CNN is a "media conglomerate" when reporting on Sanders, but heroic again ehrnst Mar 2019 #50

CNN is a corporate media conglomerate. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #76

You used that as a perjorative. ehrnst Mar 2019 #89

They are certainly not a corporate media conglomerate along the lines of CNN. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #92

Jacobin is pretty much all editorial, and not journalism as such. ehrnst Mar 2019 #97

That's been the increasing case for decades with the corporate media conglomerates. Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #107

That still doesn't make Jacobin, the National Review, The Intercept, or the American Spectator or RT ehrnst Mar 2019 #110

It makes them editorials, I see nothing wrong with that. Personally I view Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #114
