CNN Contributor Accuses CNN of Bias Against Republicans ‘at Times’

CNN contributor Ruben Navarrette, Jr. thinks his own part-time employer can be biased against Republicans.

In an interview with Newsmax TV host Steve Malzberg, the syndicated columnist agreed that Republican candidates should skip the Univision-hosted primary debate, because of the network’s “warped” perspective as a “shill for the Democratic Party.”

He went after MSNBC for being a “liberal network” that has “no semblance of truth.” Likewise, he said, Fox News has a heavy “bias in favor of the right.”

“I’ll leave CNN out of this, out of respect, because you work there, but what about NBC, CBS?” Malzberg asked his guest. “A lot of people, including me, would say they’re totally biased against Republicans.”

“I would agree with that as well,” Navarrette replied, but then he went a step further: “I think CNN also fits that category as well at times.”

CNN’s bigger problem, he suggested, was “covering the wrong stories.”
