Trump has done, but has continued to improve in spite of Trump.

CNN may have it's moments, but compared to fox it is left of left.

Cooper, Cuomo, Lemon.....come on.

They try to be even but since Trump it has been really hard and now most of the people I watch don't even try anymore. Some of them openly mock or laugh when reading what comes from the White House. I guess you see what you want but I do not want a Fox news of the Left, I want news. I do not have to watch the opinions but the news I want, good or bad. I think CNN walks a pretty good lean to the left most of the time. The people that come on to present sides are whatever they are.

I used to think about them like you do but when watching MSNBC became almost un-watchable I switched over and found it to be much better than I had remembered.

Overall they average out to be much less "Trumpy" than Fox. But It's still quite routine for my family to have to avoid CNN in order to spare ourselves exposure to the likes of Santorum and similar water carriers for the unindicted co-conspirator. Despite some good hosts and some enlightened viewpoints, that they'll allow these liars to have have even the tiniest slice of their air time bothers me greatly.

Every day the hosts methodically rip Trump apart, using specific examples and his own words. That's why right wingers despise CNN and are scared of CNN.

The depictions of CNN here remind me of JFK saying he had difficulty recognizing his positions as described by Nixon.

Anyone who does it might as well stop, because people who actually watches CNN on an extended basis know better. Invariably the ones who criticize catch a brief clip and report something non representative, basically making fools of themselves.

I give no credit to a news organization that has commercials telling people not to believe an apple is an orange while at the same time hiring a bunch of Trump mouthpieces to tell everyone an apple is an orange.
