well if the want anyone to see the promo, they will have to show it on fox

nice

CNN is in complete denial about who they are and what they say. The went into the gutter chasing MSNBC (teabagging anyone?) and lost their way. They panels are always outweighed liberal to conservative by about 5-1 (remember all those tables of pundits on election night)? Having a RINO on with a disgraced democrat governor isn’t down the middle…it’s left leaning.

Unless and until CNN admits who and what they are, they are going nowhere in the ratings.

You took the words right out of my mouth…………

Good ad; wont make a difference.

CNN is every bit as left wing as MSNBC, they just don’t advertise it. They play pretend. Candy Crowley, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Paul Begala, James Carville, Tony Harris, John King, Howard Kurtz, John Roberts, Jeffrey Toobin, Eliot Spitzer, Don Lemon, Larry King, Rick Sanchez , Donna Brazile, Jack Cafferty, Roland Martin, Soledad O’Brien – are you kidding me?

“Having a RINO on with a disgraced democrat governor isn’t down the middle…it’s left leaning”
You’re right on and having about 25 libs versus five RINOs on election night makes for silly squabbling, not must see TV. Plus the loathsome teabag-term inventor Anderson Cooper is 360 degrees from normal—walkin’ on the wild side & screaming at decent people for expressing their beliefs. That’s the operative CNN mode.

Yeah CNN definitely has no liberal bias. (thanks to newsbusters.org for making this easy)

Obviously I’ve proven my point.

My question is: When did left-of-center become ‘not playing favorites’?

CNN: your ratings suck because you are MSNBC Lite. Most liberals who agree with you don’t even watch because they would rather not have the diet version of liberal bias when they can have the real thing at MSNBC.

The rest of us, AKA the vast majority of Americans (60-80%), can see right through you and would rather get their ‘news’ elsewhere.

They have a reporter in the back seat of Sherrad’s car when the President calls. First days in office Papa Smurf and King have lunch with the president. Papa Smurf shows up at water pistol day with all the other kiss asses in the press at White House invitation. He follows up every negative comment about Obama with a defensive rebuttal. Interviews Biden’s son right before the debate in Delaware and allows him to trash O’Donnell when he’s the supposed mediator. CNN sucks because they won’t come out of the closet and tell you they’re the administration station. Wouldn’t doubt they give them the questions so they can rehearse the answers. Only station Axelrod doesn’t mumble like he has rocks in his mouth. I’ve begged the gym I work out at to please change the preset TV. They should be putting their logo under the tails of the elephant and donkey.

The day I was able to have CNN removed from the TV in reception for our company and had a local news station shown in it’s place, was a very good day.

It was simple, I simply said that many people disagree with how they cover world events and our customers do not need it keeping them company. Who the hell wants to wait for a business meeting and have to listen to Tony Harris? We want them to buy, not vomit.

Two words: Parker Spitzer

Sometimes CNN is more unwatchable than MSNBC because they are arrogantly oblivious to their bias where as MSNBC has stopped pretending.

Mediaite’s assertion that CNN is “non-partisan” is laughable.

Not a bad ad…sadly disenlightened and AntiHyperbole are correct

Too bad it is not so true…they are MSNBC lite.

“Sometimes CNN is more unwatchable than MSNBC because they are arrogantly oblivious to their bias where as MSNBC has stopped pretending.”

Amanpour and Zakaria are two clueless wonders whose elevators have stopped reaching the top floor long ago and both personify the foreign policy blind spot that mirrors the Parker/ASpitzer Laugh-In commentary on domestic politics.

Arguments about CNN & MessNBC’s stances on domestic politics remind me of the ancient diatribes between Trotskyites and Stalinists on who’s more faithful to the master—Karl [Marx, not Rove] still rules in the mindset of these two failed and discredited [by American eyeballs] “news” venues.

Bill Bennett, Mary Matalin, Erick Erickson, Ed Rollins, David Frum. I believe there are more but I really don’t watch CNN very often. Their election night coverage featured a pretty even split. Could they do better? It’s possible. But they feature many conservative political commentators.

And the ad is a smart move. It’s worth a shot. Some people (obviously) may not agree with their centrist claim, but there’s a potential audience there.

CNN is not fooling anyone. Not only do they have a political bias, they love highlighting ther racial and religious divide within this country.

How frequently do all you CNN critics actually watch it? If it’s so terrible and biased, I can’t imagine you sit down and watch very often, or for more than a few minutes at a time.

Let’s see….the OP lists 18 full on liberals……not a squishy in the bunch and SEVERAL who headline shows.

Your retort……2 RINOS, a CC establishment Repub and two conservatives. And then a pissy passive agressive attempt at cover.

But you are right about one thing….they have their place……it’s right below everything on Fox and just above everything on MSNBC.

CNN is as close to unbiased and balanced cable “news” as we have. Not perfect, but a much more news-related programming. The ad is correct. FOX “News” and, to a lesser extent, MSNBC do nothing but reaffirm pre-existing prejudicies. In the long run, I think people will return to news-based viewing and CNN will is the best we have.

Oh and as a PS Paul…….Which of those listed by you has his or her own program at CNN?

You know like Shep and Greta have at Fox?

That bastion of right wingerism……………

Not at all. They might miss Beckerhead or O’Hannity bloviating.

Look at your post. “18 full on liberals, “2 RINOS,” “CC establishment Repub,” “pissy passive aggressive.” You aren’t looking for a reasonable discussion. Go ahead and post your partisan rants if it makes you feel better. I’ll pass on trying to debate with the likes of you.

I know it bothers you when folks have a zero tolerance for your liberal bull shit.

Sorry…..

The King says MSNBC is biased, but to a lesser extent. I guess instead of just name calling, he would prefer they break into outright swearing.

ChickaBOOMer: CNN Discriminates Against Deaf In New Promo

Right, like when they hired Glenn Beck and promoted nativist Lou Dobbs…so very liberal they were.

Dumping Dobbs was a step in the right direction for them to become the ONLY fair and balanced news network. Unfortunately, Hillary is right: most people want to be told views that reinforces their strong beliefs.

The difference between MSNBC and FoxPAC isn’t the bias; they’re both biased. The difference, the false comparisons, has to do with the fabrications that take place every day on Fox.

http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/09/bias-vs-truthiness-analyzing-media.html

Just this morning Fox and Friends had a guest lying through his teeth, but it happens every damn day there.

Today, Fox’s Gallagher reports false claim that U.S. courts are “increasingly … using Sharia law”

http://mediamatters.org/research/201011100009

Once again, GBR is being held at gunpoint and being forced to watch Fox. Someone call 911!

You really are exactly what you advertise yourself as: unenlightened. You sure do buy into the brainwashing — make that programming — from the self-contained, right wing media sphere. Their champions, the regressive Media Research Center, make the bias on MSM, including CNN, a big issue while totally ignoring the far right bias on FoxPAC and the blatant lies that they replicate like a deadly virus. (In that sense, the right-wing echo machine — including FoxPAC — is sick.

Fact is that CNN is actually Fair and Balance while FoxPAC is the most trusted name in news. FoxPAC isn’t trust worthy, but that doesn’t stop the 41% of Americans, who are conservative/reactionary, from watching them. Like liberals watching MSNBC, they want their views reinforced. They trust the network that lies to them day after day after day. Beck in this regard, is just the most egregious liar of them off.

The ad should show CNN riding the donkey.

No all CNN needs is to grow a backbone to challenge guests that make outlandish claims.

Why would CNN want to admonish itself? Oh, they mean “everyone else but them.”

Actually CNN should be called “Fox Lite”.
