1. I've been saying CNN is the new Fox for awhile now

They're completely right-wing. That's a fact. They're not legitimate news anymore.

It could end up with a net gain result and educate the trumpers who are now disillusioned....

Ad time is purchased, not programmed. I doubt MSNBC would block it.

9. I don't recall ever seeing a pro-life commercial on CNN before and I found it offensive

I don't watch MSNBC, but it seems CNN is doing more and more right wing stuff lately. I always preferred CNN to MSNBC, but was thinking of switching (I like news on in the background so the house isn't quiet). But geez, if MSNBC is showing offensive commercials too, I just might have to find something else to put on. Maybe I'll just play Sex and the City over and over again and not watch any news.

The liberal equivalent of complaining about "woke". Everyone claims it exists and nobody points to an actual example.

16. It's just that I notice more repubs on lately. And Trump is on now getting a platform. But you are

right, maybe I'm misjudging CNN.

In fact, after I read your reply, I felt ashamed for being too hasty.

I went back to the poll and undid my No response and I'm watching Trump now. He's currently talking about 9 month old fetuses being killed and bragging about Roe v Wade being gone. Also saying how the first thing he'd do when back in office is Drill Baby Drill.

I will stop complaining about CNN giving republicans and Trump a platform and keep on watching.

CNN ? Well, I just never have reason to tune in. Mediocrity and mendacity aren’t my thing.

Still waiting for someone to point out the obvious RW spin.

This is a right-wring originated conspiracy theory that too many credulous people on the left fell for and they won't let it go despite the utter lack of evidence to support it.

Democrats are supposed to be part of a "reality-based community." Of course they are also supposed to support Democrats.

8. Fox News is specifically a conservative propaganda channel

CNN may pander to Repukes more than they did 3 years ago, but overall, they don't have a deliberate agenda like Fox.

they are saying threads are tiresome. Back to trashing I guess.

And then a minute later somebody citing CNN it's COMICAL.
