Is CNN a "left wing" station?

[Douglas Carpenter]

37. "The election of Barack Obama in NO WAY WHATOEVER indicates a shift to the left in public opinion"

"The last thing he will want to do is alienate voters by pushing a left-wing agenda."I remember John King on the morning Barack Obama was elected - over and over again he kept stressing this point as he equally stressed the point that when Scott Brown won the Senate race from Massachusetts this represented a seismic change in political attitudes even in liberal Massachusetts. I also remember how CNN ran with the White Water story from earliest days of the Clinton Administration and did everything they could try take Clinton down – relentlessly from day one without ever taking a break. Then during the 2000 election season how they did everything they could to berate Al Gore and portray him as a liar and an out of touch elitist. Then immediately as soon as Fox New “called” Florida and the election for Bush – there was CNN faithfully doing their duty and pushing the Fox News line and knowingly and intentionally representing the scene created in Dade County by GOP operatives as if it was ordinary people standing up for a fair election. We all remember how CNN refused to even cover absolutely pertinent information about the registration fraud and election fraud in Florida. Then in 2004 they played the same game all over again with John Kerry. In fact Kerry couldn't even finish a sentence without some right-wing ding-bat trying to spin everything he said. And of course no one can possibly deny the absolutely crucial role CNN played in intententionally tricking the American public into supporting the invasion of Iraq. All of this goes without even having to mention how CNN represents any challenge to neoliberal economics and "war on terror" assumptions aa crank opinions that are way beyond the pale. I suppose if Fox News sets the standard - CNN may sound left-wing. I guess that's what counts for "left-wing."
