Ben just now figured that out?
Ahhhhh ... geeeee ... when did Ben notice this ... *cough* *cough* ... sudden lurch to the Left that CNN has apparently made?
CNN and Al Sharpton’s PMSNBC are in a battle for 2nd place in the cable news ratings. Being 2nd is like kissing your sister. LOL! Go at it boys!
CNN used to be great? Not so Ben, they have always bent to the left.
CNN, leaning left? Who knew? BTT
CNN staffers admitted to suppressing news accounts of torture and abuse under Saddam Hussein to maintain their Baghdad bureau in Iraq.
We’ve since been told that the media has held their tongue on the actions by Hamas in the current missile volley against Israel because Hamas requires such censorship.
Time-Lies, boycott Time-Warner-CNN-HBO.
Has Stein been in a coma since CNN delivered its first newscast?
Some people are so clueless. It is almost like I am embarrassed for them.
“CNN Has ‘Flipped Out in a Leftward Direction’”
What the he__ did anyone THINK was going to happen when they named Former NBC President and former Obama speechwriter Jeff Zucker as President of CNN??
Did he think Zucker wouldn’t turn CNN into an MSNBC clone???
On the bright side, Zucker was informed this week of SERIOUS layoffs at Turner Broadcasting, and CNN was going to take the brunt of it, forcing a “Change in how we do business”

They finally retracted the story in total after a week or so after it was proven their source was a lunatic. But they ran it hard and heavy, especially on their international broadcasts.
CNN has always mirrored the personality of their founder — Ted Turner. They have always been nuts.
Some say Ben did, too after seeing some of his bizarre appearances on cable news shows (and the noticeable lack of appearances on others)
because CNN used to really be great and I can remember when it was great,”

CNN? Great? Typical Nixon Republican.
“They’ve flipped out. I don’t know what happened to CNN because CNN used to really be great and I can remember when it was great,” Stein said Tuesday on “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.
Maybe it was after Ted Turner’s “11 Voluntary Initiatives,” a summary of his pet causes (starting with “I promise to care for planet Earth … ”). He keeps a copy in his wallet—minitablets that bear a deliberate, if slightly hubristic, resemblance to the Ten Commandments. “You have to have rules to live by—nations need it, the world needs it, humanity needs it,” he explains. “I thought if we’re gonna start over with a parallel set of rules, voluntary initiatives would be more acceptable because people don’t want to be commanded anymore today.”

CNN is a product of the 60’s generation. This generation made great music and loosened things up (which we all needed) but, they are absolutely crappy adults. “Imagine” by John Lennon is a beautiful little song, but it can not be the basis for running a country. CNN simply will not accept this fact of humanity.
They 6’s generation really thought that when Obama became President the world would become a place of peace and harmony. Now that they are getting the spanking they should have got 55 years ago (via ISIS, IRS scandal, and the obviously corrupt Obama administration to name a few highlites), perhaps the boomers are finally maturing. But, if that were the case, why does CNN exist?
Now that I think about, until the 60’s generation passes through the sands of time (with all due respect), our country will be in mortal danger. The Beatles, The Mama’s and the Papa’s, and Bob Dylan simply can not run a country...even if they can help us find our inner self.
Ben, when did you discover this leftward slant? Ben is good, but if he thought CNN ever had a conservative view...
I want to know, exactly, when the entire, worldwide MSM wasn’t pro-leftist and what caused the change to “all leftist, all of the time”! Ditto, the entertainment world!
Apparently gangs like CNN and MSNBC have decided to abandon the field when it comes to competitive journalism and to accept whatever modest but consistent profits they can make from pandering to their own little niche of the public - in both cases trying to provide what the especially - in contrast to the just plain everyday - loony left wants to see and hear - they’re incapable of providing reasonably objective and accurate reporting to the people, and at least they seem to know their limitations.....
