental Democrats Newspapers = 90% are Democrats (NY Times, LA Times, etc) Magazines = 75% are Democrats

[chrisiorfida]

hey morons, he's neither, he's Canadian...quit looking for conspiracies, he was obviously using the general we

[EmilyGreene1984]

Why should he use the word "we"? Not everyone living in America is a Democrat. There are Republicans, conservatives (fiscal or social - which I am, personally), Independents, etc. I agree that CNN is very biased in favour of Democratic & liberal policies. If you go back to a Jan. 9 interview that John Roberts had with Obama, he admitted that he wanted to raise taxes. So now he "changes" his story and most people are voting for him. Unbelieveable.

[bdownie]

At least we republicans can spell and use proper grammar.

[NanoEmpyrean]

@bdownie

That's great.

You can also ship jobs to fkn china. I don't hear you boasting about that, tho.

Anti-Outsourcing Bill was the right place the start. Ending bush tax and decreasing taxes on the american consumer (demand-side), also punishing the businesses would are sitting on stimulus money but not hiring are all perfectly reasonable actions for the government to take.

Face it. The Republican party has become corrupted.

[HoosierinDC]

I hope he is a dem because he's hot. Anyway, it isn't like other stations' anchors don't show their choices anyway (can someone guess what party affliation everyone on Fox Propagana is?).

[cartagena612]

Um, you guys are on drugs or something. Reporters have there own opinions outside their shows, just because he is a democrat (I don't even no if he is, it could've just been a flub), doesn't mean that they are bias. You stupid republicans can't stand the fact that you're precious focksnooze network is republican and CNN is not

[EmilyGreene1984]

Your insults don't further your point and also, unless the rules to the news have changed, it was important to be non-partisan and not try to influence anyone with your views.

[OBXN]

How much air time each week is given to those two Democrat party hacks, Carvel and whatever this pasty-face guy's name is? When a factual and impartial analysis might be useful CNN trots out these two monkeys again and again and again to try to sell viewers a point of view.  Enough!!! A few years ago, I used to love CNN. But now everything is an attempted smudge against the Republicans, especially Palin over the last two weeks. How did as great a news organization as CNN become so biased????

[endorphinz]

Ha! lol...lettin' the truth slip out.

[profnc]

Finally admitted.

[eyetee1]

gotcha ;0
