It is not only the liberal bias that makes me dislike in CNN, but I cannot stomach the way they "predigest" the news. Fox and MSNBC will be covering a Bush speech live, and (even important ones) I will turn to CNN and there will be nothing on it. About 10 minutes after the speech ends, a reporter will appear, and quote their version of what Bush said. Often what he said is quite different in emphasis from what they "report" he said.

For instance, I remember the day Bush was speaking on his judicial nominees. A reporter questioned him on Iraq, and he answered it. When CNN reported their blurb, they mentioned nothing but the reporters question, and they implied that was what the news conference was about. After watching that you realize how you are being lied to and that's really why I can't stand CNN.

I think the media is getting a God complex, especially CNN. They think they're God, they think they're the real government and they think they're The People. We got a shooter in DC who is responding to the media. He must be watching all the time. The media is getting out of hand.
