21. I am really confused about this step

Licht has ruined CNN. If I want to hear what a right wing a**hole says, I’d change to right wing media. I can see that they are trying to get those former Carlson watchers but the thing is, those watchers already hate CNN. They aren’t going to move over and Licht has ruined a moderate channel. I hope the journalists I like leave so I can watch them elsewhere. Anderson Cooper’s show is the last program I watch on CNN. What a damn shame.

They absolutely aren't right wing. Just stop. Cuthbert Allgood May 2023 #1

They are right wing. Trump is a traitor and doesn't deserve a town hall Marius25 May 2023 #6

Can you please show me one credible media bias tracker that puts them right? Cuthbert Allgood May 2023 #13

we can see it for ourselves. FoxNewsSucks May 2023 #16

And you account for confirmation bias Cuthbert Allgood May 2023 #73

Thanks for acknowledging my correctness FoxNewsSucks May 2023 #79

Sites that do an aggregate study of bias put CNN on the left (to varying degrees). Cuthbert Allgood May 2023 #89

And have any of those trackers based their ratings on CNN after Licht took over? Marius25 May 2023 #19

Most are very up-to-date with what they look at. Cuthbert Allgood May 2023 #74

Why do you seem so offended by this prospect? NotVeryImportant May 2023 #15

I don't necessarily see CNN as either right wing or left leaning. ShazzieB May 2023 #34

If you're economically on the right, you're right wing. NotVeryImportant May 2023 #45

Because we don't need to be like the other side Cuthbert Allgood May 2023 #72

I honestly haven't seen much rightwing bias in their coverage, when I've watched them. LymphocyteLover May 2023 #59

That is why I never watch CNN and that Chris Licht guy is trying to make it Fox lite. kimbutgar May 2023 #2
