"CNN Is Terrible. Here's Why."

That is the headline on a Huffington Post story written by Jason Linkins and Elyse Siegel. They are certainly correct that "CNN is terrible" but as to the why they present only cosmetic or minor problems. The big why as to why CNN terrible, namely liberal bias, is left unmentioned in their article. They start out on the right track with amusing observations of just how terrible CNN is:

CNN is terrible. A God-awful, wall-to-wall, epic mess. And now, they have, in their hands, the clearest sign yet of how bad things have actually gotten. This past April, CNN posted its lowest ratings in 10 years. The New York Times' Brian Stelter recently noted the slim upside, writing, "people tune in to CNN, the same way they hurry to a hospital when they think they are having a heart attack." But what news channel does CNN have to tune in to, to learn the gory details of its own longrunning, sad disaster? Good news: we are that news channel.

They just can't get themselves to say the L-word.

CNN is terrible because it is not, yet, MSNBC. :)

Well, I have to say that I agree with Newt. He said that CNN was more fair during the Primary process than FOX. He was spot on. I said months ago that FOX was in the tank for Romney because the were / are. I can't stand to watch Ann Coulter any more. She made a lot of money off of Conservatives with her book sales. Now, for the past 6 months, she's been in bed with Chris Christie and Mitt Romney. They all love Romney over at FOX. 'Nuff said.

I had lunch with a very liberal friend this week.

She started talking about the things she had heard on CNN about Barry. Not complimentary. I was surprised. More importantly, she was surprised.

I guess CNN is moving right and Fox is moving left. Go figure.

Whatever the case..she’s pretty die hard, so if it makes her think, I’m all for it.
